New 3g Iphone

DAISH · 06-09-2008, 02:45 PM

So..finally..steve just annouced new 3G Iphone!

8G $199(Black)/16G $299(Black&White)

Thinner, Apps friendly, GPS, Low price, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, more language choice, mobile ME, etc etc

Coming 7/11

FYI
AT&T informed us that anyone who bought an iPhone after May 27th will be able to swap out their handset with no additional charges for an iPhone 3G. What about everyone else? If you signed a 2-year contract with AT&T when the iPhone came out (which you pretty much had to), you'll have to sign another new 2-year contract to score a new iPhone 3G. The good news is that AT&T will allow you to overwrite your old contract with your new contract. In other words, you're just locked into another 2 years, not 3.

iPhone do not require a plan if you are already an ATT customer.

will there be a 3G firmware update for existing iphone customers?

SteveMondragon · 06-09-2008, 03:42 PM

What I'm really looking forward to is the huge sale of 1st version iPhones being sold in the next month before the release of the iPhone 3G. Perfect time to pick up a slighly used iPhone for around $100, unlock it, and throw in my Prepaid T-mobile SIM card into it (that I use maybe once a month, if that) and have WiFi for internet access when needed.... just to have a 'cool' looking phone

The $199/$299 prices mean that you have to lock into a 2-year plan with AT&T.

No this is not possible, because the hardware inside is completely different.

You will get the 2.0 firmware update for free though.

Sorry, we don't have pictures but Apple took us into a dramatically lit back-room to check out the new iPhone 3G. Here's what you need to know:

* We did a quick data test -- at our location we went from 104Kbps on the EDGE iPhone to 215Kbps on the 3G model. 2x ain't bad, yo.
* The enable/disable 3G setting is real, and buried a few menus deep. There is no automatic switching, Apple just assumes you'll leave 3G on, and that the iPhone has the juice to support that usage.
* WiFi is still 802.11b/g, no support for n yet.
* Yes, that GPS is A-GPS, just as we mentioned.
* Geotagging photos is a thumbs-up. We were deep indoors though, so native GPS wasn't working and we couldn't get a clear idea of satellite acquisition time.
* The screen looks exactly the same -- maybe a tiny bit brighter, but the unit was new, so it'd be negligible.
* The camera is identical to the first -- 2 megapixels. No front-facing camera (of course).
* It's certainly thicker feeling, but they rocked it Treo-style and really tapered those edges, so it just doesn't feel that different. But because of that curved back, it'll dance around on your table a little more than your completely-flat original iPhone.
* The plastic back didn't feel too cheap. In fact, it felt pretty solid. It's very clossy, so it'll pick up fingerprints just as well as the glass up front (yay).
* It comes with a ridiculously, absurdly small power adapter. It basically looks like a tiny square with a USB port on one side, and power prongs on the other. It will power any other iDevice (iPod touch, 1st gen iPhone, etc.), and sell separately for those that want a smaller adapter.
* The dock (now sold separately) and adapter (if you want an extra) will both go for something like $29, although that price is not yet confirmed.
* No mention was made of copy/paste, MMS, etc.
* Yes, original iPhones are totally gone, you won't be seeing those made anymore. Long live the aluminum back!

I highly doubt that to be true. Just like every other time you buy a new phone, if you get the special price, you re-sign a contract. I'm sure the new iPhone will be exactly the same way.

Nyulak · 06-09-2008, 06:59 PM

Going from G1 to G2 iPhone will cause your AT&T plan to get replaced with the new plan, but it will not extend your contract per AT&T. Although the phones are cheaper, the unlimited 3G plan now costs $10 more per month.
