Cafe IPhone

How long have we had Apple Stores now? 5-6 years? The state of Maine just received there first Apple Store. Saturday September 13 Apple open it's door in South Portland Maine. Isn't it odd that the opening took so long. Mainers seem to be technology oriented along the coast at least. RT 95 is a main artery for drivers heading to Canada and there are tons of private school and colleges. Portland is only a hour or so from Boston and some people even commute to Boston for work. When people think of Maine they think trees and mills, but is really a modern state.

According to the Apple website the store will have the iPhone available, but when we called we were told they didnt have any 3g iPhone and waiting for more inventory. It's hard to believe they didn't have 3g Phones. After all it is a grand opening. I / we have been building this site since the inception of iPhone and seen some funny actions on the part of Apple & AT&T. Now when a user wants a iPhone they need to go to the store and they are opening the iPhone Box and performing some setup protocols. In the past anyone could go into AT&T and buy as many Iphones as they could carry, then bring them home and do the setup and downloads at home. Now (in my area) the AT&T store doesn't even answer the phone. As a example I wanted to buy 6 to 10 iPhones to resell on eBay. I went to my local AT&T Store and was unable to. They wouldn't let me take the phone sealed. This seams to be because users need to upgrade to the 3G Network. My point being the South Portland Main Store could have just been protecting the iPhone inventory.

If your in the area you can find the state of Maine's first Apple Store in The Maine Mall, 364 Maine Mall Rd. South Portland, ME 04106
