WRONG.....if you really were an Apple "fanboy" you like everything Apple breathes on before you even see it...and to refer to an Apple product as "not that great" eliminates your memebership to the fanboy club

What else did you expect aside from a 64GB option? Anyone with half a brain knew it wouldn't be 4G because there is no AT&T 4G in the US and won't be for at least six months. The whole bloody thing got a makeover. I don't know what else could be expected.
Since you seem to be a materials expert, why exactly would you prefer steel to aluminum? More importantly, what is the benefit of metal over a high-quality plastic? Do you have hardness figures to cite? How about providing a deformation curve or two to show that the metals will elastically deform better? Or more to the point, citing reasonable tolerances for what you'd expect in the materials used? Also, I'm sure you've taken into account the fact that the plastic case will allow for better reception, right?
Very disappointing keynote
Once again we see the iphone chained to at&t and all the future iphone owners that wont commit to at&t get a very disappointing day. I cannot believe that apple wont see that people want more carries in the US and that a monopoly will hurt the iphone. We need more iphone carriers; competition will benefit the customers. Is apple about the customers? After viewing the google key note on froyo and the deception of the iphone 4 stuck on at&t, we will see millions of android phones sales starting today. I myself was waiting todays keynote to decide and apple you have made my choice and android. I believe that many users like me will be getting an android device and we will be able to see this boom once the statistics on the sales get revealed.

They want it to print money and fire laser beams and have a built in teleporter. But seriously, I respect the OP's opinion but in my opinion the iPhone 4 is great. It has a bunch of things that I don't need/use but are there if I want to use them one day and all for the same price (that may sound like I was being sarcastic but I'm not). The improved camera with flash, HD video recording, Video chat. Yes, I'll probably rarely use any of these features but they are there if I want to use them. Plus the better screen, processor, and battery life is just more icing on the cake.
Excellent point! That alone makes it a worthwhile update for me. Add the faster chip, etc and it's easy to say yes to this one. As has been mentioned by others, people are always disappointed that Apple's iPhone upgrades don't include everything everyone wants, but that doesn't make it less enticing! (at least not for me)
I actually think the hardware upgrade is pretty good (though we still don't know the specs for how much RAM it has...). Radio support would have been the only thing I'd have liked, though potentially it has been wired up this time...
The lack of work on the OS and the knowledge it really is as meh as we thought is the thing that's disappointing.

The one feature I most wanted (a 4.3 inch screen) is the one feature that's missing from this phone.
You can see in the pics, they made the phone a few mms longer, but the screen is a tiny bit smaller than the 3GS screen!
However, everything else got a massive upgrade so I will upgrading as well.
Just wish it had a 4.3 inch screen is all.

New antenna system.
Noise canceling.
Of course, we don't know until we get some reviews and hands on (which will be happening soon). But these changes seems to address the two items you are concerned with.

I have an iPhone 3G and going from the 3G to the 4 is HUGE. I can't be more excited right now. All you people being negative Nancys can't bring me down.
I remember when the 3GS came out, the people that were eligible to upgrade to it were saying that the 3GS is the major update to the iPhone and the next one will just be a minor. The people that were not eligible to upgrade were saying the opposite. So basically it all comes down the each person's own perspective, and whether or not they are eligible to upgrade.
Don't blame aggie, he obviously wasn't paying attention for that section. Excuse his ignorance.
Jobs calls it iPhone 4 instead of iPhone HD to confuse the average Joe into thinking that it is a 4G device.... deceptive!
Sprint has the only 4G device, and I switched to it last Friday. I still use Mac's, but no more "walled garden" iPhone toys.
