Just saw it. June 29th it is. Gotta love Apple. June means June 29th and summer means the last day of summer, etc.

Apple and AT&T Wireless used a trio of television advertisements on Sunday to announce that iPhone will be available beginning on Friday, June 29th.

The ads were first spotted on CBS network television at around 7:00 p.m. eastern time on Sunday. Each demonstrates a few of the handset's functions, ending with an Apple logo and the caption, "Coming June 29th."

AppleInsider recently cited sources in saying that Apple planned to launch the inaugural Apple handset on Friday, June 29th.

All three ads -- "Never Been an iPod," "Calamari," and "How To" -- have since been posted to Apple's website:

Never Been an iPod

Calamari

How To

A whole lot of people at everythingiphone.com are pretty sure they saw the same commercial too. I'm just waiting for someone to put it online!

Edit: HEYHEY Waiiiit! They do have them online!

Pretty much as I figured. On a Friday, at the end of the month.

Chaos will ensue at ATT and Apple stores nationwide that weekend. Should be fun to watch.

Well, that would seem to match what Steve said...

DAMMIT, it specifically says 2 year contract required....I've had AT&T for a year now and dont want to wait another to buy one. If they do sell a go phone version of it however, maybe I could buy one of those and just put my SIM into it..?

I could be wrong, but I hear that ATT/Cingular lets you upgrade your phone 18 months into a 2-year contract... in other words, you get your new phone at the upgrade price up to 6 months early.

If so, you may be eligible to upgrade to the iPhone six months from now, instead of a year (of course, they'll ask you to renew for two years at the time). Still a long time to wait, I know.

I think it's annoying how in the Calamari ad it seems to be hard/slow to type on the screen. It looks like that was done so that each letter would match up to the music notes, which isn't necessary if you ask me. And the guy kind of looks awkward holding it because he's a bit shaky...\

VERY good ads. They really show off how easy the iPhone makes everything, and they even act as a sort of mini-tutorial too. Watch the commercials, and you're more than halfway to understanding how to use the iPhone.

Apple's marketing team is definitely firing on all cylinders.
