New iPhone!

Dumb question but I got to ask. When I'm using Wi-Fi I'm not getting charged under my 2GB data plan right?? Basically I can use and browse the internet unlimitedly while using Wi-Fi correct?

Correct.

I have one, it's OK. There is a documented problem with the Antennas that are built into the perimeter of it. When you have 5 full bars hold it in you left hand and place you thumb over the little black line at the bottom of the left side (it is actually an insulator between the Phone antenna and the base). Hold your thumb there for about 15 seconds and watch the strength bars drop. The fix is to insulate that area. If you have clear nail polish you can paint it on the metal edging about 3/4" out in either direction from the black insulator strip.

Other than that, I do like the phone. It is faster, has a better screen, a 5 megapixel camera instead of a 2, a flash, a forward facing camera (no real use for it for me).

I just saw that picture of the white phone above. You mentioned a bumper, is that their "official" fix?

Now that its official, where can I pick up my free bumper? Will they only be available at Apple retail stores(which are always sold out BTW) or can I pick up a free one at ATT stores as well?

Did you read the article you linked?

The deal will appear on Apple's website "late next week,"

[evidens83]

Ya I just re-read it and even checked it out in their online store. Guess I will have to order it..

cool. I just bought a bumper on Tuesday afternoon because I just felt like it. Now I can get a refund for it

[odysseus]

What is silly is that it seems Apple has not said they will revise the design in new production to fix the issue?

If you want a bumper I would buy one with your own money ASAP. Steve said in the keynote that they 'cannot produce bumpers fast enough'. So when the free case option comes around next week the remaining bumper supply will quickly dry up leaving only 3rd party cases to pick from.

If I didn't already have a bumper I would walk into the Apple store today, get my bumper so I can get my refund next week.

What free bumper?

"Since they can't make the Bumpers fast enough, they'll be supplying other cases from third parties."

Here are some pics of the bumper, in case some of you haven't seen what it looks like on the iPhone 4 up close.

looks good. I need one regardless.

I guess this will do until Otterbox finishes their design

[Biff...]

The Ballistic HC just came out, can't decide if I wait for the otterbox or just get this. Its the same price as an otterbox defender.

That ballistic case is a little overkill for me. Otterbox Defender or Commuter will do. I hate those cutouts for the Apple Logo though

Unless I can get my hands on a Magpul iPhone 4 case I will stick with my white bumper.
