    iPhone 2.0 with More Features and Cheaper: Who's Buying?

    I am

    Now that they have slashed the price and added the 3G option, the iPhone is a bargain to say the least. The software has also been improved and the list of available applications is extensive.

    Only drawback is of course the camera, which at 2 megapixel no longer reflects competitive standards

    Who here already owns or plans to go grab one on July 11?

    I just got the new Motorola Z8 phone. It has all the latest gadgets. Its not a touch screen though. Its the hinged slider phone. It has the fastest download speeds(3g), fastest video player, etc out right now on a phone. It can take up to either 4 or 8 gb memory card as well. It too has a 2mp camera.

    So I wont be grabbing the new iphone. Wonder what the price of the iphones will go to ?

    It's $200, but you need to commit to a 2-year contract with AT&T

    Thats what I paid for my phone. Not a bad price at all. Its unlocked so I have no contract. My provider is AT&T still though. I have such a good rate locked in with them since Ive been with them so long, I have never switched carriers.

    I was going to get one on the 11th but I can't have a camera at my current job so I'm going to wait till Sept. You can get one for the old price with no contract too. I don't think I'll be doing that. I already use AT&T so it's no biggie to sign up for 2 more years.

    Haha, nice!

    I was going to grab one myself but decided against it for now. Maybe in a month or two when the hype has settled a bit and all components are stable.

    I love MOST of it. Everyting ON this phone is great. It's the few things that aren't that are annoying though.

    1) No MMS. This means no...uhm....."pics" from girls or to them etc. (How the hell am I supposed to txt flirt now?? Seriously I totally use this)

    2) Bluetooth only connects to a headset. I know, most of you only need that if even that. I however am one of those that will use every last bit of tech to it's fullest. I use bluetooth to file share between my phone and either other phones of my computer or whatever. I should be able to send a pic to another phone via bluetooth or sync my iTunes that way or whatever.

    3) Can't fwd txts. I get jokes from people I might want to forward on to a few peeps. Can't. Gay

    4) No video. (Well that's all I need to say there)

    5) No im clients. No Google talk app, no Yahoo IM app = no way are you kidding?? I CAN DL AIM though. So idk why not the others. At least Google is so forward thinking that they have a web based IM client designed for Google talk on the iphone and it's close enough to an app. I NEED Yahoo IM. That's where all the ladies that I need the MMS are!!
