CNBC is reporting on air that the iPhone will be released on June 20th.
According to MacRumors, “iPhone sales/support training runs from May 30th – June 20th, giving more credibility to the June 20th date.”

Woo! iPhone! Now bring it to Canada!
Was there ever any doubt.
It seems it just the short sellers and M$ fud makers that have doubted the availability date.
Hooray! that’s my birthday! Too bad it won’t be in Canada yet!
;-{!
Wednesday? I never could get the hang of Wednesdays.
GPS, AM/FM radio, more storage capacity, 3G, better camera w/zoom.
I’ve had plenty of toys, the “wow” factor and being able to impress your friends wears off real fast. If you show it around, you create jealousy and in danger of being viewed as cultist.
Then comes the actual long term use of the product, getting value for your hard earned money.
I use my TomTom, I use my Razor to make calls. I use my 10 megapixel zoom camera. I use my Mac computer because of the bigger screen. I use my video iPod to store all my music only. I use the radio to listen to other things. If I run I’ll use the shuffle occassionally.
I don’t use the camera phone, it’s totally lame. I don’t use the web on my phone, Cingular’s Edge is annoying slow. I pay a fortune for media service and hardly use it.
I don’t use the Razor to play music, the storage is too little, if I did the battery would run down.
So until the iPhone’s capability catches up to the level of all my other devices, it’s not worth replacing them with a iPhone.
Sure the drool factor is big, but it’s not practical yet.
I predict that I will be unable to go to work on June 20th.
Is it “the 20th, or by the 20th? The 11th-15th is WWDC. I think Steve at least needs to receive an audible call near the end of the keynote announcing the release date in order to create even more hype and longer lines waiting at the stores the next week, so the media will give it the top story, but I don’t want the iPhone to muddy up Leopard, though.
Where’s my iPhone countdown widget?
Well, June 20th is a little better than the END of June. If true, I know what I’ll be doing that Wednesday.
I hope Steve Jobs will give a brief display of new iPhone program/widgets, etc., and show how they integrate with Leopard.
So get your iPod video out, buy the cool new Lost game on iTunes for 5 smackeroos, and get in line on the 20th.
GPS would be cute, but I couldn’t care less about am/fm radio. There are always better features in the future – in the mean time, I need a phone…
Now comes the ‘where-to-get-it’ game. The Cingular mini-store down the street said, and I quote, “we’re fighting to get a few”. I took from that statement that they won’t be available at all Cingular stores. There is one Apple store here in Richmond, and the faithful are probably already lined up there. What to do?
@ ChrissyOne, I am glad you could never get the HUNG of Wednesday’s It sounds painful to the throat!
Before iphone (BI)
After iphone (AI)
The competition had better make hay while the BI exists!
The real BOMB to drop on WWDC would be an iPhone SDK. Steve could say there’s no guarantee that third-party apps developed for the phone will make it into general distribution, but it would sure get people excited about the platform and put an end to this “closed” phone nonsense.
@crabapple
that’s not even remotely funny…
as long as it’s not June 19.
I have an appointment with a bullhorn that day.
ok some pretty weird comments today.
@ neverfade I specialize in the most terrible jokes you’ve ever heard or read. I don’t mean rude, I mean unfunny to the point it becomes almost funny.
You got the point with your comment.
Go to start collect $200.00
Word up, neverfade.
What is it with some poster’s that they feel the insatiable need to pounce upon, and trounce, the perpetrator of the slightest grammatical or spelling infraction?
Yes, young Crabapple, ChrissyOne is a girl, and thus a mystery to you. But, be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid only of standing still; for, it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
@ BobM, “Where’s my iPhone countdown widget?”
Here’s one:

…although it doesn’t seem to be counting down to the 20th, which after all is not verified anyway.
You are an idiot. Until you’ve seen the finished product and test driven it in person, you have no idea if it will do the job or not.
At least keep an open mind about the iPhone until it is released. Your post sounds like you’re on the Windows CE development team, the poor bastards.
What a good day..It’s my birthday!
Wednes? hmmmm wonder what that is.
Since when do we trust Apple rumors from companies like CNBC?????
From your post, I would suggest that you are not in the iPhone’s target market, but there are many, many, many people who are. Here’s an easy solution for any other complainers: if the iPhone’s features don’t match what you’re looking for, don’t buy it. Save the initial limited quantity for those of who will be over the moon with the device just the way it is.
