So where is the Matte back, Lighted Logo, etc...??

Looks like only one source got it 95% right (except for the FM part) :

I'm kinda surprised that the Matte back didn't make it. Probably was a prototype.

What is your biggest disappointment, based on rumors and reality?

no subsidized price for upgrading mid-contract.

 

[truffleshuffle8]

so unlock yours sell it for 400+ and pay the 199-299 difference

I'm eligible for upgrades every year because we've been with them forever, also all fees get waived. its pretty sweet...

Its unbelievable how soooo many people were off!

MOST said the new iPhone won't be released until July. Most said the 3.0 software won't be shipped until July. Most said it'll have the matte back. Some thought it'll have a front facing camera. And the list goes on and on.

LOL! All those mock up and fake ass bezels and the iPhone kept the same look!

I wouldn't mind seeing a lit home button. Kind of how BB's have the flickering light. The glowing logo is just a waste of battery.

i think i might be in the same boat as you? apple.com states that i am eligible but i am not to sure if it might be an error. my line is with a family plan...

My disappointment was no front camera and video chat.

Phones from 2005 have that.

iPhone doesn't.

The rumors were all way off this time. Even Kevin Rose was wrong :

but the quality is crap, apple doesn't release things of inferior quality just for the sake of releasing them. they need to be for the most part perfect first, and it's obvious that cell phone networks here in the US arent ready for full on video chatting, and apple may not yet be able to make such a small handheld device that can video chat with live crystal clear quality. Also, no other phones have it yet here and iphone users with the new cams would be the only ones who could video chat with each other, and iphone video chatting with a computer, that would be pretty lame.
