They drank the Apple kool-aid, don't expect rationality.

I'm going to wait a few months after the release to decide if I want to upgrade. They most likely be working out a few bugs in the first three months.

I am on smart phone hold right now waiting to see, free and clear of any contract and open game. I want to see how the iphone 4 reviews with the masses, as well as the Verizon's Droid X coming out. I could honestly sway either way at this point, though I prefer being on Verizon too.

I just checked, and AT&T online preordering has been temporarily suspended. I wonder if they have more orders than they can fill?

Their preorder was a miserable fail. They didn't take pre-orders over the phone, their online system crashed, and the line at my local ATT store was out the door.

If you didn't preorder there is NO way.

I was talking to the lady at AT&T and they said they open at 7am that day, maybe get their at 4am to have a chance. Even then it sounds like you might not get one, but who knows.

I don't think 4am will get you a good place in line. There are crazy/dedicated people out there that are willing to camp out the night before in line. Think Black Friday lines in front of Best Buy, only it's the summer time so it'll be warmer, and in front of Apple and AT&T stores. |

What I think is funny is the people who don't want to get locked into a contract.
Say you got stuck wtih the entire $175 early termination fee, you don't think you could find someone who wanted to buy your used iPhone4 off you for $175 in a heartbeat? Unless you completely trash it, you are good to go, no risk. They day Verizon or Sprint release a network that is superior to the AT&T 3G network *and* have a sweet device that can leverage it, I'll be first in line. Until then, i'm in queue for an iPhone 4! |

I got an email the 19th saying it was in Shenzen China, then to Lantau Island Hong Kong and now it is in Anchorage Alaska released from int'l shipment. Getting pretty excited here, this crappy Blackberry is caveman status!

I'm debating what to do. I have a 3GS and I can't buy anything at subsidized prices till July 2011. If I decide that the new features are worth it, I may cancel and renew my contract, or something, I dunno. $700 for a phone (even without a contract) is pretty ridiculous.
However, I am one of these geeks that use mine so much every day... and I use the video and camera a lot. Hrmmm... I guess the only thing about canceling is that you'll be on the limited data plan and the cancellation fee of $175 or whatever makes it still nearly the same as the unsubsidized price. Maybe I can get someone to use their upgrade for me.

1) cancel and get subsidized price: $175 cancellation + $399 phone + being locked in to 2 year contract = $575 OR 2) buy unsubsidized phone and not extend contract = $699 Screw that, it's not worth that much $ when I already have a 3GS with a contract that won't allow a "cheaper" upgrade. I'm a geek but I'm not a moron. The bigger battery and better camera is all I'll miss I guess.

Thankfully I am grandfathered in from my 3G. BTW: iOS4 makes my phone feel much snappier, even on a 3G which ran super slow before.

Multitasking is fine, although I never really thought it a big deal. I played around with the backgrounder app on my jailbroken phones and it was seldom used. I used it mostly to background the downloading of other jailbroken apps that were huge. I guess I'll use pandora or last.fm more often in the car now because of it. I think the best thing for me is you're not limited to just 1 microsoft exchange server email account, so now I can have my google apps and gmail account messages pushed to the phone.

Just updated the 3GS with the new os4. I am loving the ability to setup multiple Microsoft Exchange accounts. My iPhone is now more powerful than my desktop. LOL
The multitasking thing comes in handy. Not that it's really multitasking, but it's nice to be able to switch between apps on the fly. |

When did you buy your 3gs ?

Jan or Feb after some unknown real ****ty person stole it and tried to extort me a "reward" to get it back. I offered them $100 off the bat just to be nice and they countered with "I need a car". I guess that's what happens when you're careless with your phone at a courthouse when you're just trying to take care of something in traffic court.
