[pandamonium]

Right now all over the world apple stores are shut down. iphone 2 is going to make an appearance today at WWDC in cali. we are all just waiting for the announcement.

lets talk, who's going to get it.


so far rumors are:

-its going to have a major price cut from the first iphones.
-thicker body
-rounder edges
-extra colors (red, white and black)
-front facing camera for conference calls (rumor doesnt look to be true)
-an actual working GPS system, hopefully its free, most-likely not.



i just hope its cheap and it comes in red.

I heard that you have to renew your contract to get the new iPhone for the discounted price. I don't know whether you can buy the phone WITHOUT renewing your contract, as long as you are still on AT&T.

I think Apple + AT&T are cracking down on iPhones being unlocked -- I mean, hell, my boyfriend's using his iPhone on T-Mobile! Anyways, what's happening is that by forcing 3G iPhone purchasers to renew or sign up for a new contract. :[

Q: But what's this I hear about the plans being more expensive?
A: It's true that Apple and AT&T are changing the structure and pricing for the iPhone 3G plans. Unlike with the previous handset, you will have to select separate voice and data plans (they won't be combined). Voice plans, which are the same for all AT&T handsets, range from $39.99 to $79.99 per month, depending on the available minutes. Unlimited data plans will be $30 for consumers and $45 business users.

As a result, the cheapest monthly cost for an iPhone user will be $69.99 for unlimited data, plus 450 anytime minutes and 5,000 nights and weekends. That's $10 more than what current iPhone users' pay for comparable services.

Q: Why are AT&T and Apple doing that?
A: We suspect that it's a way to crack down on iPhones that were purchased but were never activated on AT&T's network. By forcing you to activate the phone in a store, you'll be forced to sign up for AT&T service.

I don't mind supporting apple, but I WON'T support AT&T. SO SCREW THE 3G IPHONE!

dat true, but at&t has this grasp back thing, so when you buy a new 3G iphone your current contract goes out the window and you get a new 2 year contract, i like that way better (in tmobile i was stuck for like 3 years), so instead of a 2 years additional to however long your contract it is a renwed 2 years only on the date you bought the iphone, so your not stuck with 4 years of at&t.

i think it's nice. the back looks really scratchable though.
i told my dad about it, and i asked him if i could give him my current iPhone, and if he could get me the 3G one. he said he'll think about it. haha.
but idk, i'm really happy with my current iPhone, it's just that the crippling slow EDGE speeds are killing me. it's not that bad when i have full signal, but when i have like 1 or 2, it's hella slow.

wow i really thought nobody in createblog had an iphone. lol proves im wrong, cause nobody ever talks about ever having one.
