Fake. Just look at the specs for the Pearl 8100, they’re wrong!

So the rumor still stands that the new iPhone will drop in the middle of July??? Only reason I ask is because Gen 1 iPhone users have contracts coming up on June 29th if they got it on day 1….Are they banking on them going month to month with Ma Bell until the new one comes out? June 29-July 17th is a few weeks, so they have to finish out at least one more month of service.

Wow, 4GB for $99, well, that’s a very cheap price tag. I think it’ll do good

So what I see with Print ad 4GB Fido it’s just 850/1900/2100 Mhz as for users of Asia pacific & Europe not so good as Carriers are building 900Mhz Regional networks so New iPhone due nxt month 16/32GB Hope it’s 850/900/2100 Mhz as 900Mhz is future for carriers in bigger landscaped countries.

Hehe. I`d rather stick with Google Beta`s than the Control Freaks @ Apple. But thanks.

@Ray

Andriod is far from being prime time. Have fun being stuck with every thing google.

@FAIL!!!!

I’ll agree that webOS does look interesting. But will it get the same attention and development as the iPhone has? Only time will tell. But I would take it over Andriod and I’ve at least used Andriod. lol

IMHO

WebOS >>> iPhone3.0

the apple fanboys might not like the hardware on the pre but there is no denying that the OS is nothing short of amazing.

I will ditch my iPhone 8GB 3G for the Android-phone (DSTL1, hopefully.) There are so many, many small annoyances about the iPhone, that I started hating it. Even though it has tons of great stuff. Lacking folders in Photo, lacking ability to lock parts of the phone, all functions are based within one program only, etc. etc. etc…

Come August, and I will give away my iPhone and get a real phone… With a real OS, Android.

Ok,Ok…I am loving this! I hope more companies bring out better phones and plans! This way Apple is kept on their toes! The iPhone is great phone but it could be a whole lot better!!! They are playing it smart but a lot of companies are going to be trying to give them a run for their money! Thank GOD!!! Apple needs the competition to keep them honest and leading the market in smart phones! This reminds me of Honda and how they would do as little as possible to sell their cars. (Because they knew they had a great product and everyone was buying them!) Until Jetta started throwing everything you could want into a cars at a great price! All of a sudden Honda followed suite! I think Apple hasn’t had enough competition to keep them on their toes! I am sure that Blackberry will work on catching up!I still plan on sticking with the iPhone for now! I just pray that Verizon gets them soon! AT&T has really been getting bad! I Started with Cingular and left them for AT&T… and I was much happier! Then they merged and it has been all down hill! (I know what I am talking about…I have been with them 2000… I want to say.) Pray that they step it up as well!

What’s with the Pre hate? Only a blind Apple fanboy would deny that the Pre’s webOS is pretty interesting.

There’s definitely more than enough room for everyone.

iPhone & Pre
Different markets. Next Gen Pre might compete with better hardware, but for now its all about usability and the iPhone, as good as it is in several areas, is a mix mash of garbage when it comes to interoperability with other companies.

The iPhone is made to work with there stuff and only there stuff. Thats how Apple rolls. They ALLOW others to use THEIR stuff when it suits them and only within their RULES.

A 4gb iPhone just fills another gap. When the new companies in Canada come online at the end of the year, you will see those 3 yr contracts disappear and the real competition will begin as everyone scrambles to compete.

I fully expect 2010 to be a massively revamped iPhone UI that is more tightly integrated like the Pre while the Pre will get the hardware of the iPhone+. Both will get better plans and faster networks in Canada. Read as fair plans with max 2 yr contracts.

By the end of 2010, it wouldn’t surprise me to consider either an iPhone or Pre as excellent choices and the Symbian OS phones as the last resort. BlackBerry will still be lost and putting out deadend phone revisions and screwing up on updates but still have business market for now.

Windows will be trying to gain ground and implementing everything it sees in the iPhone and Pre that they were successful with as they will be the odd man out. Heck, they could even buy Palm, although I’d rather they merged with RIM.

Doesn’t sound right. Why trade the customer down? There’s no price resistance, nobody can come close to repicating the user experience – they would be much better off making a cdma and they would sell an additional 5mm per year on verizon alone. Keep the price where it is and keep adding value.

here is my Guess and i have the feeling most likely thats how the prices gonna be.

4GB == $99

8GB == $199(new model)

8GB == $150(previews Model)

16GB == $270

32GB == $329

I have a strong feeling the prices are going to be very close to that chart

I kid you not. Every deaf and hard of hearing person in America will buy this solely for the video conferencing feature to see each other signing. Do you all know that there are an estimated 32 million people in America with hearing loss. This equals mega bucks for Apple and AT

Wow who in the heck would get the SE Z780i over the Nokia E55 for THREE times the price??

4GB should be free with 2 year contract, and 32GB $299 with 2 year contract.

if apple raises prices i hope the pre survives for 2 more years to come out with a real iphone killer. otherwise MS seems to finally coming out with good ideas

If they offer video calling via iChat, on a 3G phone, you can bet they’ll ALSO offer regular 3G video calling (ie: via the telco’s 3G video calling service withOUT using iChat)

Given that that’s not mentioned, I doubt the slides entirely.
