Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The A.T & T store by my house received 50 of the new 8gb iphones and only 25 of the 16gb... Anyone else getting up tomorrow to pick one up???
Shundi Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I just want the 2.0 software update... not a fan of the new material...back looks cheap/probably [censored] for longevity/durability plus I'm not paying an extra $10 a month for 3G when all the malls, my home, and work all have A/B/G/preN wireless...
client9 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) I won't be in line. I'm keeping it old school with a 5 year old Sony Palm PDA and a basic, 4 year old Samsung cellphone. Together they aren't nearly as good as an iPhone, but I take pleasure in seeing my equipment get old and used. I cherish every scratch and every ding. When they finally die after years of loyal service, I feel sad, like a good friend of mine has passed away. Edited July 11, 2008 by client9
Tribal Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The A.T & T store by my house received 50 of the new 8gb iphones and only 25 of the 16gb... Anyone else getting up tomorrow to pick one up??? Can you them pickup without contract in the US? I have the old 8GB.
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 No, you must sign a contract or upgrade with an existing contract. You cannot just buy the phone.

A college of mine has upgrade to 2.0 today. Some nice inprovements but the Appstore sucks. You must now pay for Apps that you get from the old installer for free. But I will sell my old Iphone and get a new one with 3G while I'm in Europe and Edge is so damn slow.
Admin Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Nah...Tried it today and while it's user interface is pretty much superior to anything else on the market I'm not replacing my HTC Touch Cruise
offshore Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I had a look at it today as well, but decided my "old faithfull" still had a couple of years left in her! Offshore
capice Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I will keep my HTC P3300....but I saw Tribal's Iphone at a GTG and was impressed...maybe I have to get the new one....
its_urabus Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 my friend is getting the new one, I am buying his old one for next to nothing... I am on tmobile, so its perfect. you will be able to buy a phone with no contract in a few weeks. $599 and $699 usd. ouch....

Dizzy Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The "coolness factor" quickly wears off with the iphone.. its super cool but i went back to my blackberry and the iphone sits in the desk drawer now.
Chicago1122 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 The "coolness factor" quickly wears off with the iphone.. its super cool but i went back to my blackberry and the iphone sits in the desk drawer now. 100% agree... at least i have a 500 dollar MP3 player, basically its a backup phone for when I inevitably lose, or break my BB curve...
llsteve80 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I like my curve, but I've been thinking about switching to at&t when my contract is up and getting the iphone, mainly for the big screen. I browse a lot on my pda so that will be nice. I wish RIM would make an iphone competitor, rumor was the 99xx series would be but the prototype or whatever is out and its definately not. How much is that thing gonna be with a new at&t contract?
abat Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 O2 seem to have made a farce of the 3G iphone. I was going to upgrade my V1 but their website died the other day when they opened it for upgrades. I'll just wait until the demand dies down and they have some stock then I'll upgrade. I did consider going to an O2 shop today but to be honest I couldn't be bothered.

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I went and took a look at them this morning, I will also stick with my Nokia N95.
Chronus Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I went and took a look at them this morning, I will also stick with my Nokia N95. Answer is no.... for now. I'm sticking with my N82. Waiting to see the new Blackberry come out and get that (or iPhone) as a business phone for free. The new Nokia N96 looks decent though Sadly no xenon flash... but the N82 does the same stuff, but has half the 256mb RAM of the N96.
bruce79 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Don't mean to go off topic here but the new ipod, you know the one that is just like the iphone but without the phone, what are your thoughts on those. It seems like a cell phone is a cell...but the new ipods seem like they're worth a look.

It seems like a cell phone is a cell...but the new ipods seem like they're worth a look. No idea, never had an ipod, my phones have always played music and had memory card slots - sony ericsson w810i, sony ericsson k800i, nokia N82.... I'm happy with that. 2x8gb cards is enough for me usually, work is only a 10-15 min walk from home - why do you think I stayed here so long on relatively low pay
jfreeman420 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Just saw on msnbc the new iphone has software problems. They can't be fully activated at teh store
woody Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 It's an EPIC FAIL for Apple & AT&T here in the states for sure today. Notice the Apple stock dropped sharply today? hell, they deserved it after this debacle. It is indeed an iPocalypse!!!
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I know three people who attempted to update the software on their old iphones today. ALL THREE are bricked now! Wont do anything. OOPS!
abat Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I know three people who attempted to update the software on their old iphones today. ALL THREE are bricked now! Wont do anything. OOPS! There are various ways through this, texting them at a certain point in the cycle appears to free them up apparently. Mine is staying un-updated for a few days though.
phaedo Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 What I am looking for is a phone that takes 2 sim cards, which the iphone doesn't. There are ways to do it but thta means cutting the sims to fit, there is only one phone on the market at the moment I know of that will take 2 cards and do the job seemlessly, the samsung duo (that I know of). That is what the next phones need IMO.
