Hype - and lot sof it. But all that hype did was move 146,000 people to sign up for the iPhone. And that fact (included in AT&T's 2Q07 financial report) tanked Apple stock.

Sales were only up 2%, which means all their rate hikes (like in NY & NJ and excess recovery fees in FL have added to its cash horde).
