4GB iPhone with Video iChat?

Video phoning is too expensive. I'd have to pay at least 1.20€/min using T-mobile in Germany, that's just way to much.

to those people who already have phones capable of video calls - once the original novelty wore off, how often do you actually use that function?

Never. I've used it once. Videocalling would be the last feature that would get me to upgrade. It's useless.

Wow...Does that mean the Canadian cellular company is real? :eek:

Anyway, my take is: I would be pleasantly surprised if this is true. I mean, I wouldn't even mind having it as Wi-Fi only (just as an addition is pretty sweet).

Of course, I just bought my 16GB iPhone 2 months ago, I hope they make this so I can pay full price for another one, haha! :D

Apple store employee's know nothing. When the iPhone was launched I remember as a former employee all of us ran to the back and clamored at the chance to touch one. This was 4 hours before they launched.

I worked at a store that sold the original Mac 128, the first 'real' Macintosh. Yes, we got the sales stuff the day before the launch. We still had a few Lisa's around. They weren't selling.

The wife says that she asked him (batting eyelashes) and he said that he wouldn't sell her any headphones because she was 'going to be sorry and will be back to return them'.

Who knows? Maybe the little things are leaked or they have seen new displays or something... It is after all just a new headphone/headset/earbuds...

I wonder if they sign NDA's or something... I've had store people say they don't know anything with an ear to ear grin before too.

Back on topic: Wouldn't a 4G video chat enabled iphone have to be 3g only and have a lot of cache space? I don't use chat software but I imagine that bandwidth would be key, and local caching, right?
 
4gb makes sense...Computer to phone Video Chat

Apples new IPOD shuffle was a goof flopsickle from the start. They probably have a billion extra 4gb flash memory chips sitting around not being used. So it def makes sense that they will have a 4gb IPHONE...

plus why not? Recession anyone? Not everyone needs 18 thousand TB of space. I know PLENTY of people that only have 200 songs MAX. Cheap IPHONE sounds good...

You can video chat on a computer with about 25kbps... 3g is way faster than that even in a bad area. plus the resolution is by far less on the iphone. Cost of a 2mp camera is as much as a single CHEERIO nowadays.

WHO IS NOT SEEING... ICHAT on a COMPUTER INTERGRATED WITH ICHAT ON A PHONE? How many mac users? How many video chats is that? almost every mac. Very practical. I see more people becoming MOBILE me users out of this. Forget monthly plan on ATT... I see Mobile me being used more...

just because its digital doesnt mean we cant make it easier. Why should I have to retake a picture 346 times to get it right if I can have a little help from a camera on the front... NOT ATTACHED TO A FRIGGAN SUBMARINE TELESCOPE... what a goof troop idea that was. while your at it... add a 17 inch antenna for better reception. give me a break.

new Ipods are getting cameras? makes even more sense for the ICHAT! more people... They already showed rumors of VIDEO MAIL? did they not?

This can go on and on... can I get an AMEN?

You guys are forgetting that Canada does not have unlimited data.

I have the 6gb plan, but that was a promo...iPhone plans are 30 bucks for 1 gig.

If they put in video chat...people are gonna go over their limit every month and be pissed they're paying a ridiculous amount in overage charges.

Also..fido is not getting the iPhones, it's rogers discount brand..they stopped selling new iPhones on fido a couple months ago.

Actually the 6GB for $30 plan is back since yesterday with the release of the HTC Magic and Dream (android phones) that happened yesterday aswell. And the "promotion" ends July 1st if you want to get that plan again, and it is not attached to your IMEI.

SO, I think that since the promotion ends at July 1st for the 6GB - $30 plan, that sometime soon after that date, the new iphone 2009 will come to Rogers.
 
i think a 4gb iphone is verrry unlikely....remember during christmas they dropped the 8gb models cause nobody wanted them? why on earth would they suddenly offer a 4gb unless is was a throw away :D
