to be precise, it's "quando, quando, quando" with the Q. :)

Bye from Italy ;)

I think some Schadenfreude is appropriate right here.

Wouldn't it be funny if Apple was like, "sorry, it was fun while it lasted, but we're done with making phones."

@kevman90:

Sorry to say, but the singer was Italian, and the song says "quando, quando, quando".

bye from Spain.

@itchytooth:

Please, don´t say that. I´ve been waiting for the 3G iPhone for a long long time, and that cheat from Apple wouldn´t be funny at all. Sheiße! I´m shivering with the only possibility of it.

I was in the Regent Street Apple store on Friday. The guy in front of me in the queue bought 3 iPhones. The guy in front of him bought 5.

:-O

(I bought a miniDVI-DVI adapter :-)

Oh and it's quando. With a Q.

Sleeper_Service

They're not out of stock, they're just not selling it on-line anymore. You can still get one from retail outlets.

O2 and CPW kind of got it in the ass when they found out that the iPhone wasn't going to be hugely popular in the UK at the price and tarrifs they were offering hence the fire sale on the 8GB models and why they haven't ordered new stock for a while.

@Sleeper_Service: In Spanish, it's with a C.

Kaiser-Machead

I would imagine the reason they ran out was becuase they dropped the price and they all ended up on ebay.

If you look at ebay.co.uk at the moment then the "market" is flooded with them.

@marramgrass: I run out of those adapters like nobody's business. They just seem to walk off, you know?

loquaciousmusic

@Kaiser-Machead:

"Quando Quando Quando" is an Italian pop song though so it's with a Q.

Englelbert Humperdink can't be wrong.

Sleeper_Service

Can't we stop all this fighting and agree to spell it "Kwando"?

@kevman90: I reckon Addy is referring to the 60s song "Quando, Quando, Quando", which is originally Italian.

That said, I wonder if his Steveness is pissed off that the cellphone industry doesn't play the same game he always does. Sure, he'll get his fanatical screams at the press conference, but I bet it won't feel the same.

@Sleeper_Service:

Reading Banks, I see.

Do we have firm and confirmed prices on iPhone 3G when it hits the US? I want one and will pass my current iPhone to my GF.

Any news?

Lester56

@Sleeper_Service: I did just say it's with a C in Spanish. Derrrrrrrrrr

Kaiser-Machead

@Bitstuff:

Indeed.

Anyway that's three posts in row so enough.

On topic the site's been changed to show the 16GB is in stock.

Carry on.

Sleeper_Service

@Galley:

No. You can take my life but you'll never take my Quando!

Sleeper_Service

@Kaiser-Machead:

And I corrected you because the phrase "Quando Quando Quando" refers to a specific song.

Written in Italian.

Derrrrrr indeed.

Can somebody explain why Jobsy had to announce the first iPhone 6 months ahead of time to avoid disclosing it in FCC filings (at least thats what they told us), but this time around everyone is epxecting it to be announced and available next month?

What has changed? I mean there's no way Apple files a public document without someone gleaning each and every detail. If they are going to sell iPhone II in June, why haven't we known all the details for months?

ijonathan

wait a second, cuando means when ?
shit, so thats why I'm doing so shitty in spanish

mferrari

I can't wait. I promised my fiance when a new version of the iPhone came out she could have my old one and I would upgrade. After about a year of hard use my battery is finally showing signs of age so now would be the perfect time.
