Is there a cultural aspect I'm missing here? Why such a poor roll out? What's the point of it being done this way? This is beyond stupid. Either s**t or get off the pot already. Lots of chain jerking going on. How exactly does this make business sense (the type of roll out)? It's like being "half pregnant"....no such thing! The only way it makes sense to me is that the iPhone 5S is selling very well in China, and every day china mobile regional managers are seeing a large amount of their most valuable subscribers defecting to rival carriers to get the 5S. So they are trying to keep those customers from defecting by leaking the news of the iPhone availability early. If this was the case it would make sense why call centre customer service representatives were also able to tell someone about it when the WSJ called - the regional managers have told their staff to retain customers enquiring about the iPhone, even if it means leaking the news early and doing unofficial preorders already. Hmmm, a private launch before the main launch. In a way, makes sense.

If you go to CM's main website, you can get a sense of just how big and "decentralized" CM is. They DO have 6-7x Verizon's subs, after all.

5-point range is tough to draw any conclusions from IMHO.

House-started budget plan compromise "everyone seems to hate" easily passes House. C-SPAN has current vote count over 300 yeas. I'm no expert, but hard to see the Senate not passing this at this point. What it means for futures/Friday, who knows. But hey, at least no contribution to market uncertainty.

Agree with others
This isn't a roll out it's just a few small leaks in a giant ocean of a company
We are seeing more leaks because the day is getting closer.
Next week is some big mobile convention in china at which the head of china mobile is speaking so that seems like the logical day
Somebody sneak onto the apple corp jet and put a gps tracker with an automatic alert to send a text to this board when it leaves US air space headed for Asia and we can all buy a weekly naked call. Ill chip in a few bucks
Who's with me?
Eric in Austin
P.s. To the NSA minion monitoring this board. I'm just kidding

And also, Christmas music. That makes me very whiny as well. And stabby.

I hope you weren't misunderstanding me there Mercel, because that post was just a bit of fair comment.
Don't make me whine about the whining about the posts that are amused by the posts that whine about the whining.
;D ;D ;D (I dare anyone to say that just twice really fast.)
