The world’s favorite media player + phone is going to be available June 11, according the CNET News. It was as simple as CNET calling Cingular’s customer service (800-947-5096) where a helpful sales manager spilled the beans. A June 11 iPhone release makes sense for CNET, this being the day WWDC07’s (Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference) begins. Gizmodo, however, counters back skeptically that Apple only “releases stuff Tuesday.” My take on the matter? That sales manager at Cingular isn’t going to risk his job by giving out unconfirmed information, especially iPhone release dates. Not unless that information is official.

The iPhone is a multimedia device that combines a cellular phone, MP3 player, media player and a portable internet device. It also come with a 2MP camera and is exclusively available in the U.S. at Cingular
