The Boy Genius Report (BGR) claims to have an internal AT&T memo, dated today, which states in part:
June 4, 2010
iPhone 3G 8 GB is Out of Stock
Effective immediately, iPhone 3G 8GB is Out of Stock. Please refer all customers to iPhone 3GS 16 GB and 32 GB models.
It is widely believed that Appel will debut their new iPhone model(s) on Monday, June 7, during Steve Jobs’ WWDC 2010 keynote in San Francisco.

Available June 7th- 4G IPhone
My 16GB 3G has served me well the past 2 years; it’s earned an honorable retirement. See you at the Apple Store in line for my new one!
I will finally be upgrading my 2G. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” />
Coming up on 3 years with THE original iPhone. What a great 1st generation baby it’s been! Getting the new one next week.
Any suggestions for the old one?
I will be a little surprised if the new iPhone has an immediate availability. I mean, doesn’t a new phone first have to undergo 30 days of FCC scrutiny? Of course the announcement will come on Monday, but I foresee an early July availability.
Okay, so the 3G 8Gb is sold out… Say that in your headline.
Apple aswell as Walmart are on pair with this too. It’s being phased out. This is not news.
I’ll finally be upgrading my 1G
@ TheConfuzed1
Ditto.
Appel ???
Maybe in another Apple move, AT&T;leapfrogs and goes to 5G

You’re KILLING me, Willie G. I hope you are dead wrong. Papa wants the new iPhone now!
— but I have a feeling you’re right….
However, wasn’t there a story about ATT canceling any June vacations for store employees, supposedly so they’d be on hand for the rush for the new iPhone?
Is the 3G the model WalMart is selling for $97?
Good move, since the iPhone 3G only partially supports iPhone OS 4.0 (no third-party multi-tasking).
People should not call the next iPhone “4G.” “3G” came from support of the 3G network, not because it was the 3rd generation iPhone (it was 2nd gen). I suppose this new iPhone is actually the 4th generation iPhone, but it does not support a 4G wireless network.

4gb 1G phone with spontaneously cracked screen (from a month ago) ready for retirement. Soooo, ready for multi-tasking and front-facing camera. Come on, Steve-O, hook a fanboy up!
2007 • iPhone – original iPhone, 1st generation, AT&T;EDGE network only
2008 • iPhone 3G – 2nd generation iPhone, supports AT&T;’s 3G network
2009 • iPhone 3GS – 3rd generation iPhone, supports AT&T;’s 3G network, faster processor, more memory. This is the one WalMart is selling for $97 now.
2010 • iPhone ??? (I’ve heard iPhone HD among other things, probably will NOT be called iPhone 4G) – 4th generation iPhone, supports AT&T;’s 3G network, completely redesigned (apparently), lots more bells and whistles (apparently), but NOT ready for anyone’s 4G network (apparently)
they will eventually get rid of the #G naming convention… This may be the beginning of a new naming after iPhone.. HD is possible.. then HD 2
3G 2nd Gen iPhone for sale. Well used but still in great shape:
(123) 555-5555. Will be available June 7th.
Please, someone explain to me the whole “forward facing camera” thing because how the hell am I suppose to use it to take pictures of something other then my face? Yeah, I get the whole iChat thing but besides that, how do I take pictures of things in front of me without two camera lenses. Will it have one on front and back?

I use mine as an e-reader, to surf the net in the house (on wifi) and as an iPod in the yard.
@ iGads
If it does indeed have a forward-facing camera, as we’ve been lead to believe, then yes, it will have two camera lenses.
Will they be the same quality? Will they both take still pictures and video? Will you be able to iChat on 3G and/or WiFi?
These and other burning questions are mere hours from being answered…. is it Monday yet?
Hey MDN! It’s Apple, not Appel.
@Willie G: Maybe it’s already gone through the FCC stuff already…they may have set the schedule for that based on the schedule for WWDC…
@Willie G
Harleys and iPhones…cool combo.
I gave my 1st gen phone to my daughter and popped a pay as you go sim in it, it’s great for whenever she visits me here in the UK.
