Check out Matt Hickey’s interview with Glenn Lurie, President of National Distribution for AT&T at CrunchGear. Here’s a snippet.
Steve and his friends had a great presentation where we saw new apps for a bevy of developers, most of them pretty good looking.
But the star of the show was the new iPhone 3G, a slimmer, faster version of the handset we all know an love. I talked to Glenn Lurie from AT&T Mobility earlier to clear up a few lingering questions. Sadly, most of what he told me were qualified “no comments”, but we were able to glean a couple nifty tidbits about AT&T’s involvement with the new phone.
Many were wondering if the lower price would mean a subsidy from AT&T. The new contract prices seem to indicate that it does, though Lurie couldn’t go on the record about that. One fear some had was that Apple would have to pull the phone from the Apple store, selling exclusively through AT&T retail outlets. This won’t be the case. The iPhone 3G will continue to be sold through AT&T and Apple both, good news for many.





Why do people keep referring to this as thinner? The new version is 12.3mm and the old is 11.6mm, so the new 3g is 6% thicker.

Typo in the headline ‘distrubition’
Don’t you mean “Natoinal Distrubition”? Geez, guys.
Just heard that it’s coming to Canada on July 11th. I guess the Can $ is too tempting ;-).
Meanwhile we’ll work with our own version ( pssst… did you hear about the Grow Smart phone? first pics here… http://tinyurl.com/5535fj )
While Apple is making a big splash about the iPhone 3G, this is really their new low end phone. Watch out for the new iPhone Pro to arrive somewhere between October and January (MacWorld SF).
