11:33 a.m. -- Jobs is showing why 3G is faster/better than EDGE. It takes 21 seconds for complex web site to fully load. Same site on EDGE takes... 59 seconds. 2.8 times faster. compared to Wi-Fi, it's very close. Same site is 17 seconds on Wi-Fi. "It's amazingly zippy". It takes 33 seconds for N95 and 34 seconds on Treo 750 to load same site. Now onto email. It takes five seconds for an email attachment compared to 18 seconds for EDGE. But how about battery life? Standby time is up to 300 hours. For 3G talktime, up to five hours. For browsing 5-6 hours. Video is 7 hours and audio is 24 hours. GPS is also going into the iPhone 3G. (Big applause) You can now track yourself using GPS.

Wow, nobody could have predicted that...


It's a fucking phone, who gives a shit. And a year from now you'll shell out another couple hundred bucks when Apple orders you to.

Yep, that's how I felt too.... until I bought one. First phone whose browsing and messaging capabilities I actually use.

I have to agree... I use my Iphone just about everyday to surf the web an read GFY. I fully charge it overnight and by the time I goto bed it's got about 12% battery life left... so I'm using the crap out of it.

I have owned just about every smart phone out there and the Iphone is the FIRST one that you can actually enjoy using the net on. Not to mention how nice the email works... I have PDF files sent to me all the time... and they open up and are as easy to read as on my main computers.

I'm ready for the new version. I really have been missing the 3g. I hate Edge so much that I actually have a Sprint Merlin EX720 in a Wipip Cradlepoint and a serve myself a wifi link from my Pathfinder, just so I don't have to use the edge. (Course it's also nice that I can also access via my other laptops and my friends laptops etc...

Wifi is very spotty in and around the Cincinnati area so it's been a big help to me.

Twice the speed - 1/2 the price

I'm psyched. Can't wait to get one on July 11th. :)

any software updates for the existing iphone on the way?

Yes, iPhone 2,0 software will be free for all iPhone users

yes 2.0 in early July

Well first of all here in america the Iphone will only work if you have at&t. some of us prefer to use other carriers. But being this is an Apple product it doesn't surprise me that they make the Iphone MORE difficult for the consumer to get than easier.

Secondly wow a 3g phone so now you can hit your 5 GB monthly cap even faster! yeah!

Some nice features on this update....

Unlimited data here in the states for iPhones

any info on the monthly plans yet?

i have a feeling they might want to raise them to make up for the less revenue of the unit itself.

3G network is def cool, but is only available in certain areas (that I know about). I had a wireless card for my laptop and worked perfectly when I was in LA. In central PA (harrisburg) its slow. As much as id like to get a new iPhone, if there is no 3G network here, waste of money.

Id like to see a 32GB iPhone with copy/paste functions and bluetooth connect ability. i keep loosing that damn cord

It sure sucks they only come in black and white. I thought they were coming out with more colors.
My wife wants a pink one. :disgust

Im am fucking getting it too! No excuse even if my wife wants her nails made!

:winkwink:

They will have one for valentine's day 2009 i bet.

super update :)

New 3G iphone rules.

NOW the iphone is a worthy phone, without 3G and GPS it was just a bad joke. I don't care how pretty the browser is when its slower than dialup, when you have 3G with unlimited data you can simply plug it into your laptop and ENJOY using the internet at near DSL speeds. the old EDGE is worse than dialup.

see an old thread by me... Garmin Mobile XT on my wifes mogul is BADASS. Once these 3G's are unlocked does anybody know if I can bring it over to sprint?

Link?

As far as I know at&t has a 5 GB monthly cap.

fuck, i cant wait a month ;(
I want an iphone now! Its going to be wonderful to be away from home and be able to check my sites and emails. I feel like a prisoner to my office now.

Thanks MichaelP, but I think they have one coming out real soon. I saw an add for it in April. I really don't want to paint the phone....if you know what I mean :winkwink::winkwink:

I would have probably not even been hooked if it wasn't for AaronM and Deej having laughs on us because my wife and myself were not familiar with the iPhone or what it was capable of...... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
We had seen ads, but never paid it much attention......

Let's not forget it has built in GPS too! :D

Here is the Pink iPhone http://pinkiphone.net/

So it should be coming soon :)

I wasn't too impressed,thought it was gonna have video conferencing, oh well, maybe that will be next year.

the built in gps is cool.
i've been using 3g with my blackjack for a while now.
