lol, i guess some people are just never happy.

Get one of those plastic cases that covers it up dude, no more scratches.

Honestly though, GPS and a $199 entry price... Cheap looking or not, this thing is gonna fly off the shelves even faster than the original.

I know we have high expectations as Apple consumers but I mean, c'mon, give them some credit. Plastic back or not, they satisfied the two most commonly heard rumors this year.

are you kidding me? i'm not going to buy one of these ugly bulky cases.

why can't they offer a third model in metal (even if it's slightly more expensive)...

i can't stand plasticy phones and it's so sad to see the iphone going in that direction.
 
Regardless of what they do now, this is been a massive disappointment. For me at least.

Though I'm disappointed mainly with the delays rather than the specs etc. Though an improved camera would be nice and the plastic back is going to suck big time.

I'm sure they've done it on purpose, to create more free press for themselves when every news site in the ****ing world start talking about the law suits and complaints about scratches making their new iPhones look like dog ****.
 
Correct

Trojanman that's a fact , because practically my whole family is gettin 1
 
Im a little confused (new to the whole iphone scene). Does the new iPhone come out in early July, or is that just new software? Is there an EXACT date for the new iPhone?

A quote from engadget, "Apple will be hitting the 22 biggest markets, including the US, on July 11th." Also I am very dissapointed that they didn't come out with a 32gb version. Just watch the moment I buy a 16gb 3g model is when they'll release a 32gb version two months later
 
Surprised it doesn't roll out to territories that already have it over the next month, but I guess there is a production/training/stocking demand, I suspect if Apple had geared up to sell in their core markets (even if that was just the US) from tomorrow they really couldn't prevented every detail from leaking and pictures being taken, they have a month to shift these to stores without worrying about anything they haven't already talked about leaking.

I would love to be able to head over and buy one tomorrow/next week/next 2 weeks/next 3 weeks but I've been waiting for the 3G iPhone since they released the original so I can cope with a month.

Well, since you care more about a metal back than about 3G or GPS, start trolling eBay now for a 1G iPhone. The good thing is the 1G iPhone's should drop to $199 or below soon ...
