My 1st iphone: 4 or 4S?

[r.j.s]

So you would pay $1800+ for an unlocked phone in your country. Please, do share where you live. I am sincerely interested.

Brazil; it's further up in the thread.

Holy hell. Google does, indeed, confirm this price. That's... absurd.

Suppose it's worth noting that this is pre-official launch numbers. Once it;s official in the country I doubt it will be that pricey. Dec 16 is the official launch date, for those, like me, wondering.

$1800 US or 1800 Brazil Currency? Regardless, that's INSANE!

Is it still Cruzado? I've been there once.

That's a conversion to US. Actually, the numbers I were seeing were about $1900 USD

no iPhone is worth that much.

Not exactly. The camera is leaps and bounds better, which is important to the OP.

Yes, you got it.
I need a portable camera to take it everywhere.
But, pay attention: I am not saying that I already know the answer ('buy iPhone 4S'). I have never had an iPhone before, so I dont know if the iphone 4 will make a good job.

iPhone 4 camera is decent, but not quite as good as the 4S camera. Shots under fluorescent lighting in particular turn out really badly on the 4

I wouldn't pay $1800+ for any iPhone though. Can you get someone from another country to buy one for you? I just bought an unlocked 32GB 4S the other day for only $793 after tax

Go for the 4s, you'll be glad you did.

Yes, it is! The worst smell in the world, the best view in Sao Paulo ahahah!1

I can assure you that I have been in other places where the local river smell is a thousand times worse than the Tiete.

I haven't been to Brazil, but surely the Tigris smells worse.

Not exactly a river but my vote goes to The Salton Sea.

Most likely BRL1800 ~ US$995. Sounds about right for unofficial release of unlocked iPhone. But still crazy though for a 16GB 4S. Shouldn't cost more than $800 if you ask me. For the price that should've been a 64GB.

But heck, you need it and you can afford it, so .. why not?

I have just ONE concern... I currently own a Nokia 6303i. Battery time? 5 days. Well, I hope I dont get that annoyed charging my future iphone once a day.

Charging once a day is alright, just have the phone next to your bed and plug it in before sleeping.
