Photo of 3G iPhone?

Fake.. its all scratched on the back!

even if it was to look like that, still wouldnt buy one. I like the aluminum back cover.

I am against it because it is yet another way for the wireless companies to premium charge for what should be priced as a commodity. AT&T charges $0.30 per MMS.

See this article.http://equityprivate.typepad.com/ep/2008/04/the-five-circle.html

By not including it, perhaps Apple is forcing the issue, I don't know.

Again UK market is very different. I don't pay a premium for sending an MMS and those that are it is part of their free limit usually in the region of 1 MMS = 4 SMS. But still this arguemnt isn't really an argument as to why not including it.

As I said it is conceivable that this phone has been testing for quite some time and is scratched.

Uh... what?
MMS plans cost money.
And receiving emails IS free. :confused:

Data rates on phones means it is not free to receive (and requires setup on the phone) where as it is free to receive MMS.

Again UK market is different to the US. MMS (plans) are either free or very cheap as it is usually s scalar on SMS rates.
 
You make good points xUKHCx. I definitely agree it's something they should have included.

I was simply saying not everyone would need it, but you're right. Not everyone needs exchange support. Hell, I never use the stocks app. So much so that I relegated it to a screen by itself!
 
Fake. The perspective of the Apple logo is off a bit. It's like the left side of the logo is engraved deeper than the other side. Plus, it's just not Apple-like because the top looks more round than the bottom.

I agree, there is something about the current iPhone that makes it stand out, this just looks like any other phone to me.

Idk, I just hope the next iPhone keeps the chrome rim. That's my favorite part of the design really. Other than the screen, of course.
 
I really doubt the "new iPhone" will be anything like "New Coke"

Within this May/June/July timeframe three cosmic events in my world coincide:

1) iPhone w/ 3G
2) US Gov Stimulus
3) Sprint contract ends

hmmmmmm

If the rumors have some basis in truth as to how the new iPhone's appearance will be I doubt I'll be disappointed. Just like those Nano rumors/mockups, they looked sorta fugly. Then the REAL Nanos came out and looked a little better viewing them online. Then I played with one and thought it was pretty slick.
 
The front shot look OK, but the back, with a thin line under the 'iPhone' name gives it all away. The change in contrast says fake.
 
if you asked me, it looks eerily familiar to the blackberry's current design, just extended and having "iPhone" photoshopped in...
 
as been pointed out its fake, and not a very good job. if you zoom in on teh back you can clearly see where the apple was cut out (square, ontop fo tha tlul) of another picture. not sure form what, could be a real iphone that had levels adjusted or somethign else, but you acn clearly see where teh black of the vu and the apple square meet, all around. you can also see the blending on the front from teh button area and the real vu bottom part. its not a fake, its a pretty bad fake:p

I think the thin line is supposed to be "Designed by Apple in cali . . .". I noticed that your sig line is pretty thin too.
 
For all of you calling BS because of the scratches on the back, Let me show you my ipod after four months. Let me tell you, it looks exactly the same as it did at four weeks. My iPod did nothing but rest in its case for the first 4 weeks of his glorious life.

It is scratched up and down the back.

I call BS too, just not for the same reasons.
 
I like it, the shiny back is to hard to keep looking clean. My iPod was scratched within hours. I think the all black looks nicer.

True.

I agree that it is something they should have included, since it seems like something pretty standard on most phones these days. (There has to be a good reason other than they just didn't want to...)

ALL phones these days, and for the past few years.

ALL the latest phones have MMS built in, except the iPhone.
 
i'm not a fan.... it looks just a black rectangular box if they were real apple legal would have been all over it already...apple is probably laughing at us right now
