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.

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.

This is not an increase. Its the standard (existing) rate for 3G service, and apparently the higher cost of 3G service is consistent throughout the telcoms

God forbid that ATT who is subsidizing the price of the iphone so you can have it for 50% or less than it is actually worth get a return on their investment. God forbid that ATT the company that agreed to work with apple to bring the iphone to market, and give them the freedom to make it such a groundbreaking phone, be rewarded for the risk they took. Why is it that everyone that reaps the rewards of capitalism starts whining when capitalism doesn't suit them. Apple & ATT built a better phone to get customers away from the competitors, not to help them. PS you can still get around this snafu if you want to unlock it its just going to cost you more than if you got the contract with Att.

Just like any other phone you might get anywhere else. DUH Oh yeah its called a service plan and you need it to or else all your holding is an expensive paperweight
Now that Apple has let outside developers design software for the phone it will be one of the most amazing breakthrough devices to come out in a long time. Some better chips and more memory and soon the iphone will be more capable than you laptop from 3 yrs ago.

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.
