Hey
Apple…

You release a mediocre upgrade, and price it where it should be, and everyone has a freaking COW.

In three months they will upgrade it with cut/paste and everyone will “Ooooh and Aaaaah” as if Apple had invented something new.

In three more months they will upgrade another model with video capabilities and fans will freak out.

Finally, the iphone will approach what a FREE phone can do with all other manufacturers.

Why do APPLE fans give Apple so much credit for selling them short?
The Nokia N95 rocks the SOCKS off the iphone as far as capability, but it’s not an Apple, so people ignore it, and because of it, it’s still $600.

I do admit, that the way the iphone responds, and does what it does, is pretty amazing, but come on… the features they are milking are so basic, that it’s pathetic that people give them so much credit for their smooth marketing.

It just goes to show you. People don’t buy products because they are useful. They buy them because they are sexy and sleek and they make them feel cool. Well, not that the entire world will be able to afford iphones… there goes the cool factor. I guess those who paid $500 for theirs a year ago are the original “cool” ones.

Oh, and what about the World Trade Center Towers. Do you guys still believe that anybody but our own government blew those up… Talk to anyone who’s seen a tall bldg demo’d No building falls into itself like that without a LOT of planted explosives!

We are but mere puppets!

pretty hard to unlock considering the update and also the fact the only way to get one is at the at&t store and have it activated at the register not the same as 2g model where you can go in buy and leave.

at&t and apple announced iphones must be purchased with a contract in the U.S. only some upgrade customers will be eligible there will be no noncommitment for iphone 3g activation is done at Point of sale only

waddayou talking about, no Bluetooth? Yes there is, just as there was in the older iphones! Bluetooth does not support STEREO headphones (on the olod, unclear on the new), and doesn’t support tethering but otherwise works fine!

I can’t see how it will compete with any Blackberry for heavy email users…the touch typing is impossible. Any experienced BB typer will never switch…and no Bluetooth? Another business user killer. On the other hand, I wish I did not have a job and could just enjoy the iPhone…but I can’t.

Summary time?

1. Data plan for the iPhone 3G $30USD
2. Camera is 2mp.
3. No Video Capture
4. (Still) No MMS.
5. If you’re on an existing 2yr plan, you will have to re-sign to a new 2yr.
6. No mention if it’s now eligible for FAN (Corporate discounts) Although it may just happen.
7. Yes, there is still Wifi (B&G).
8. No FM radio.
9. Back needs to plastic in order for the antenna to get better reception.

I want one.

It’s not really that cheap because you’re playin 240 dollars more because they raised the data plan from 20 to 30.

I dont quite understand. The 199 USD is with a new 2 year contract.

How much is the phone without a contract? Same as before I guess? 399?

Can you even buy one without a contract?

knowing apple, im sure they can do it, theyll probably release a 32gb model for about 400 in a few months after all the hype…

A2DP?

Jordan Brown — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 01:21:48 +0000

I was kind of hoping for a 32gb model, but really I know 16gb is enough for me personally. Price is pretty much awesome I don’t know who can say no to it.

lets call it what it is: iphone 1.5 (lite)
this is like a free sample crack the dealer gives to get you hooked. minor improvements with a huge price cut to corner the market with anyone who’s up for an ipod or cell phone upgrade and lets get real fill the 10m quota.

anyone on this site will be disappointed as this was not an actual second generation iphone.

lets all at least agree on one thing: hillary is to blame!

Let the competition begin. Whether one ends up buying the iPhone or not, one thing is clear: it is the standard for the non Blackbery crowd. May the best win!

If you want the “look at me” factor wait for the HTC diamond.

dtest54 – i work for att and we just got the email claiming that data will start at 30.

They need to make an iPhone Pro of sorts that looks different from the base iPhone… Way too many people will have this new one, and the “look at me” factor will be eliminated.

Its going to have video. apple already announced that the old iphone will have video too for a $20 fee for the software.

By: BrianC

BrianC — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:31:20 +0000

Where is the innovation? Apart from some me too features, nothing exciting this time around. Still no external microSD support. Still low resolution despite a large size screen. No front camera for video call. No this and that. A big disappointment.

No MMS! What is this how hard is it? Bold here I come.

I would be concerned about the quality of the materials used on the back of the new iPhone. Plastic is going to scratch easily and look horrible when it gets damaged.
