that has to be BS. they told my friend in person today that he could upgrade for a reduced price and keep his unlimited plan.

anybody have any official statements on this?

Wow this thing might just get me away from my BlackBerry. I hated the first iPhone, but it looks like iPhone 4 is miles head of that one.

Connect an external keyboard.

If you prefer working on an external keyboard, iPhone 4 lets you do that, too. It comes with built-in support for Bluetooth-enabled wireless keyboards.

If true this may be at least a temporary deal killer.

Can anyone find something to confirm or deny in writing.

AT&T has replied on their Facebook page indicating that current customers may keep the $30/month unlimited plan even when they upgrade to a new iPhone:

The good news for current customers who love their unlimited plan is this: they are not required to switch, even when it's time to upgrade to a new phone. So you are welcome to keep your unlimited plan

yeah, 24% thinner than a 3GS.

that is just insane. I mentioned earlier but I picked up a Treo 700p the other day and it felt like a walkie-talkie.

I remember a day when people thought Blackberries (the old fat ones) were too annoying to talk on, because of how flat they were. I think I would be using a headset most of the time with the 4. And, I think this is also better for my brain (any thoughts on "that" line of thinking? is it scare-tactics or is there any truth to it?)

i like how they brought the color around the front this time.

used to be just the back cover.. i guess i've always associated apple products with white.. i never understood why they werent popular with the iphones.

Clearly, you dont understand what lengths people will go to.

Especially, to say they made the first feature film shot and edited entirely on a iphone.

yes...no matter what camera does what, someone will ALWAYS want 24p
