When you purchase the Iphone all you are purchasing is a really nice phone with hundreds of features, the name apple, and the app store. That being said you should purchase the new phone if you want to run your apps quicker and better and generally have a phone that is above the competition with dealing with applications. So if you don’t want your phone to that you shouldn’t be an Apple customer. ..end of story.

I’m sick of people complaining because they didn’t get a phone with out of this world technology. If your complaining at this point I’d hate to see what you would say if they told you you had to pay 1200 dollars for a phone.

Do you think they don’t have the technology to do all the ridiculous things people want? They do. They are just smarter then the average joe and know what to add and when to add it.

So suck it up and if your not happy go buy that piece of **** Palm Pre with its 19 apps.

I am a speed freak so i find the increase in the general speed worth it plus i have not been disappointed in any of my iPhone purchases. I got the 2G just after release, promptly upgraded to 3G after it’s release with the $299 upgrade rate. This time i am paying a premium tax of $200 (above the 299) to upgrade early. happily paid, and As an AT&T customer for 10+ yrs i have no issues with their service i haven’t experienced with every other US company.

As for the camera, it’s going to be a big deal for me, and I’m a @#&$ photographer.

Above Frank says, “in my case, I always have to carry a digital camera with me. So getting +1.0 megapixel is well, still ****. I really think no one shouuld be making anything below 5.0 MP at this age.”

Please.

I shoot full frame digital and 4×5 1gb files when I’m doing serious work, but since those cameras are more than 1cm thick – I won’t have them with me everywhere, always. I also have a HD DV camera which is pretty darn small. Again, I’m not going to have it with me unless I’m specifically doing a dedicated shoot. My phone is glued to my body. This is going to change things, if only because it’s going to be so @#$& easy to upload things. I NEVER sent random little photos to people before my iphone, simply because it took like 3-4 steps to get them from my camera to someone else’s computer/phone. With the iphone, I started doing that all the time. Even a tiny bit better quality would have been a big deal for me, and with video – even crappy video – easily uploadable to youtube, I can imagine tons of great on-the-fly uses.

So all the upgrades can be found in Cydia?

Exactly how do you increase the camera from 2 to 3 megapixels without changing the camera?

Exactly how do you get macro mode and autofocus without changing the camera?

Exactly how do you get 30fps VGA recording without changing the camera?
