So yeah, after being leaked heavily (twice, once by Gizmodo, another by some guy in Thailand), will this product have any momentum with what it's offering?

My two cents: I'll wait until launch day...... to get a 3GS for $99 possibly. Or just skip it anyway.

So, is it worth anything?

Ew, why is it gold? iPhone Blingtastic Edition? I'll pass.

It still comes in black, they just added an extra colour, white.
I'm more excited about OS4 for my iPod to be honest rather than this.

I thought the 3G was 99$ and the 3GS was starting at 149$?
Anyways, this thing has some really cool features, so it's really tempting.
Also +1 for making iOS 4 free.

The Internet is a glimpse of how rude people will be in the future.

I like the old design better. However, it looks like it's added some pretty neat features like voice chat over WiFi. May need to upgrade when my contract ends... Does more than an iPad at any rate.

I am way too lazy to think of something clever.

Id get it if I were AT&T, because it has some cool features. But im Sprint so im gonna get an Evo when I upgrade.
The EVO already has many of the iPhone 2's features (two cameras, HD Video, apps, folders, etc) plus other ones (Live TV, kickstand, 4G, tethering, expandable memory, larger screen, better camera, HDMI, etc) so its not that bad

Well... Since Apple is still sticking with AT&T, which has craptasitic service in my area (a friend of mine had 7 dropped calls in half an hour and couldn't get a 3G signal in our apartment, even though we are in a major city) I won't be getting one. May look into a Droid since my current phone is up for free/cheap replacement and I intend to stick with Verizon for a while anyway. Also, Android supports Flash, which many sites still use, unlike the iPhone. Nothing says arrogance than refusing to support a still widely used technology just because you want to support a new tech.

Same happened to me. I might just get a Kin instead.

While i agree lack of flash is stupid i see why they did it. Flash is horrible on mobile devices. Also most websites have been switching to HTML5 modes for mobile devices.

@hobbes.... I love my Droid!

This new iPhone is still fantastic though. The HD Video is amazing and the screen packs more pixels than has ever been dreamed of in such a small screen. The ability to multitask and folder applications are immediate wins for anyone who ownes a data phone will know exactly what that means to them. Its a great upgrade, but to me still now leaving my great phone carrier to go to AT&T for.

You do know that the iPhone isnt the only nor the first phone to shoot HD video, right?

If every phone I've ever had with AT&T didn't hate receiving calls, sending texts, you know all the little things that require some sort of signal, I'd really wanna try this.

Unfortunately out of all the amazing things phones can now do, I still like mine to be able to call people. Crazy, I know.

Yeah, this is my issue too, though it has been getting better (you'd hope anyway, given we pay enough for it). My biggest beef isn't that the service is bad, it has been improving and is certainly acceptable for the most part where I live (DC). It's that I could go on T-Mobile, which now has better service for like $30 less a month for the same plan. Verizon's the best, but since the iphone uses sim cards, it wouldn't be a possibility to move the phone over to them. Do they have an Android phone? I've heard nothing good about the touchscreen blackberry.

Anyway, the pixel density and multitasking capability are what would make me want to upgrade, though in reality, those are all just neat little unnecessary extras over my iPhone 3G. I would just jailbreak the phone and move it over to T-mobile, but I'm worried about being screwed when the little timer goes off and it dies 10 days after my contract expires....

I really want one, but I'm not willing to switch carriers/lose my £15/mo. tarriff over it. I'm not bothered about a data plan because I mainly want the UI/music+phone player aspect and hop-on/hop-off Wi-Fi connectivity when needed.

So, if 3 ever carries it and I happen to have a few hundred quid to spare it's mine (at this rate I'll probably have to wait for 3 to get bought out though).
