New iPhone 3G officially released
 

Apple's new iPhone 3G is officially released.

I'm liking the price point and 3G...glad I waited for v2!

I'm buying mine July 11th. I was prepared to buy the 3G iPhone for $399. I am glad they threw in the $200 rebate. :cool:


Once again, Apple continues to amaze.

Do you still have to marry AT&T, or will 3G allow you connect to the service provider of choice?

Seems like a cool bit of hardware but AT&T is a deal breaker for me.

Just wait until somebody hacks it, or better yet do it yourself and get a free car. Remember that kid?

Eh, I'd rather have friends instead

Yep, AT&T still has the exclusivity agreement for iPhone service in the US. Honestly, being stuck to AT&T was a deal breaker for me when the iPhone was $599. At $399, I was beginning to come around. At $199, 3G, GPS, and all the new apps, paying a little extra per month is DEFINITELY worth it for me.

If anyone wants to watch Steve Jobs give the Keynote:

Fast forward to about 1:00:00 and start watching there for the last 30 minutes. It is well worth the time. I always wind up watching the keynote for Macworld and the WWDC keynote was on the same level in terms of quality speeches.

Was talking to a rep at the Apple store a few days ago while shopping for a mac for my wife. He told me you can make an Iphone work on any network, however you'll void the apple warranty.

Well, AT&T has increased the price of their service plan $10 a month. I mean, if you want one, get it, but you're not saving money with the $199 price. It'll cost you more over the 2 year contract.

I'm on a Vista PC right now and can't get on the green screen. Anyone know exactly what the FedEx discount is for AT&T? I'm using Sprint right now and the FedEx discount runs about 25% each month.
