$teve Jobs just announced the new iPhone, coming out next month.
3G network, data transfer almost 3x faster than current iPhone
36% faster than other 3G phones such as Treo 750
Built-in GPS
Main upgrade: new lower pricing
8 gig: $199 (was $399)
16 gig: $299 (was $499)
I'll be getting one, I have had my old (Ha) iPhone for a while and love it. Are they going to let us trade in?
zomg.
I hope the early adopters enjoyed subsidizing Apple's R&D...
Highly doubtful, but you will be able to impress your friends by telling them you own a $400 paperweight.Quote:

I won't be getting one--too gimicky. I have a new Blackberry 8830 World Phone.
I left AT&T for Verizon last month after getting tired of waiting for AT&T to roll out 3G on Long Island...be aware that except for pockets in Nassau and the Rt 110 corridor, MOST of Long Island is still 2.5G...which means S L O W regardless of phone.
Verizon also has better phone quality, better audio and no dropped calls so far.....plus their customer service is MUCH better.
For those who think the new Iphone will be a bargain, however, be aware that the minimum service plan will be $10 higher than before, meaning you save $200 on the phone but pay $240 more over the term of the contract.
Just my 2 cents
Indeed. And even if you live in an area without 3G service, AT&T will force you to sign a 3G contract. That said, I believe the data plans are still slightly cheaper than Verizon.Quote:

Yea, after reading more my mind is changing.
