That's about qty 14 of the $600 phone each day in each store. Probably not very likely without some severe discounting in the near future...

That's not going to happen, for a business traveler like me this thing is useless. (and we buy the expensive phones) I can't get Exchange email, or use my corporate address book and calendar. Thanks, I'll pass.

Not to mention the fact that it appears to be seriously flawed. On the today show the host could not even accept a simple incoming call with a team of Apple reps at her side.

Nice product if your 16 and want to store all of your Brittney Spears videos on your phone.
