There is rumor that a revised iPhone is coming out in January 2011, but this one is for Verizon Subscribers so if you are already on AT&T and not planning on switching, it's a moot point.

Thanks for hoggin all the Dropbox referrals.

Dom, it's a cloud for free for 2GB which increases as you refer more people. I upload some videos I have saved on my laptop to watch in case I'm bored. Some people put up important documents in case their computer fails but I have those backed up.

They (Apple) has announced new Iphone hardware every year for the last 4 years at the end of June early July and shipped by September. It's a foregone conclusion that there will be new hardware this year, although it will likely only be small tweaks like the 3Gs was.

You most likely would have gotten screwed if you went with used. The phone company can tell what device you are using and if it's an iphone, they will force the data plan on you regardless of whether you asked for it or wanted it.
As I found out (the hard way) buying used only makes sense if you are unlocking it to be used with a different carrier.

When your phone arrives, go tot the app store and search for "NHL gamecenter". Very good app for the puck heads. Even if their team is teh suxor

That was uncalled for...
Every time I'm around a Rogers store I'll pop in and check to see if there's any 4's in stock...There never is, so if I can put my name on one before they arrive I'd do that...

How did your upgrade work? Like, they didn't have it in stock when you went, so did you do the upgrade and now you're just waiting for it to arrive at the store?

2 co-workers were checking with their store every day and it eventually came in, after a couple of weeks.

I was on a corporate plan so I had to call rogers to change plans. They said I have to call every day and ask if its in
. Makes no sense to me but he said ordering it and shipping when it comes in didn't work well with the 3Gs so they're asking people to either check their stores every day, or in my case call in.
Said it should be about 2-3 days.

Here's a brilliant idea... Carry enough stock to keep up with the demand

A few more questions.
1. The iPhone (4) does consistantly update and let you know if you got an email or someone posted something on your facebook. I'm thinking of the min $15 data plan. Will that pretty much use it up? Let's assume I keep the phone on (stand by) 24/7.
2. Can I turn these auto update features off. And only update (my email notification) as I go into the email app? So I'm not using up my data plan.
3. A friend wants to sell me some iHome stuff and other docking things. They work great, etc, but he has a 3GS. Will the docking things work with the iPhone 4? Is it a direct fit and all the controls (volume, mute, etc) should work?
4. Do most of you get insurance on the phone?
Thank you.

2. Yes you can customize which applications you receive push notifications for.
3. All of our docks work with my 4, my brother's 3GS and my sister's iPod touch.
4. AFAIK, AT&T doesn't offer insurance on for the iPhone but there are other places that do. I've never had insurance on any of my 3 iPhones.

Keep in mind the trade-in is for a shack gift card....not cash....and the $50 discount shows up on your next ATT bill as a credit.

1st icon refreshes the server and downloads any new mail
2nd icon moves your currently open message to a different folder.
3rd icon deletes your mail (i dont know how you couldnt figure this out it puts up a big red "delete message" button
4th is replay
5th is new message.
