So, the worst-kept secret is out: iPhone 3G, July 11th, $199 with a two-year contract. Who's getting one?

At that price, I think I will. When the iPhone first came out, I decided to wait because I figured they'd eventually drop subsidize the price for people willing to sign a contract, and I also had some concerns about slow data speeds. Both of these issues will be resolved with the 3G version, and the new GPS feature is a nice bonus.

Hmmm... I might

how many GBs?

I want one.....

I have the 'old' 8GB.....bought it in Bangkok. Apple's finally introducing the iPhone (3G) here in the Netherlands, now I am not gonna be cool anymore just having the 'old' one.....better get my ass back to Bangkok to buy me a new one!
I don't want to buy one being forced to switch providers.....that's the shit-deal of iPhone/Apple, luckily it is easy to avoid!

Ha! Thought of you right away Mac man. I'm waiting till AT&T isnt the only holder.

I'm still loving my original one.

Not enough memory.

8GB for $199, and 16GB for $299. Also, with the 16GB model, you have a choice of black or white.

Unless you leave the country, or are willing to take your chances with an unlocked iPhone, you'll be waiting a long time. AT&T has an exclusive deal with Apple for the U.S. market that runs through 2012.

The Michael Jackson phone?

matt said:

Matt, explain to me the benefits of an unlocked phone. I've never quite understood.

I wonder if their doing pre-orders...going to dig...

How much is the rate plan per month?

the unlocked iPhone enables you to use it with any simcard/provider, without have to start on a new contract. The iPhones will keep its typycal iPhone-features, the only thing you will have to keep in mind is that you will have to unlock it everytime after you have done a Firmware-update through iTunes. This update will automatically re-lock your iPhone, but thanks to the geeks in the online iPhone-communities you can download software for free after each update to unlock your iPhone!

The Firmware-updates maybe come once every 3 months or so.

dude, they're plain blue Chuck Taylor's.....

abierman said:

Aren't we getting a bit defensive.


Denim. shoes.

abierman said:

So one phone/multiple service providers. I could use ATT as my U.S. carrier; Rogers Mobility as my Canadian carrier, eh? That's cool, I guess.

But I'll still have to use two different phone numbers... that can't be simultaneously accessible, right?

Lammastide said:

But the iPhone has room for 1 SIM-card only, if that is what you're asking!

I think it's $30/month for data and $40/month for voice, so the whole deal runs you $70/month.

Which is why only Dad is getting the iPhone.
