I have visited 2 Cingular stores in Atlanta, GA pretending that I have not heard about the release date. They say it will be released in June, but it will be released online first. Then, both of the reps said "We have heard bad stuff about the first release. You may want to wait until the 2nd generation one." Also, one of the reps said that Cingular doesn't offer insurance for PDAs. WHAT? How unreal? I am currently a Verizon customer waiting for this release to try Cingular. Anyone willing to wait to get the 2nd generation?

How could they really know anything about the first release. Noone has it yet. The information they got could be from people who tried it hands on HOWEVER the ones currently out didn't have all the features. They probably just wanted you to leave them alone and stop asking questions.
Speaking of Cingular, does anyone know what the standard iPhone cell plan would cost per month (specifically to use the phone and internet capabilities of the iPhone)?
I think, as a general rule of thumb Cingular has great rates and very user friendly/easy to figure out so I hope the cellphone plans with the upcoming iPhone are just as easy...
Let me know if anyone has their ear to the ground about this, thanks!

As of now, I don't think there has been any official mention on rates for the iPhone. I am sure they will announce it soon, though, so I will keep watch for it and post it here if I find anything on it.
Sorry I'm not of much help at this point.
I've seen this type of non-sales response from salespeople who are not fans of Apple.
Could that really be possible? Would Cingular really allow the phone to be sold without a penny going to them?
Cingular doesn't have many rocket scientists typing in those activations. Take it from someone that worked there; most of their employees don't come to work until last bell rings.
If you get a hold of a manager or district manager, they can actually tell you some things about the cellular industry.

I think you are going to get better answers just my reading online. Those people who work in the stores are at the bottom of the food chain and don't know anything.
I will say though, that my experiences with employees at Apple retail stores has been quite good and their employees seem to know what's going on with the products and other useful info...
If you go to the Apple stores, they know a lot more about it.
Most people that work in the cingular stores don't know anything at all about it, unless they want one themselves.
This is true. I called a local Cingular store recently, and they literally started screaming complaints about how it doesn't have 3G and how it will break so easily at me. My ear still hurts!If you go to the Apple stores, they know a lot more about it.

I then called Apple and they calmly told me exactly what I already knew. I gave it a shot, but it looks like we will have to wait until WWDC
