How much penguin porn do you need to store? That's plenty!

I'll be buying it soon. But I'm gonna wait a couple of months after the first release to let them get the bugs out. I wouldn't wait if I didn't already have one. But 50% of the time I surf by WIFI and 3G isn't gonna speed that up.

I had hoped for more stuff that just GPS and 3G. But that itself is enough to warrant another $299 for a new phone.

Now that the SDK is out, I'm waiting for someone to come up with copy/paste functionality. That is the #1 thing on my list besides 3G.

Announced =/= Released

I'm with CO - I'm going to wait a month or two so they can work out the bugs. The it'll be a Friends of iPhone free-for-all.

HAHA!!! You fairies will love this article:

Think that new $199 iPhone is going to save you money over the older $399 model? Guess again.

AT&T is raising its minimum monthly service subscription for the new iPhone from $60 to $70 per month, according to the Associated Press.
That's an extra $240 over the lifetime of the two-year contract ? more than the $200 initial savings on the handheld's retail price.

And all you "unlockers" probably won't be able to buy an iPhone directly from Apple isn't going to sell them online any more. It's not taking pre-orders on its Web site, as it has for every other device it unveils before they're ready to ship.

Instead, you're instructed to go to a brick-and-mortar Apple Store ? where dollars to doughnuts you'll be forced to sign your name on a two-year AT&T service contract, just as you would in an AT&T retail store

In a way, that $200 you save on the new iPhone is really a loan you'll be paying back to AT&T at 10 percent yearly interest.

Bugs what bugs? The phone you have now will have the same software as the 3G. I got mine on the first day and there's not a thing wrong with it. Also the FCC requires them to test the sh!t out of them before they get a license anyway. The idea of getting the bugs out is ridiculous.

Wait because there has to be a better one coming out soon. A lot of people are not satisfied. This phone is to increase the market share, but soon they will actually make something that's a substantial improvement.

Hahaha! This might just be the first documented case of iPhone enragement!

Bull. There were bugs. That's mostly what the first two updates fixed. One example was the sudden crashing of safari when surfing.

Never happened to me. You probably got one of those special ones.

I did have one strange problem, strange because of the fix. After having the headphones in on one occasion I could not get the phone to work in standard phone mode, i.e hold to ear hear voice in spkr. and talk. It onl worked with headphones or in spkr phone mode. I went to the mac store told them what was happening and the guy took a set of headphones and plugged them in and out 5 times. Everything worked again, I looked at the guy and said "of course" and left.

Oh by the way that was a software problem you mentioned. Your going to get those wether you wait or not.

Well going through 4 rounds of the playoffs all the way to game 6 of the stanley cup takes up a lot of memory. ...

Oh I forgot you wouldn't know what that's like!

I can download the games off of itunes already if I want and watch them over and over.

I would recommend games 4 & 6 based on the results and game 5 as a sort of 2 for 1 deal.

I can't figure out why people would buy such a mamby pamby phone. If you drop it in a puddle or on the grocery store floor. POOF!! It's busted.

Now this is a phone! This is a hummer site, don't we encourage tough stuff?

If you want tough as nails protection for the Iphone - take a look at this.
http://www.otterbox.com/iphone-cases/iphone-armor-case/

I have one - I use it on my boat - it is definately waterproof - I dropped it in my pool one day - while on a call - and it did not leak and I did not drop the call.
It is a bit big - it is heavy but it is perfect for me - I am in Angola at the moment and the dust is a killer - nothing gets into this case though.

You do have to use a bluetooth headset - I use the Jawbone.

Everything is fully functional - the only things that you cant do when it is in the case is access the silence switch on the side and charge / sync. It is easy to get in and out of the case - just two flip latches - and you can use regular headphones with it - the inside of the case has a headphone jack that slides into the connector on the phone with a regular connector (waterproof) on the outside.

The touch screen works well - you do get a slight oil on water look if the membrane sticks to the screen - but it does not affect the way it works - it just looks a bit funky - but I didnt buy the thing for the looks - it has saved my phone several times.

You and I need something that will prevent them from being left behind at IHOP.
