- inactive, on 06/10/2008, -5/+135ha, the $600 phone i bought 9 months ago is now worth less than $200
- s4g4n, on 06/10/2008, -8/+83Pros: Its $199
Cons: It doesn't cook your dinner. - eighto2, on 06/09/2008, -7/+71Does it record video at least????
- MrMetal, on 06/09/2008, -9/+71I can't wait to rub it all over my skin...
Whatever, you all were thinking the same thing. Denial kills kittens. - TSSaloic, on 06/09/2008, -4/+63Maybe with a 3rd party app.
- Wang, on 06/10/2008, -3/+61"The dock (now sold separately) and adapter (if you want an extra) will both go for something like $29, although that price is not yet confirmed." - doh...no dock included, thats another $30 gone + AT&T data plan is $10 more ($30 for iphone data). Is it just me or does the $199 price seem to be slowly increasing :)
- lead2thehead, on 06/10/2008, -3/+50Still no MMS? With that much processing power, you'd think it could send a text message with an f*cking picture attached. ARGH!
- funkdr, on 06/09/2008, -3/+37seems like a lot of the hoped features are missing??
- Wang, on 06/10/2008, -2/+33cons: no dock included anymore (+$29)
- daines88, on 06/10/2008, -2/+30Why the ***** must Apple insist on taking more and more accessories out of each product refresh?!?! This time it's the dock... next time it will be the power adapter, mark my words.
//rant - LaPistola, on 06/10/2008, -4/+30Nope... Its worth the same or more... you won't be able to buy one to use on other networks now. They are requiring you activate at the store.. so anyone looking to use an iphone on another network will have to get one of a finite number of 1gen iphones.
- saleem, on 06/10/2008, -2/+23why cant i cut copy paste or mms yet? :o(
- AshamedAmerican, on 06/09/2008, -8/+29I still wish it had some simple, cosmetic additions such as menu wallpaper or the ability to change icons. Without being jailbroken, that is.
- ZeroSki11, on 06/10/2008, -1/+21"We did a quick data test -- at our location we went from 104Kbps on the EDGE iPhone to 215Kbps on the 3G model. 2x ain't bad, yo."
215kbps?!?!? Is this typical of 3G on AT&T's network? I just got 738kbps on my EVDO phone. - UMDWei, on 06/10/2008, -0/+19Now that I think about it, I'm not sure why I'm paying $20 for a data plan on the original iphone. Most of my real data usage is on wifi anyway.
I don't mind paying $30 for data on 3G, but we really should petition for unlimited texting to be included in the $30 plan. - nroose, on 06/10/2008, -3/+21Did you watch the pres?
It does support MS Exchange. - wonderchemist, on 06/10/2008, -11/+29Why do people still care about MMS? What does MMS get you that rich email with a photo attached doesn't?
- gimmeslack12, on 06/09/2008, -3/+20How many times have you thought "That new Apple product looks cheap". And changed your mind once you had one in front of you? I'm sure its as elegant as always.
- TSSaloic, on 06/09/2008, -1/+18The metal backing also blocked radio signals in version 1.0. The all plastic back is likely the same plastic that iPhone 1.0 had at the bottom, which was durable but still allowed communication to the towers. Also the GPS antenna might need more room than the small strip would allow for.
- EvilJelloMan, on 06/10/2008, -2/+19My biggest question is - GPS directions?? If it doesn't do turn by turn, with voice, it's not worth the upgrade to me. Sure, the phone is 199 now, but it's an extra ten bucks a month for the data plan, so an extra 240 dollars spent over the length of your contract. Not so cheap anymore is it?
- JasonPeck, on 06/10/2008, -4/+19Cons: 2 year contracts...grr
- jmreid, on 06/10/2008, -2/+16Maybe to your grandmother.
- kemuelste, on 06/09/2008, -6/+20now i can get it.
