Hmm. $199, July 11th. 3G, GPS, v2.0 software. Not too shabby.

Yeah, I think I want one. I've been wanting a PDA-type thing anyway, and this is everything I've ever wanted in one plus a phone.

Only sad they didn't announce '32GB model' and 'today'.

The temptation increases... Not sure if I'm there yet, though.

I have myself an iPhone from when they dropped the price and the thought of 3G one makes it very enticing but not sure if it's worthwhile unless I was able to sell or do something with my current phone... :P Cause iPhone 2.0 software will work on current iPhones too...

Damn, I didn't think the price would drop THAT low ... I'd almost be tempted if I hadn't just bought a new phone and was contracted with Sprint service for another year or two. (But no, I'm not tempted enough that I want to look into breaking the contract, thanks.)

Also, while I think MobileMe is a pretty stupid name, it looks like a big part of it is just expanding a lot of the basic .mac sync features (email, contacts, calendars) to work even more seamlessly, and between Macs, PCs and iPhones and iPod Touches, all wirelessly and automatically. Very nice.

Perhaps this will be the model we'll get in NZ. Would be tempting! Must look up the details.

Oh, my dear Apple...you've done it again.

Am I actually willing to get AT&T service? For an iPhone...yes, yes I am.

I shall be saving my pennies for July 11th!

...sees that it is coming to Canada on July 11, but still no idea of what the plan pricing will be. :(

Apparently like AT&T's other voice and unlimited data rates--no more special pricing for Apple.

There is no such thing as an "unlimited data" plan currently in Canada.

Now, will the fix the existing issue where if the signal is just slightly too low for the 3G signal that it defaults over to the Edge network... and then stays there I'm told.

This $200 price tag is going to seriously PISS PEOPLE OFF who shelled out twice that for even the lowest model of the current iPhone... Won't be able to resell the iPhone for anything more than fifty bucks!

Yeah, but what I want is Bluetooth Stereo. And I don't think that's on the menu.

Also, I don't want to change carriers. Nrrrrg.

Because of the company it's going to be with here, I wouldn't touch it, perhaps except with a shillelagh.

As the 3g iphone has gotten closer, my current phone gets worse and worse. battery going weak, rebooting, hanging, etc. I think hen these things hit the streets, my phone will have an 'accident'. of epic proportions.

I'm with AT&T, I can go post paid from a crappy prepaid phone, and $300 is worth it (my 16 gig iPod touch was $400 last year).

Yep, I'm going to get the iPhone, and save for the iMac.

+ x2 data rate and whole new calling plan from AT+T

And an increase in data pricing from $20 to $30. Loses lots of its attraction to the Blackberry when it loses its cheaper data plan.
