Ok so im a noob... will someone help me?
1. Im using the old iPhone 3G 8GB. If i want to upgrade to the new one, 16GB, how much will it cost and when can I do it? My contract expries this coming Sept.
2. What will the no-contract price be for the new 16GB? Can I do it the day it comes out? Can I buy/do that online?
thanksss
1. You answered your own question: September. Fees include activation and whatever else AT&T likes to throw in.
2. The no contract price still means you're locked to AT&T. It's something like $499/599. Anyway, why not wait until you're eligible for the discounted rate? Check the webpage or call AT&T for eligibility information.
Video calling is overrated. It's been around for 6+ years here in the UK and regardless of network quality, people just don't use it as much as the marketing types thought they would.
Well, the whiners kept crying about it, so we have it now.
LOL you must live in some real rural area, I can't go 5 feet in all of Souther California or NYC without maybe 10 wifi hot spots, lol
I live in Dallas and there's hardly a free wi-fi spot around.
MicroSIM - HUGE LETDOWN, REALLY HUGE
Are you really surprised? After I saw it used in the iPad, I figured they were bringing it to the iPhone too.
Either that, or next year's iPhone will be more of an " S⃣ " type upgrade with 64GB of storage and a few other tweaks but the same casing. Meaning that we only get a truly new version of the iPhone on a bi-yearly basis.
I'd prefer a real upgrade only every two years. This way, I don't have to listen to the whiners. They keep crying about how they're
entitled to a brand new iPhone every year.
lol @ ignorance. Musta been one of those unhappy Sprint customers from 5+ years ago, huh? Network AND customer service (that idiots still point to as being a negative) are outstanding! Not to mention saving a butt load of cash on top of that.
Sprint sucks in Dallas right now. My friend switched to Sprint from Verizon, because she hates Verizon's guts. She's been unhappy about missed calls, texts, voicemails that come days later, etc.
Why is it that everyone thinks CDMA is so terrible?
I know that I'll never go CDMA as long as I want to travel overseas. You can't drop a SIM into a CDMA phone--unless it's one where GSM capabilities are added (and that doesn't count).
Am I the only noting that this is still a 3G phone? I thought it was going to be 4G... all the screenshots show either WiFi or 3G symbol. Methinks this is why AT&T is being so "generous" w/ their 6 month early upgrade ability - because they want to lock you into 3G for another 2 years.

AT&T is a ways away from rolling out 4G service.
Can someone provide me with info on how to purchase the Iphone 4 WITHOUT going on a contract with AT&T?
How do you buy it outright and how much is it?
Just make plans to go on vacation where unlocked iPhones are sold. There's some lovely countries including: Hong Kong, Italy, Australia, etc. Of course, you'll also have to pay full price for the phone. That depends on the currency valuation. I heard the euro isn't doing so well, so you might make like Bernie Madoff. Don't forget to send us postcards from wherever you decide to go.
I was really hoping for 64GB. So now I'm going to wait and see if the hackers can unlock it. If they can, I'll get the 32GB in black. And I'm definitely ordering online. It's already hitting 100 in Dallas. I refuse to bake.
