Well, 1st problem is its not out for Verizon. Ironically, the shocker phone of the week is the Palm Pre - people waited in line for that, and it was Palm's "Hail Mary", pretty much. Im kinda happy to hear it did well.

I got a Palm Pre this past weekend. All I can say is wow! Im not to big of a techy, but it makes things really easy for you. Had the Htc diamond before the Pre and that thing was a pain im the a@#.

I have the first gen iphone, so maybe when it breaks or something I'll get this. Not too excited to spend another 300 bucks for the phone.

Anyone else hate the term "Jailbroken" or "Jailbreaking?" I know I'm a whiny bitch but those terms absolutely did not exist in reference privilege escalation before the iPhone.

is there a way to get the features of the newest iphone on the 2nd version iphone??

Thread to follow: Apple - Support - Discussions - Questions Regarding the difference ...

Apple - iPhone - Compare iPhone 3G S and iPhone 3G

Some of the features are hardware dependent (e.g., the camera).

I need video (and I am not jailbroken)
 

So for me, I will upgrade.

I was SHOCKED when I bought the 3G. I did not even look to see if it had video because I assume it would. I mean, even cheap/free feature phones have video. I do a lot of mobile posting and not being able to post videos while mobile was a deal breaker (after the fact) for me. So this is the remedy.

That and I am stinking rich and money is no object and I own my own private island, and a yacht, and a ton of fast cars (and of course a fully loaded 370Z). I did all this even though I came to this country broke. I watched a commercial on TV back in the '80s where this Vietnamese guy came to America with no money and in the end he owned a real estate empire (I think he was also a credit card millionaire) and he promised if I bought his system, I would have lots of money, beautiful women and be very powerful. I did and today I am living the American dream. Actually most Americans don't dream as well as I live.

So, I need to get the 3Gs.

Man, I always thought those systems on TV were a scam. Ordering now.

I don't think the differences are enough to have me running to the store to get one. If I had a 2G Iphone I would definitely get one, since most likely I could buy it for the full discount price at 199-299. but since I have the 3G I'm not eligible for the full discount so I would be paying 399-499 for video, voice recognition, and a compass. (The video editing is pretty cool though)

I work for ATT so I've played with all the phones in all major phone companies, and I still think the Iphone is the best phone on the market today, I've played with the Palm pre, many android phones, HTC phones, and every blackberry imaginable. Still vote Iphone as #1. I just wish they changed the 3GS a little more, all I was hoping for was a little thinner, better screen quality, and a much better battery life.

The rumor mill is always going crazy with the Apple products and I was really hoping they were right about the front facing camera, but they weren't. My wife has a 3G which she will keep. I may have to upgrade my 2G though.

can you get picture text now??

yea mms is now available..i think I might buy this phone..twice the speed, twice the memory, better camera, mms, compass etc...i think its worth it..like buying the sport package and nav with touring for the 370z

Iphone 3Gs Tour

MMS will be available on everything but the original iPhone. They say the radio can't handle. Of course that's a lie as evidenced by SwirlyMMS.

It seems Apple is trying to erase the original, better looking iPhone with that claim and offering a larger discount for trading it in compared to the 3G.

oh ok. so how can i get the MMS without getting the new 3gs?
