New 3G iPhone

    Maybe the parts they are buying is cheap because of the low dollar value..

    But that doesn't make sense when you look at it the other way...

    Skdr, I really hope you don't visit http://www.macrumors.com

    Worst. Apple. Websites. Ever. Plain and simple. They have absolutely no credibility or sources to their posts, and most of it are spoofs, rumors, or mock-up photoshops some user did as a joke to fool them. They are rarely put a post up that is actually true.

    Back in November 2007 they were going, "New Macbook Pros this tuesday!!". Those continued through December, Jan, Feb, and finally then they released it. It was such a laugh how they just guessed the date over and over.

    I wouldn't rely on them to tell any unreleased secrets about Apple products.

    Anyone got it?

    Damn, I saw some folks with it, and I really, really, really, fucking really want this phone! But 500€ is a lot of money, for me at least, lol.

    Was at the midnight opening, mainly as moral support for my brother although I'd also get one. However, after standing in the queue for about 3 hours a guy from the store walks past people while saying that they're sold out on all 16GB Black ones.

    No chance in hell I'm going for White or 8GB

    Anyway, I can wait (they're sold out everywhere atm), and my brother got his earlier today so its all good~

    God, I always get so jealous when I see people having like 3 of the newest Imac's in their office or have an Iphone or something, but then again, I think why would I need one, I only use my phone for calling and text messaging, why would I buy an expensive Iphone?

    It looks sexy though, and all the awesome features included in the Iphone make me go:

    Quote from Ginger Lord

    Oh what a surprise...Like all Apple products, they fuck over the early adopters.

    Nothing about the iPhone appeals to me, doubt I'll ever pick one up. Used one in an Apple store and found the keyboard a pain to use (don't even have fat hands) and was greasy and smeary as fuck.

    Left my portfolio site on the browser though

    RAAAAWWWWRRRR !!! they may take GL's life but they'll never sell him Apple!!!!

    Seriously, I do want one...but the damn virtual keyboard. I have played with my cousins iPhone a lot and i can't get used to it.

    i love my Treo's calendar (Palm OS) but internet on a Treo = lose. I could just get a Crackberry...

    Living in Belgium, the iPhone is a pretty weird situation. I still have the first generation iPhone which a friend imported to me from the U.S., personally I'm not sure I want to switch to the new ones. The first generation still looks better to me and a lot more sturdy, the 3G version looks a bit too glossy to my taste and even easier to scratch and smudge. Then again I haven't actually seen a 3G up close so I could be totally wrong about this. The black ones are pretty sexy though I admit wholeheartedly. GPS would also be a nice addition to my iPhone...

    The weird thing is that sales tying is illegal here in Belgium. Tying for example is selling a phone along with a contract. So the Belgian iPhones will be sim lock free (which is awesome). Yet on the other hand, stores are actually trying to sell the iPhone with a Mobistar contract. I'm not sure how they're doing it but if I go pick up a new 3G iPhone and they try to hook me up with a sleazy contract I'm going to throw a fit to be sure. Apple partnering up with the Mobistar network was a really stupid move. The only reason being that Mobistar is part of the Orange network in Europe. Funny thing about that partnership is that Mobistar barely has the 3G network up and running while all the other cellphone carriers do support it.

    Now I play the waiting game for the 2.0 jailbreak! Super Monkey Ball get~! ^^

    Actually posting this now from my iPhone, amazing. I had the n73 before so this is a nice step up. On the train currently and I was able to check time tables so easily.

    Nah, I'm not keen either. It depends on what you want, though. I personally look for a phone with a good camera as I take a lot of snaps while out and about (social shots, not art shots — I'd obviously use a real camera for that); as such, the iPhone's relatively outdated camera would make me feel a bit ripped off after spending so much.

    Conversely, I hardly ever need web browsing, music, email, etc from my phone because I'm sat at a computer all day at work anyway. The rare times I do need them, the inferior but still capable equivalent functionality is sufficient. But someone who needs these features all the time would feel ripped off after buying an expensive camera phone.

    It's hard to deny that if you are interested in a smart phone, the iPhone is a serious contender. If you criticise it simply for doing everything including the kitchen sink, obviously you're not a fan of smart phones in general and thus aren't part of the target market.

    I bought a white 16 GB version the day of the release, it's without a doubt the best cellphone i ever had. And I had lot's of them...

    Gah...

    as I said before i have a Treo700p which has AWESOME calendar and HORRIBLE internet. And it's multimedia is a joke compared to an iPhone. I personally like the touchscreen/stylus over the scroll feature of a Blackberry, but i'm at the point now where I need to use email on the phone a lot and stay better connected while mobile. My options are:

    1) Keep Treo and upgrade to data plan on verizon for $45+ per month. Suck my ass verizon!

    2) Get a Crackberry and just be like all my lawyer and banker friends...even my wife now has a Blackberry.

    3) Get an iPhone and be all cool (juh?) but suffer the virtual keyboard, switch to AT&T and actually pay less for minutes + data combined then I am paying for minutes alone.

    Help me Obi-core, you're my only hope.
