3G iPhone: Thinner, Thicker, or Both?

If you buy now you're insane.

Jesus, exercise some control - it's only a week away! 😉

Is there a guarantee I could have an unlocked 2.0 in my hand a week from now without paying exorbitantly more even if its instantly available once Steve Jobs allegedly announces it? Some people are sure it won't be available till fall. *shrug* And part of my point is that I may still want a 1.0 anyway... so maybe waiting isn't necessary.

Control has never been my strong suit, I readily admitted that in my first post. 😛

Any one noticed that you can no longer buy the iPhone on Apples Online store.

lol 😉

Here's my dilemna. ~snip~

You have three options:
1. Buy the iPhone as soon as it comes out, you have a brand new edge phone before almost everyone else for $600.
2. Buy the iPhone as soon as it drops to $400, you didn't get it straight away, but you got a great price.
3. Wait for the 3G iPhone that is rumoured to definitely come out in June.

Hmmm... I've noticed that you are way too late for options 1 & 2. 😀 However, if you still want an outdated phone and can't wait a week or two for a new one, I'm sure someone will be more than happy to pawn a used one off on you while they get GPS, 3G, whatever other goodies come. 😱

rumoured to definitely

Isn't that an oxymoron? Is it RUMORED or DEFINITE? 😀

I guess it is a "rumor" that it is definitely coming in June. I get it now.😛

I got your point. Sure, I'm too LATE for #1. and #2. but IF #3 happens, and are indeed available in June, it will be too EARLY to get an unlocked one for a decent price. So I'm stuck waiting again. I waited so long in the first place because I am locked into t-mobile and didn't want to pay $800+ for an unlocked one. They only relatively recently came down to less than $100 over retail.

So, now I'll stop hijacking this thread with my dilemma. There's justification for either way. FWIW, I think I will wait, and if I can't get a decent price on an unlocked 2.0, or get the nerve to unlock one myself, I'll buy someone's reject. 😎 I'm just not good at waiting.

Oxymoron was intended. The point is that though we are basing this off of rumours, it's highly likely that there is a 3G iPhone coming out (soon). 😎

Why get someone else to open your brand new iPhone and unlock it? At the moment, ZiPhone and pwnage (I think) are the two main 1 click unlocking programs - I've never heard of them bricking a phone (not that I've looked). That said, the new software may be more secure and less prone to unlocking. There are other ways around this, eg. a sim adaptor that makes any phone think an AT&T sim is inserted.

The point is, at this stage, you are getting a raw deal if you buy now. Even if the 3G iPhone comes out and it's not to your needs, there will be clearances of old ones and plenty to choose from on ebay, so there's only an advantage of waiting as you get the choice. 🙂

Hi, I was just thinking, has much been said about how powerful the processor in the next iphone will be, or how much ram it will have? My current iphone occaisionally has to stop and think about things and with all these programs due out soon, surely that will only get worse... A quicker, more powerful iphone would be nice!

Just thought I'd put some variation into the "will it be slightly thicker, will it be slightly thinner, will it have 3g" debate...
