Re: iphone 4 just announced.
 
I just checked and I'm eligible for the $199 upgrade too. Didn't think I would be. I wasn't going to upgrade, but am considering it now. Maybe have to research what I can sell my 3gs for ... Hmmm....

Tony,
Seems ordering it rather than in person was the way to go.
I hate to think of the line tomorrow but may still show up.
If too long, will just wait for the 6-8th that mine should arrive.
Since they are coming in early, who knows, may get it before then.

A little off topic but I think it warrants discussion. Has anyone given any thought to the new data plans for the iPhone, i.e. 200MB, 2GB, Unlimited?

My max usage is 254.47MB so I will obviously downgrade to the 2GB. It's only $5 difference but every little bit helps. My wife has a max usage of 157.71MB so I would be tempted to downgrade hers to the 200MB and save $15.

The only issue I would forsee is that the unlimited data will never be offered again. Once you downgrade, it's gone. I am keeping my unlimited, I can always change it later.

Agree.

Tony, given you have an AT&T in, do you know if I can keep that unlimited data if added to a new line, to my existing account?
May get one for the wife once things calm down a bit.
I have a foundation/corporate linked account that gives me a discount via my company and basically treats us well as result.
I would hope they would allow me to add a line and keep that old plan with it.

I don't know Carlos, I thought it was only available to anyone/line that had it previously.

I've had this particular 3g (I've gone through several in the last two years, I was a lineman not a reciever) for about 4 months and between incoming and outgoing I've got just over 8.2GB. I must be in that 2% that the new system wouldn't cover. :xxx

Actualy I have a question, does the 3G not get the camera zoom? Or was my phone just selective about what it decided restore (like my mobile stogie)

The 3G has very few of the changes that came with new download.
I am in the same boat as you.

Sounds like my dad when I was about 12..."What would anyone ever need a GB of storage on a computer for..."

2gb of data in a month is nothing today - streaming video (Hulu, Netflix), high resolution images, streaming music (Pandora), and the list goes on.

If you do it tonight you'll be there till Tuesday morning...

And I'm thinking about it. My mom is due for an upgrade too so I'm thinking of trying to get one under her number too and she can have my preodered one when it comes. But it all depends on if the mood strikes me

Are you getting that from your phone?
I checked the AT&T site and I've only gone over 500mb once in the last year and 4 months. I haven't looked at my phone stats.

True, but you have no idea if you will be able to keep the unlimited plan on your next upgrade or if AT&T will keep the iPhone... never know.

I'm going to go up to the roof of the building where the apple store is with a few boxes of android advertising leaflets and drop them on the line.

I might even toss in a bunch of 8x10 glossies of Bill Gates too.


If there was any way to get my hands on a mockup of the 4G, I'd drop one and record the chaos and submit it to a video contest.

Yeah, I highly recommend staying with unlimited too, however, the new plan isnt too bad... $25 for 2GB, and $10 for each additional GB. So not a lot of rape

Yeah, with my usage I gave up the unlimited plan. It seems that I am in a WiFi area when I do most of my heavy data usage and figured I would save $5/month for awhile before I would ever start using more than 2GB/month, if ever in the near future. So I'm willing to gamble knowing I will be saving money for some time... Time will tell.

Not sure if worth it but just removed everything from my iPhone.
I figured that will make the back up process quicker should I be able to get one tomorrow at the Apple store.

Tomorrow is the 24th.
Anyone that reserved one the day they went live last week can pick it up.
I will be in line unless it is absolutely nuts.
If it is, will wait for my ordered one to be delivered.

At the Apple Store, tomorrow June 24th, they'll have a line for those with reservations and a separate line for people (like me) who don't have a reservation. The second line will be first come, first serve until they're out.

Got it!

Better than expected

1. I can't make mine have the antenna issue thats being reported
2. Camera is a real tool now
3. HD Video is great but can be shaky in hand with CMOS jello effect
4. FAST real FAST
5. Folders are great
6. Screen is noticeably better
7. Multi tasking is an answer to a question I wasn't asking, but nice
8. Fit, finish , feel is great. Best feeling iphone since original
9. Speaker seems clearer and louder
10. Wifi connection is faster on my network (n)

Well, got up at five when the alarm clock went off so I could head out to the Apple store.
Put it on snooze.....turns out I am still home.

I guess knowing I have a mail order to be shipped on 7/2 doesn't make me sweat that much.
Will take a ride over there shortly to check it out.

Tony is in line.

just at a glance the screen looks more contrast-y... but i've seen close ups that show the PPI of each and how big of a change it is.
