So, who's getting a 3G iPhone?

This is a discussion about So, who's getting a 3G iPhone? within the iPhone section, where you will Learn to Jailbreak your iPhone, install custom software, and discuss anything about your iPhone.; I'm thinking about it, the main reason why I didn't get a 1st gen was the lack of 3G. If it's not subsidized, I'm not getting it now. But I think to get the subsidized

I'm thinking about it, the main reason why I didn't get a 1st gen was the lack of 3G. If it's not subsidized, I'm not getting it now. But I think to get the subsidized price you have to be a new customer or out of contract, so it's time to wait the week (or a day).

It's going to need some more than just 3G for me to buy it. I am hoping for GPS, video, and a 5MP camera. They need to do these things to stay ahead of the N95.

BoneCrif is on a distinguished road
I expect the 8GB to be replaced by the 16GB, and the 16GB to be replaced by the 3G.
when that happens, i'm buy the 16GB with my gift card from yourfreeiPhone.com
when I get the 16GB iPhone, i'm going to unlock it and mod it so I can used TMobile.

T Sizzles, Any word on being able to trade in your old iPhone and pay a price for the 3G? My girlfriend really wants to do that.

The keynote is going on right now:
Steve Jobs keynote live from WWDC 2008 - Engadget

I've never heard of being able to trade in a phone for another before. I don't think it would be a possibility.

Apple stock dropped $5 since the start of the keynote, announce the damn 3G iPhone now so I can haul *** to the Apple store

Ok. Steve is talking now. Here comes the big announcements!

Rumors are saying that 3G boxes are showing up at Apple Stores.

3G iPhone ANNOUNCED! AND IT'S GOING TO BE CHEAPER! FLUSH HEADPHONE JACK! WAKE THE CHILDREN!

So, I was at the Mall today and I saw the "Helio" store.
Is it really the "iPhone/SideKick killer" ?
It also said that it's the largest 3G network.

Helio is a MVNO that uses Sprint's network.
And no, none of their phones compare to the iPhone or Sidekick.

Now I really want the 3G iPhone, I didn't get the first because I knew there would be a better one out a few months later.

I'm so happy it's $199, though I'd get the 16GB version.

I still have this side of me that wants to wait for a 32GB one so I can replace my iPod while I'm at it.

Dont EVER say anything good about the sidekick -_-

I sold mine for a samsung blast.... Did you know if you dont get the sidekick plan it is a known issue that your sim card can and will be erased? yea, they didnt tell me that until I lost all my numbers, songs, and games TWICE. And they arent even doing anything to fix it.

As for the iphone, its too big, its a palm pilot for those who even know what they are... They just tacked a phone on there and said "We are apple, please crank one out to this product" It works great, as an everything but phone. Im sorry, but I would rather pay less and get a better functioning device. I dont need an Mp3 player, I have an Mp3 player for that. I dont need web browsing, I have a computer for that. I dont need GPS, because I dont get lost while still inside my cellphones network.

It just seems like everyone is making a huge deal about the most expensive phone in history... And Im wondering what happened to people actually comparing price to what they actuall want, need, and will use, rather than saying "My phone can do ALL of these things yours cant!!!".... I say "My phone can make phone calls and text and take pictures..... thats all I need, want, or will ever use."
