    I have been waiting for them to release one worth getting since i got my Second Gen.
    The phone is just beautiful. I couldnt help but watch the entire keynote on it last night.

    I think I'm stuck with the 3G :( But I think I can still update the software on my current Iphone.

    This new version has a camera in front which lets you have video calls :) Sick!

    Video calls have been pretty standard in mobile phones here since 2004. Gosh, I hated all those kids on the subway making video calls for the first two years. Fortunately, the video calls have decreased (try walking while talking and looking at your screen for an entire call :p). And since it's (atm, might change for us with carriers that aren't as crappy as AT&T and actually support video calls with no problems) only wifi, this makes the phone seem even worse in my eyes.
    But! I'm still getting one. :p My 1st gen iPhone has been stolen or misplaced since a few days back, so I need to get a new phone anyway. The app store, screen and new camera quality (hd video<3) are the deal breakers.
    Oh, and I followed the entire keynote on engadgets liveblog. XD

    I've got the 3gs on a plan > I've got to pay out that plan but I do want the 4th Gen. It looks less girly.. I was trying to get
    away from IPhone full stop though. Theyre not as good as I was expecting.. AND THEIR CAMERA'S SUCK!! WHO NO FLASH?

    I'm hoping down the line they will come up with an unlock for it.
    I dont even have the thing and i'm already thinking about hacking it.
    :)

    I really cant wait to be able to send picture messages. haha
    My first gen iphone is uncapable. (didnt realize how much i'd miss it till it was gone)

    Lol, good point. Never really though about that, it would be a little weird, but I guess when you're home or on the bus, or anywhere where you're standing or sitting in one place, the video call would be fine.

    I like the square-ish more solid, less rounded look of this one :3 I've got an ipod touch (AT&T coverage sucks where I'm at, verizon is the only option if you'd want anything semi-dependable) and I don't like how rounded it is... it tends to slip from my hands and such. I'm getting a case though... /ramble
    I wouldn't mind an iphone (and the iphone 4 is really appealing, lol), but I love my droid all the same. <3 <3 I love the full keyboard and such, even though it's amazingly easy/faster to type on my ipod I still stick to it... sometimes touchscreen can get annoying :/

    one of my classmates had an iphone since they first came out. It was useless, she had to go stand on a hill to use it at all xD

    Thats too bad about the bad cell service. My phone is actually unlocked and i use it through t-mobile. Seems to work well but i am going to make the switch to AT&T soon.

    As for this one being different, apple is claiming that there are 100 new features on the device.
    One of the coolest features i know about so far is that the metal band around the edge of the phone acts as antennas for wifi, bluetooth, 3g, gps, and cell service.
    I love cool engineering. :)

    And one more thing to note about this new iphone..

    The processor used is as same as that of ipad..So navigation,opening closing application is supposed to be very fast when compared to iphone 3gs..

    Iphone is surely evolving..Apple is perfecting this area!!

    I cant imagine not getting one because everyone and their mother has one.
    Everyone gets them for a reason. They're amazing.

    Just like the ipod, everyone has one of them because they are an amazing product.

    Just because everyone has one dosn't make it amazing. I would call it Amazing marketing and selling stratagise.

    Maybe me thinking its amazing is because i've been using one for almost 3 years and have never had any problems with it.
    If it weren't for the applications that it can run i don't think i would like it as much.

    I agree with you their the number of applications for the iphone do take the product onto another level.

    Omfg I'm so excited! AT&T let's you upgrade early if you have a 3gs so I'm hopefully preordering it on the 15th. Ive had every version of the iPhone, Billy and I are pretty much iPhone fan boys.
