All in all I'm pretty satisfied with all the upgrades aside from a 64 GB option. 
That would have been nice.

Perhaps you don't own a 3G or 3GS?.....the plastic has been a horrible experience for most considering the cracking issue....
I haven't seen an Apple product released yet, where some people haven't said the new product was less than what they expected, or didn't meet their hopes/wishes for it. I personally love the iPhone 4 and wish I had a Dolorean to get to June 24th. Anticipation kind of sucks and then if there are supply shortages and I have to wait even longer, AHHHH!
To counter the supply shortages, wait in line
. That's what I'll be doing. I think i'll have to be there earlier than 4AM this time to get the same #14 spot in line 
it was defiantly worth it, its everything we expected and just a bit more. ill be buying one because the money i get from selling my 3gs will cover the coast. i want one now but i cant decide on the collor ahhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhahhhh
Would you care to enlighten us all on what would have made the anticipation worth it for you? Seems pretty dang awesome to me.
Note to common person.
Apple has required huge monetary commitments from ATT. Yes, they like money and they are reaping huge rewards from their ATT relationship. They do not like cellular providers and ATT has let them run the show. Until they allow ATT to benefit from the Apple required commitments AND there is another US carrier willing to dictated to by Apple, or sales of iPhones are disappointing to Apple; don't expect another US carrier.
If you don't like the network - don't buy the phone
even a common person can see that
Sprint is the one that is deceptive since WiMax is not technically 4G. But the iPhone 4 is so named b/c it's the 4th iPhone version. How is that deceptive? If it were named the iPhone 4HD, that would be deceptive b/c it's not HD, despite the improved resolution. Also it would be confusing b/c of the iPads HD apps -- now that name is deceptive b/c the iPad is not HD. At least yet.
the upgrade is always bigger when you skip a generation. going from iphone 2G to 3GS was a big deal. going from 3G to 3GS was not.
the jump from 3GS to iphone 5 will be a bigger deal than jumping to iphone 4. Next year I will upgrade. I just hope my 3GS 32gb holds well in resale value for next year.
for those current iphone 3G users, I think the extra features are well worth the upgrade to iphone 4. The iOS4 by itself is worth it.

I agree. Had AT&T not bumped my upgrade date, I wouldn't be buying one. But since I can and probably break even selling my 3GS, I'll upgrade.
Hook, line, sinker.
+1 more! I am in the same boat as you.
So pleased I resisted the ipad now, this is practically an ipad in your pocket +more.
You misunderstood my point--while the 3G(s) plastic may have been substandard, it's asinine to blindly assume that a generalized idea of a metal is better than a generalized idea of a plastic. There are all sorts of different types/grades of materials, metal and plastic alike. As such, without knowing/understanding the specifics of the materials in use, the poster to whom I responded cannot possibly have known what he/she was talking about. (/end materials engineering rant)
yep, skipping a generation is always a great improvement. 3G to iphone 4, will be a worthwhile upgrade. For me going from original 2G to 3GS was a big deal.
I'm also going from 3G to 4 (actually I'm going from Razr to 4 as my old, beat up 3G got ripped off a couple of weeks ago).
I'm curious about the GPS. The 3G's GPS was barely usable because it was so slow -- was the 3GS's an improvement? Is this the same setup? What is that gyro thing? Is it just for playing games or does it have any practical function w/r/t GPS?
The video chat I don't see myself having any use for at all, but the 5mp camera with HD video seems cool -- and I was impressed by the general thinness.

I think he wanted something that'll help him get laid. Good luck with that.
I'm betting that the video capability will actually HURT him in that endeavor.
You're assuming they have a choice right now. As far as anyone knows, they are still under contract with AT&T. Steve said a few days ago that multiple carriers WOULD be a good thing, hence I have no doubt that's what they would like to do. And why not? More carriers = more potential customers = more revenue. Apple's not the one that loses out by having an unlocked iPhone or at least having it available on multiple carriers. It's AT&T that loses.
9 New features, 3 of which were announced already so he honestly could not find 3 other ones to replace the ones we know about? How good could the other 91 be if he had to duplicate a couple from the iO/S 4 announcement?
I was eagerly looking forward to upgrading to a iPhone 4, 64GB. But now I am just going to wait till my contract is up in December and decide what to do at that point in time.
Doubt it. I'm sure it was just all the wifi usage in the room that caused enough interference to mess with the demo.
very disapponted too. I was waiting for the keynote hoping against hope that another carrier would get the phone. Its not that I dont like At&T its that they have no service in my area...... I spent the money to go to At&t on a cheaper phone just to see if it would work in my area.....not even a hint of a signal. %^&K I wanted that phone ! i love it! Like others Ill have to begrudgingly go to android.................
