Internal iPhone Q&A Leaked

It’s been a while since we had any great iPhone news (the announcement a few days ago that it would be marketed to business professionals hardly raised a hair on my arm). Today, however, Engadget Mobile posted an internal iPhone Q&A document that was leaked from a Cingular new AT&T employee.

While there isn’t really anything that will make you lose sleep in anticipation or excitement, there are a few tidbits that will somewhat quench the thirst of iPhone fanatics like myself. Here are a few items from the leaked document that are worth mentioning:

• iPhone will have access to Cingular’s MyAccount via the device as well as via iTunes.
• No pre-orders
• Possible iPhone specific service plans
• No subsidies

Other details such as contracts and rate plans will be available closer to launch — which is now less than two months away!

I welcome the ability to access MyAccount from the iPhone directly, that will make managing your account rather easy (for me with 3 lines and family plan that can become cumbersome). The two that really bum me out are the lack of subsidies and no pre-orders. This thing is pretty expensive considering I will probably be needing three of them, not to mention very hard to get out of the gate. Hopefully some more favorable details on these two aspects will emerge closer to launch.
