Re: iPhone 2.0
 

I saw this, I paid $200 for a 4gb replacement less than two months ago :(

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Who cares? The iPhone 2.0 software will be a FREE upgrade for exiting iphones. You get all of the new software features.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Yea, but I don't get 3g or GPS. Google Maps with live tracking would rock.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

I may actually buy one of these at this point

I really wanted a phone with GPS, guess I'll look into what a plan costs and how good th GPS is (features).

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

The cheapest iPhone plan is $60/month I do believe.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

our company will be actually switching to iphones. I hate mac but iphones are pretty darn cool.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Is this still Sprint-only or whoever they were with for the original launch?

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Still AT&T only in the U.S., and it will be for a long time. Many of my friends are considering switching service providers now that there are many more features and a price of $200.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Yes its currently AT&T but easily hackable using jailbreak. unless this ill change with the new iphone.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

I highly doubt it. It'll be cracked in a heartbeat.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Anyone know if it supports dial-up networking for a blutooth or USB tethered PC? I have a VZ6700 right now and need to use it to dial in to the net from wherever I might be for work.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

These are cool, and the price point is finally in the right place, but I think I'm still gonna hold out for the new/not out yet Blackberry Bold(mainly for typing/email reasons).

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

So my iphone is really retarded. I went to the apple store and they told me to try a few things and if its still retarded then bring it back and they will give me a new one. So do you think if I wait then they will give me the "new iphone"?

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

I haven't heard if this is available yet. This would be BIG for me, but I've gotten by with just the 'basic' feature set :)

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

possibly... it cant hurt to give it a few weeks if you can make it that long.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

I doubt it, they have stacks of refurb'd ones for warranty swaps.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Can you reserve an iphone? or do you have to chance getting one on the launch date?

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Yes, its called go wait in line ;)

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Apple is allowing all iPhones purchased since May 26th to be returned for full credit by people wanting the new iPhone instead. I think that is pretty nice of them.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

They started doing this a few years back if I remember correctly. It started because everyone knew when a new product upgrade would be released and sales a month prior would plummet.

Re: iPhone 2.0
 

Got the 2.0 firmware on my 1.0 phone today, works pretty good!

For those looking for a nice phone, I would consider buying a used v1 iphone and unlocking it. It's cheap and still a *very* nice phone. I still love mine. Sorry to say though, I will be saying goodbye to it soon....

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

Thats cause you are way to ballin' to not have the new hotness.

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

Too bad their activation servers are down today :) Who says M$ is the only one that are n00bs. At any rate I'm buying one and praying they jailbreak it sooner than later... I give it a week or less. Then it's time to pray that they make a divx codec/player for it so I can watch my pirated movies on it, without having to convert it.

For now I'll just have to settle for playing GT2 on it and looking like a t00l that sold out to Apple.

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

iTunes store is down, no update for me :(

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

So I got my phone upgraded to the new 2.0 software yesterday, works perfect. I have a copy of the firmware if you are dying for it, let me know ;)

iPhone 3G in hand, but goddamn iTunes store is dead in the water, so its sitting here lifeless, and my old phone is deactivated :(

Shawn, think fast:

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

Sooooo can V1 phones be unlocked and used on say the Sprint network?

I know nothinnnng about phones, as i've used the same one for going on 5 years now.


2mins of research tells me it will not work, as these phones only work on GSM networks.

These phones look cool, but the data plan is rape.

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

Yeah I agree, I was going to switch and get it but the extra 30-50 bucks on top off of the plan is kinda high for me right now. Even more so considering that 3g isn't even in the duluth area yet.

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

It is an expensive plan, but when you consider the fact that pretty much any other pda/smart phone will end up being the same price monthly when you add unlimited data access and txts on top of a calling plan, you'll end up paying approx. the same anywhere. When I had my blackberry it cost me $70 a month for unlimited data, 400 txts, enterprise email, and the cheapest T-Mofo calling plan, and I believe that is approx. what the first AT&T plan costs for the iPhone. It's sad though, because in countries like India, Japan, etc, cell phones and service are dirt cheap, same phones and better phones I might add.

Re: iPhone 2.0 / 3G
 

you can unlock the first generation iphone and run it on T-mobile no problem. All you need to do at T-mobile is buy their Tzones $5.99 plan and you have unlimited internets.
