So the new Iphone is now out. Anyone upgrading to it or taking the initial plunge now? I currently have the 16gig Edge model which still works great, but I'm tempted to move up, mainly for the speed. It seems like the only features left I'd really want are buttons, as in some sort of psp slim type iteration for those that really want to play games on it. But that will probably never happen, so may as well upgrade now and sell my current model to cover the cost.

Here's a feature guide for anyone interested.

I refuse to buy the iPhone as long as AT&T's contract plan is the only option. $70 a month is a rip-off. If pay as you go plans are introduced for the iPhone, I might get one. Maybe if Apple lets up their little monopoly (which is unlikely as Apple as never been friendly to consumers when it comes to letting consumers have choices) by letting other companies like Virgin Mobile carry it, it would improve.

I have a 3G so I can't upgrade without being really ripped off!

I want to, but can because of reasons stated above. The biggest bullshit is the change in the "Let's not completly fuckover people who bought the last one" policy.

How does the ripping people off thing work when you signed a 2 year contract?

kraken613 · « **Reply #5 on:** June 10, 2009, 01:38:57 AM »

With the 2G to 3g you could upgrade for $199. Not $700!

Gunna get it. My current contract expires in August.

They never should have allowed early upgrades for first gen buyers when the second one was released. Now they all have this bratty sense of entitlement for yet another discount.

I pray for the day the US cell phone market stops subsidizing phones and making people pay full retail price for them.

The iPhone sucks. Sure, there are tons of apps, and blah blah blah, but at the end of the day, it sucks. I have a Samsung Omnia, it can do every single thing that the iPhone can do, but it can also multitask (just like any WM phone), use real GPS, has a 5.0MP camera, can record video, has 8GB built-in storage, with a MicroSD slot so you can add 16GB more, and it only cost me $99...and it's $40 w/ unlimited data *and* text, including the actual phone plan. Stop wasting money on the iPhone, it's a piece of ****.

Dude, in all seriousness. Call your nearest friend with Fieldrunners, that is, if you like Tower Defense games. Its the cream of the crop in a genre quickly filling with mediocrity. I've lost 3 hours at a time when I should have been sleeping with this game.

It was until I played this game that I gave the cell gaming market any serious potential v the ds/psp

No phone but the iPhone has Flight Control, therefore all phones except the iPhone suck.

It can play games - sure not every game that the iPhone has, but it can play games, that was my point, using the accelerometer and touch screen as well.

Who is your phone with? Metro PCS?

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #23 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:54:00 PM »

Verizon. It's a technicality that my phone is only $40 a month, my family has at least 5 lines on one account, and each one after the first is $10/month. Still though, my actual umlimited data plan (and all Smartphones on Verizon, unless you use "enterprising") is $30/month, including MMS and SMS. Sure there's a 5GB cap (after 5GB they throttle your download speed), but it's hard to hit that much on a cell phone to begin with, unless it's you're only way to get on the internet.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #24 on:** June 12, 2009, 02:52:35 AM »

Multi tasking, custom apps & 5mp camera sounds good. I'm gonna have to look that phone up.

edit: I can't upgrade till 1 year from monday
