Unboxing of iPhone 3G
Despite the activation woes around the world -- including the US, UK, and Canada -- for the $1 billion event, Apple's iPhone 3G hit the streets with little surprises (given the early mostly positive reviews, unboxing leaks, and official unboxing videos). Packaged in a smaller box, the new iPhone 3G is nestled in a black recyclable cardboard holder rather than the clear plastic holder used with the original iPhone. The iPhone 3G also comes with Apple's earphones, a very small power adapter (inset into the box so it doesn't move), and USB charging cable, but no dock. Unfortunately, the new iPhone is not compatible with older docks; the new iPhone 3G dock (available at the time of purchase) is sold separately for $29.99. The new iPhone 3G looks different (more slick, if you can imagine), though the size is relatively the same. The improved ergonomics and curve are relatively minor, but overall change the feeling of the device.
I got one…

… and it's really beautiful. A beautiful iBrick. (As here in Germany you can't get it activated via iTunes either.)

Where did that number come from? I didn't realize Apple was spending a billion dollars on this rollout. Man, that's going to cut into the bottom line this quarter.

It is what analysts are estimating Apple will earn on this iPhone launch.

Sorry, the earnings expecting to be a billion does not equate to a billion dollar event. The price cited for an event is the cost of the event, not what you hope to make from the event.

here we go again. Apple fanboys marking down the realistic people. Grow up, Apple is not perfect and we have the right to be pissed about this launch.
