iPhone 4

i was considering getting the htc evo but the new iphone makes it look like a boost mobile phone.





my only concern is att month plans look expensive in comparison to sprint.
 
I would definitely cop it, but I got the 3GS last June.





Design looks way better than old style. Screen is insane...960x640

Honestly, who cares--I just want it to be faster.




And, some decent service for the phone part would be cool.
 
The one thing I don't get is, how you gonna upgrade the phone and still have the same storage size???





16/32 still???
 
This is a more minor feature but the fact that you can now annotate e-books might tip me into copping an iPad, especially given how many academic book publishers are coming out with electronic versions.





Meanwhile, the HD video capabilities on the next iPhone should have Flip sweating bullets.





FaceTime would be even more impressive if you could use it with iChat or Skype. Next level!
 
50euros per month incl. unlimited internet traffic on 3G and alot of calls (not 3G i think?). i have the 32GB 3GS. pretty good deals here in sweden for this stuff i think? good thing about living in a country in love with technology.

meh. any effort to improve the storage capacity should just be put into improving battery life, imo. i don't watch movies on there, and if the battery life were better i could use rhapsody for 1/2 of my music needs. especially now that you can download playlists for use offline..





the biggest game-changer IMO w/iphone 4 is the flash & zoom on the camera. that thing's going to take waaaay better pictures, not to mention being able to take them at all in the dark.





i would never use facetime..but it's cool that it's there. multitasking is going to be great, but i guess we already knew about that.





i already have the Stanza app for book reading & PDF viewing.
 
Also, I'm really disappointed that there was no announcement about an itunes cloud service to replace Lala...was really looking forward to that!!

I agree on the battery life aspect. It's just that, consumers are use to new products being upgraded. With apple, could you image them coming out with a new touch, ipad, ipod, etc and not upgrading storage? I could understand going from 3G to 3Gs not putting more storage, but this is a fairly major upgrade with many new capabilities.





The fact is, apple not only pushes this as a media player, but now there is 720p recording capabilities among other things.





Don't get me wrong, there is a bunch of stuff I like with this release. Just was hoping for a 64GB version.
 
Oh, and BTW...





Safari 5 has dropeth

want.


will be leaving behind my years as a satisfied Blackberry user for this fancy little toy, now that it has seemingly caught up on the email level and other administrative things that it lacked in the past, i'm due for an upgrade so i should get a better price too says at&t.


incidentally, i spent an hour on the phone with at&t today and it was a good move. i have been with them for over 10 years.


i explained to them that i was fed up with paying $150 a month on my phone bill and they changed my plan around and now my bill should be around $85 a month, big improvement.
 
Ya - side with you on the bberry spiel. I've been with T-Mobile for about 6 years now. No mas. I'm actually going pay to get out of my contract early to cop one of these -- called T-Mobile to confirm the remaining length on my contract.





Just so tired of blackberry bs and watching everyone do rad shit with their iphones in front of my face. I'll pull up a map when someone else with an iphone has done the same, we'll be looking for the same shit, and my blackberry "curve" will give me that bullshit clock again and again. F*ck a keyboard, I'm not writing novels anyway, and it'll make me start writing shorter emails.





Amped.
 
I've had my 3gs since January and it seems like I'll be ok with the 0s4 upgrade and the 3gs. I'd love a iphone 4, but it seems like the software upgrade will cover most things on the 3gs too, so it's not like I'll be totally left out. I knew this was going to happen when I bought mine. They always come out with something new after I finally break down and get one.
 
I was more excited about the iOS4 upgrade than anything else and still pretty much am. I know once my girl gets an iPhone 4 I'm going to be wanting it. But, I'll deal with my 3GS for awhile.





On a side note, I went on vacation recently by plane and was amazed at how many people of all ages are rocking an iPhone. I'm sure those that live in big cities see this everyday, but maaaan.
