    Danged, it'll only cost me $180 to buy myself out of the my current contract. So tempting indeed!

    I went to the Rogers site to try and look up information but it seems to have crashed in the wake of the WWDC.

    I'd wait until the new phone is out before paying term fees or anything, I bet AT&T shuffles some plan stuff around.

    I'm currently with Telus and I'd consider waiting it out if it weren't for the fact that my phone is kicking the bucket. I don't want to be stuck with one of their cheap replacement phones for another year and in order to get something a bit nicer I'd have to sign on for another 3 years. $180 is almost a bargain to get away from them...

    I really wish Microsoft would hurry up and announce the Zune HD Phone, because that would be the only thing that could tempt me away from the 3GS.

    That OLED screen is pudding for the eyes.

    But I mean, the new phone comes out next friday. I'm sure you can wait.

    significantly faster internals and a proper camera are just so cosmetic, aren't they, shoe?

    if you already have a real camera and were fine with the speed of the iphone before, then yes, I'd say so

    I don't see a hundred dollars worth of difference there, is all

    Having bought the top-end Macbook Air four months ago, I am somewhat chagrined by today's news.

    After lugging around a Dell XPS Gen 2 for three years, I wanted to go as far in the other direction as I could get.

    That Simpsons episode is what first came to mind when watching the unveiling of the new phone, but since I don't already own one I might as well buy the best model available when I switch.

    Frankly I was just holding out for 32 gigs, so I'm glad they finally have that going on.

    And yeah, I'm not going to cancel my contract today and be without a phone for a week. That would be foolish.

    Thanks Apple. Thanks for not including a FireWire port on the 13" Macbook when they first came out like a sane, rational corporation. It's your fucking interface, for christ's sake.

    Yeah, I wanted an iPhone and was really hoping for significant awesomeness of improvement
    And not just some small stuff

    I still want an iPhone but it is less urgent and I might stick with my dumbphone for another year since they are expensive and the changes from the 3G are not huge

    as someone who currently does not own an iphone I think there was enough new stuff to make me pull the trigger on that instead of the pre

    Well, yeah, instead of the Pre but
    I mean right now I am not paying for any data plan

    And I don't have significant disposable income
    So upgrading to a phone with a data plan wanted me to have the iPhone announcement be more awesome

    I dunno nothing about the pre

    I wish some company would make a strict gaming phone

    kinda like the ngage but less ugly and more supported

    as far as functionality went though the ngage was kickass

    but that's nokia for you

    not if you never ever spend it

    what if you were to get a big building

    sort of a, and I'm just spitballing here, "money bin"

    and you just had all your money converted into gold coins

    and instead of spending it, you just kind of swam in it all day

    that seems like it would be fun

    man if verizon's phones didn't suck so bad they'd be king of the mountain

    their data speeds are significantly faster than 3g and their coverage is awesome

    but they have ugly phones with terrible proprietary uis, and also they're kind of dicks

    update 3.0 won't add it to the current 3G, right?

    no, it's indisposed

    you can't spend the money because it's currently indisposed.
