I know what you are saying but its all speculation at this point, nobody knows what Jobs is going to do and I signed up for a data plan a month ago.

Moreover, I will test it for a week around the home and work to see how bad it is and last but not least 99% of the iphones are kept in a case anyways...


No, it's known that they adjusted the design and the new ones are coming...

Agreed!! It's not thread hijacking if it's on pg 8, right? ;)

Open source, user controlled, open everything.
and my larger-than-iphone screen is clear and sharp too!
No itunes, no need to jailbreak, but alas, I guess I'll never be hangin with the cool kids :)

^ Just curious how much is your monthly bill? Cuz I tried to negotiate with Rogers but my plan is heavily discounted so they are not budging on the price of the 3gs, $99. That's why I thought might as well get the 4 for $199 (speculation, at this point).

i went with the 50/month plan...difference between buying at best buy versus rogers or other provider is that only provider can offer corporate discounts...best buy gave me the phone but could only offer plans from their book...still got a couple of extras for going with 3 year plan....i usually keep phones for a long time so 3 years not a problem..

So much for taking the day off to line up at 8 am to get the iphone 4. People lined up since 3 am and one Rogers store only got 17 and the other 5. All sold out and no iphone for me :(. Got a picture taken and interviewed by Milton Champion at least...but I doubt it will appear as the line up at the store across was more impressive and the girl ran over to get their story :).

Ok, time to wake up the wifey and tell her that I took the day off to spend it with the family....hehehehe

:( I am travelling next Tuesday for the next few weeks and was hoping to get upgraded before then. Oh well! Geek stuff can wait till I get back...

I have never understood people who wait in line all night long for anything... except maybe for a house... lol

The only place I didn't go to was Bestbuy since I already signed up for data a month ago through Rogers so my HUP can only be done at a Rogers store now...

Because I'm like a broken record ;)

Also, nerds don't buy iPhones or iPads. We are the ones making fun of them (or jailbreaking them).

If I went back in time and told my highschool past self that in the no too distant future, there would be wannabe nerds. I think my head would have exploded.
