Initial reports say that you won't be able to purchase a 3G phone unless you sign another 2-year agreement with AT&T.

I will wait to see what happens on July 11th. I am thinking about giving the Android platform a try though .

you wont, my GF brother works at a AT&T store is the manager,we got an email from AT&T we send it to Gizmodo check it out.

data plans for iphone are $10 more than the older iphone.

Shows how much you know. My 1st gen iPhone has voice dialing and video recording (and sending) capability. You are an idiot.

What people don't understand is on the iPhone, if the hardware is present, anything concerning it is possible. It takes 30 seconds to jailbreak your phone and then you can write/download any program you want to.

The iPhone, for that single reason, is the most capable phone available.

There's an MMS utility too, never played with that though. I have the video camera utility ($10 license to fully open), its not bad.

I haven't spotted that one yet. My favorite so far is the Pool (which I play all the time) and the VNC servers, I can control my computer from anywhere on my network, great of when I am playing music in multiple rooms and don't want to run upstairs to change a song/playlist.

[MrToad]

I'm talking about the standard phone, not one thats jail broken so YOU are the idiot. "The most capable phone" Yes, that is why there are these errors right?

Before you decide to name call, do your research.

they got a month to iron it out.

[dimisa1977]

yeah, copy and paste would be nice.

[Greeney]

Im not sure what everyone needs to copy paste so bad?

[cipher5]

I RARELY use copy paste, I could live without it, I don't understand what the big deal is.

It's simple functionality that is easily coded into software, so why the hell hasn't Apple put it in? Copy/paste is more needed on a mobile device than a regular computer because it's harder to type on mobiles. I use copy/paste at least a dozen times a day on my PC.

[asian010]

realistically its not going to be cheaper. the price of buying and owning it will be more expencive than the previous model due to the price of the data plan and other stuff being jacked up.

[MrToad]

Looks like another epic fail

No tethering...

I'd only get it if the monthly bill was less than my verizon bill now:

I'm paying $70 plus taxes for my plan, 500texts out of network, unlimited data, insurance, etc. for an lg voyager.

it looks like the cheapest plan you can get for the iphone 3g is $39.99+ $10 (1500 texts)+$30 data plus insurance and taxes...you're lookin at somewhere around $95

...and if you get a family plan its $60 for the lowest family plan, plus $10 to add a line, plus $30 per phone for unlimited data (at least thats the latest now)+ plus extra text messages + insurance....maybe equal to or slightly more than what I'm paying now.

plus I'd have to convince my gf to pay $70+ a month for her cell phone.....it's a tough sell in my eyes either way and to be honest it just doesn't seem worth it...I mean charging $5 for the 200 SMS that used to be included? what a rip-off....subsidy my ass.

So, this baby comes out in 2 days.
Are you going for it on friday?

[howie]

i hope the lines aren't ridiculous that morning...

[denlin68]

as long as your not lining up in the city, it shouldnt be too bad.... plus they have a huge supply anyway, dont know if this is true, but my friend told me if you dont want to wait in line , AT&T can ship you the new Iphone 3G by mail on like July 19th or somthing. can someone confirm if this is true ?

[FrankoQ]

You can also check online for your local AT&T store supply.
and I heard they will re-stock daily?