- ATLien74, on 06/10/2008, -2/+15yeah WTF? integrate iphone video recording with youtube and you've got a revolution. instant broadcasting. nobody could ever hide ***** again!
maybe that scares some people.
hmmm. - waydee, on 06/10/2008, -1/+14Not everybody has data plans enabled or wants to use sometimes expensive data just to download a picture - MMS messages are often included in free message bundles or are quite cheap to send/receive. It's an odd thing to leave out.
- saleem, on 06/10/2008, -0/+13or cut copy paste
- jmreid, on 06/10/2008, -2/+15I think you should read about A-GPS. It's not a bad thing:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS
And you are so wrong about Exchange support:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise/ - Aragatz, on 06/10/2008, -6/+19Can I trade in my old iPhone for a discount on the new 3G version?
- gamabunta, on 06/10/2008, -1/+14I just realized the launch date was free Slurpee day.
- serpentor, on 06/10/2008, -1/+14Agreed! 215kbps is abysmally piss poor for "3G", what a letdown..
- wrenchone, on 06/10/2008, -2/+15Hey, gotta save something to make people buy v3.0.
- McKoKslarge, on 06/10/2008, -1/+1330$ a month just for iphone ----not including voice plan; thats 10$ more that the iphone 1st gen;
- HolyChimp, on 06/10/2008, -2/+14MMS is old news. The real question is 'why no video calling on a 3G phone?'
- Twee, on 06/10/2008, -3/+14So you can send pictures to all of your friends with Moto Razrs. Honestly though, I've never used MMS and don't think I ever will.
- aserer511, on 06/10/2008, -3/+14No flash and self portrait mirror
SO REVOLUTIONARY
Before adding a slew of awesome technogoodies, which you have, why don't you ***** add the basics your end users will interact with and benefit from day to day. As awesome as push email sans exchange is, I feel like most users just wanna take the best photos that the stock 2MP cam can take, and that 'requires' a flash and a mirror - CLShortFuse, on 06/10/2008, -1/+11I get 1500kbps (the cap AT&T sets) from my AT&T Tilt. Don't flaunt your 1/2 speed EVDO CDMA phone at me.
- Wailord, on 06/10/2008, -1/+11Yes, with a two year contract.
- Skahara, on 06/10/2008, -2/+12It doesn't.
- Ironman11, on 06/10/2008, -1/+11I'm really hoping that AT&T will allow you to get an unlimited EDGE data plan (no 3G) for $20 for those of us who don't live in a 3G area.
- littlemarcho, on 06/09/2008, -4/+14And yet gained about 1 billion!
- thecheat1, on 06/10/2008, -1/+10/agree I have always thought the unlimited data should include texting.
Lets get it started and have MrBabyMan post it on Digg. - waydee, on 06/10/2008, -0/+9If the iPhone cant even match the capabilities of practically every other 3g handset on the market these days (that is by including a real camera and flash) - like Sony Ericsson and Nokia offerings then what hope does it have? Why not include it?
- Casey9801, on 06/10/2008, -8/+17eh, who cares? I have to say I'm in complete agreement with the unbiased technical review of the iPhone found here: http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=ip ...
- inactive, on 06/10/2008, -1/+10Or be able to send or receive pictures to and from other picture phones...
- KMartSheriff, on 06/10/2008, -1/+9I know you were just making a point, but ***** the Razr.
- dullnation, on 06/10/2008, -1/+9If you're so bothered, disable apple stories from showing up on the front page ;P
- s0ny, on 06/10/2008, -4/+12Find another sub 500$ phone that DOESNT include a 2 year contract.
- omniatlas, on 06/10/2008, -0/+8No, the prices of 1G iphones will now jack up because theres no way to get an iPhone now WITHOUT signing a contract.
A step backwards in my opinion. - megamod, on 06/10/2008, -1/+9put the iphone on the skin or else it gets the hose again =O
- posty, on 06/10/2008, -0/+8Yes it does, but it looks like with only a third party app.

looks vapourware for now, but it looks like its done by the same guys who were hacking the iphone to begin with, if anyones seen that test app.
but I do like the ability to edit the compression settings and stuff. -
