schmrom Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 As I heard form my mobile phone provider ONE which is a daughter of Orange in Austria, that the iPhone will come very soon I was jumping higher than ever before. The iPhone will be my new phone for sure. Nokia can't do it anymore... Link to comment
banks Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Guess I'll be rocking an iPhone and Blackberry Thunder pretty soon. Link to comment
schmrom Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Oh man look at this: http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/360/index_white.htmlThe iPhone in white... AMAZING!! Link to comment
Mac Intosh Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think I'm still going to go with the black since the front it black it just looks better. Link to comment
schmrom Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Okay, after i watched the Keynote, the white one is only 32GB and I only have the money for the 8GB model. 11th July, I can't wait Link to comment
Levi- The perfectionist Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I think I'm still going to go with the black since the front it black it just looks better.Im actually gonna go for the white.I just think its different... and it's going to match my tango iPod speaker dock nicely.Not sure if I'm a fan of the glossy plastic iPod back though... looks a little tacky compared to previous metal. But then again, white glossy plastic has always looked good on imacs etc... so I think itll look good in real life.If not then i'll skin it.I like the silver apple logo. thats nice. Link to comment
Slewed Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i'm not really going to be a fan of the ipod touch and iphone until they have more than 32GB memory. My library is 25GB (just music), so there would be no space for videos, files and pictures if i went for the 32GB one.That 2Mpixel camera doesn't really put me onto the idea either, i'll stick with ipod + phone rather than an iPhone right now. Can the iphone double as an e-book reader btw? Link to comment

Mac Intosh Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I still need to see them in person. Link to comment
swimmingrocks Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i can't wait till december because my verizon plan is over!!! 3G iPhone here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
xfifteen Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Darn it! iPhone will only come to Belgium a bit later this year and not like it's said on WWDC and on the site I bet iPhone fans will go to any neighbouring country, which isn't that far lol Link to comment
Mac Intosh Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 i can't wait till december because my verizon plan is over!!! 3G iPhone here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yea I'm really lucky my T-Mobile 2 year agreement finally ends at the end of this month so I have some time to get it... I'm going to the release but I know there will be so many people. I think I'll still be able to get a decent spot in line... I came late for Leopard like 2 hours before it started and was like 5th in line. The first 20 could go in and the rest waiting for it to clear up. So I can't imagine waiting too too long for the iPhone, where I live. Plus there is three AT&T stores and two Apple Stores so... Link to comment
alme Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 well It's beautiful but... Jobs said that the price for a 8 Gb is 199$ ,200 less... Guess what...AT&T has increased to +10$/month for 2 years contract. So the real price is : 10$ x 24 months = 240 $ ...so you are paying more. Plus,U cannt buy it online and ull have to go and activate it in AT&T store.The old activation will not work. I hope this is only for USA and not Europe ,otherwise I wont be able to buy an unlocked iPhone since my country is not within the 70-s. I guess I'll just stay with the old one Link to comment

I really want an 3G iPhone soo bad so hopefully i will get one before december. I heard that you can only buy the iPhone now at the apple store only and you have to get a contract in the specific apple store. (probably for people who unlocked their phones). I only live near one apple store and the ATT stores near us suck. Link to comment
painkilleryusuf Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Dude.. i m taking this as soon as it is out in kuwait... Is better + CHEAPP!!!!//editHaven't used the iPhone before. And dont have one yet. Just saw it alot of times but havent really tried it. I hear you cannot transfer files from one bluetooth phone to the iphone and vice versa? is it true? Link to comment
metallicamaster3 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Huge improvements IMO. Link to comment
rjohnstone Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Where's the "yawn" smiley...The only new features are 3G and GPS... the rest of the new software will be on the 2.0 firmware for the EDGE iPhone, so I see no reason to upgrade.OK... a slimmer case with a plastic back and it now comes in white. No copy and paste, no mobile Flash and now the phone has a true subsidy lock in the US. >.< Link to comment
iGo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 no mobile FlashIt's a software, can come down any point of time. I agree it's no huge improvement over first one, but an improvement nevertheless. .... and frankly, Levi. What the F**K do you care about subsidy lock? You're getting yours in Oz, aren't you?... crybaby. I know I'll be buying mine here in India, but only when 32 gig comes. Cause my iPod ain't dead yet, and that little bugger doesn't seem like going to die for another year at least. Link to comment
tehnick Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Does this $199 iPhone 3G mean the end of the iPod Touch?Or will those be getting price cuts? Link to comment
iGo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 end of iPod touch?? Naaah.Price cuts?... well sorta, you got price cut for new software update. From $20 to $9.95. Ting !! Link to comment
