iPhone 4

[Blabj]

So who else is waiting for one?

What do you think the likelihood of a release very soon after announcement is? I have the money to put a down payment on a 12 month contract already burning a hole in my pocket. Using a shitty work phone really makes me wish I had one sooner!

Also, anyone in the UK worried about not getting one on d-day?

My excitement can be summed up by this little icon...

Only thing interesting i saw about it was video convo, wonder how long the battery will last..

[Kurstone]

assuming the iPhone 4g prototype gizmondo found was the final product, its 15% more than the 3g S one

[Neosutra]

I'll be standing in line the day they go on sale.

HD OLED screen, 3 times the HD size, better camera with flash, front facing camera for video conferencing, faster processor..

Fuck ya.

I'm no iPhone fan but the new resolution on the screen is fuckin beast. 960x640 yummy.

Also, Steve Jobs will be at D8 tonight. Possibility for some sauce on the phone - so check your whatever tech blog you frequent for infos.

I'll probably sell my iphone and buy a Samsung i897 if it really does come to AT&T.

[Zeh]

What we need is an incredible on AT&T. I wish I wasn't stuck with my family -- at this point I want my own phone bill

[Tythera]

Was reading rumors of the Galaxy S coming to AT&T as well, I'm not quite sure what I'll do near the end of the summer when I can upgrade

[Amastacia]

Have a 3GS and another year on my contract. But then again my headphone jack is dying (and I'm not sure how easy it is to service). We'll have to see.

[Clipse]

I'll be waiting in line on the first day of sale. Can't wait to finally upgrade from my 3G.

Rebranded the Samsung i897. Few spec differences, but essentially the same. It's what I'll probably get.

Same. Mine is starting to have problems.

One thing that might upset some people is that with the launch of the 4G, AT&T is changing their data plans. The $30 unlimited data plan is going to be replaced by two new plans with caps, $15 for 200MB/mo with a $15 charge for every 200 MB over you usage and $25 for 2GB/mo with $10 for every GB over your usage. It might not seem like a big deal, but I use my phone a lot especially at the office. My iphone is jailbroken with a tethering AP which turns my phone into a wifi hotspot so I can browse the web on my laptop. Looking at my last bill, I used about 1.9 GB (before I started tethering) and God knows how much it data I have used after putting the app.

There is some good news though, which is you can stay on the current unlimited plan, but if you want to use Apple/AT&T approved tethering, you have to go with their DataPro plan for $25 with their 2gb cap, and also pay an extra $20 for tethering. If you are jailbroken (there's already a jailbreak for 4G ready to go) you can just stay on the current unlimited plan and use the tether hack/app.

I bought a 3G cheap last month because of the hype of 4G. How much better could it be?

Twice the screen resolution/illuminosity, with twice the battery life per pixel consumption thanx to organic LED screen.

3 times the hard drive size.

5 MP camera.

2.5(guessing) front facing video conferencing camera.

40% faster processor over 3GS.

New case allows for 20-30% better signal range.

And that's just the stuff we know about.

[Linliel]

I'm hoping I won't leave a 4G on a train like I did with my 3GS

[Gabai]

If it's just a 3G and not a 3G S, you will not be able to fully upgrade to 4.0 which may be a big deal (definitely will be missing out on multitasking from 4.0). As far as 3G S to 4G, all that Neo said.

So, if I have a 3G currently (not 3GS), and I am eligible for a contract renewal discount, I'll be able to renew my contract for 2 years, get a discounted 4G, and keep the current unlimited plan?
