my only concern is att month plans look expensive in comparison to sprint.
Honestly, who cares--I just want it to be faster.
Design looks way better than old style. Screen is insane...960x640
And, some decent service for the phone part would be cool.
16/32 still???
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!
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.
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.
Safari 5 has dropeth

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.
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.
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.
I just dont want to spend ANY time up in the Apple Clurbs waiting on line and shit.
At this point, AT&T is pretty much the only thing keeping me from getting an iPhone. For all the things Verizon does to piss me off, I'm only about 10% as dissatisfied as I was when I switched from AT&T/Cingular. So for now, all I can do is cast jealous glances over my CrackBerry at the iPhone users and their blissful user interface experience.
Well to put it in some sort of perspective???Steve Jobs said Apple had been selling an iPad every 3 seconds since it was launched. They cost a minimum of $500 I think.
AT&T servies is the only thing that scares me away, but other than that can anyone tell me why I SHOULDN'T get an iPhone G4 instead of a BlackBerry Tour?

If you already had one, you'll get grandfathered in, but all new plans (i.e. iPhone 4, iPad, etc) now have data caps.
Interesting, but I'm not sure what tier I'd fall into. Granted, if I had an iphone I'd be using a lot more web time than I do on bberry, but for the most part, I can't imagine that I'd ever go over 2 gigs -- that seems sort of crazy. And if that's the case, it's $5.00 cheaper than it has been.
it seems pretty easy to stay under 2 gigs, and i'm a relatively heavy web user on the iphone

As far as AT&T's new plans with no unlimited data go, I would be very afraid of that. Trust that you can easily go through 2GB; especially with whatever new apps are coming out. Just upgrading the camera = more data usage.
Problem is if you do go over 2 gig they charge you $10, so you end up paying $5 more if you do go over.
co-sign. Some folks on another site were posting their usages, and most were up in the 1-1.8 gig range, and one guy was consistently over 2 gigs.
Two different questions there, no?
In any case, tethering is supposed to be an add'l $20/month. Ouch. And supposedly, you can't tether an iPad to an iPhone (unless you jailbreak the latter).
Iphone has had - I thought - free wifi hotspot availability at Starbucks but not universal AT&T hotspot access.
