But the pricing is too damn expensive.

I'm using my solid brick aluminum 2G iPhone and still loving it. Naïve people still ask if it's the new one because of the condition I keep it in, and paying $6 bucks a month for unlimited data simply cannot be beat.

Sadly, my battery is starting to go, and while I tend to take all of my **** apart, I'm a little reluctant to do so on the first generation since it's nowhere as simple as the 3G or 3GS.

Any ideas or tips when you're phone is in this state?

I really want the new one, I mean I've waited a while for a phone I wanted to trade for my current iPhone, and iPhone 4 is it. However, I can't justify $600, even if I'm saving $288 a year on data, it's only edge after all too.

Personally I'd like to wait a couple months for iPhone 4 to settle in, and see what offers start coming up on craigslist. However, with a dying battery the time's a ticking, so I'll keep you posted if you care.

Don't worry I'm in the same boat. Using the 1st generation on T-Mobile with $6/month data. I've waited through 3 iPhone releases and have decided as well that iPhone 4 is it. I want to pull the trigger, but now that I see that Canada iPhones will come unlocked, I'm trying to convince myself to wait just a bit more.

PS. My battery is also showing signs of not being able to retain a charge. Not too big a deal since it usually lasts me for the day and I just charge it at night.
 
well thru all the crazy stuff on launch day I managed to get 4 pre-ordered.............now its a waiting game for the phone and the unlock.....
 
1st Gen on T-Mobile.
Would love to get 4 but not if have to sign with the Death Star.
To see how the other half live go visit the Canadian or UK Store and
read all the lovely unlocked no commitment verbiage.........

Choice what a Concept!

Cmon Apple start a Network already.......
 
i don't understand why you'd want an iPhone 4 and use it on tmobile. Edge would drive me crazy.

I have a T-Mobile family plan at the moment, and save quite a bit of money.

I can always tether my iPhone 4 off of my jailbroken iPad with MyWi. :D


I'm thinking of driving up to Canada to get an iPhone 4. That said...I see that the 8 GB 3GS is $549 there... :/ what's the iPhone 4 going to cost??
