Will is right, the lowest ranking people at AT&T that know details would be the Directors of Sales (DOS) for a given area, and of course apple has them sign papers to keep quiet. No store reps, store managers, or even area managers know official launch dates. However, I did overhear some coversations between a few DOS's and I know that it is supposed to be launched on a Friday, and along with some other internal documents dealing with store scheduling would also point to definaetly the last 2 weeks of June. My guess is it will Launch on the 15th or the 22nd, and most likely the 22nd. I heard some other cool new info, but I dont know how true it is, and no reason to start rumors. Really the only solid info about this that is relable is on the apple or AT&T site.
Just a thought: you know how when someone tells you about the greatest movie they ever saw, and you just have to see it too because its just so great? I mean' it really is the best movie ever! then when you finally get around to seeing it, and its only ok, or maybe not even that great. It probally was a good movie, your expectations were just set to high. But think about it.... Its just a phone.
Actually this should be iPhone rumor du last week because I dropped a tip to Engadget Mobile AND Boy Genius Report that my brother who grew up with his friend who is a DoS for AT&T said the drop date IS June 20th. Not June 15th not June 434st. June 20th. And I bet my left nut that when June 20th rolls around you can come back to this post and it WILL HAVE DROPPED on that date. As Rodney Dangerfield says, "I get no respect, no respect at all" :)
