Hmmm...

I heard issues about battery life sucking on the new one. Mossberg's review has put a new spin on this phone for me. Anyway, it looks a little thicker to me, which isn't a big deal at all. I'm thinking I'll wait until version 3 if the battery is going to die at the end of every day. Guess we'll all know soon enough.

MMMMM
I think I'm in Love!
It looks DAMN Sexy! I think Apple's digitally rendered photos on their website made it look extra glossy, this has a nice balance of gloss/matte, but then again it could just be the lighting in this particular room, I am soooooooo coming in late to work on friday, forget waiting until 6 to get one, gimme NOW!!!!
 
Not that it will stop me from getting it, but I could see the finger prints on the back and it was just unboxed. Oh well, I clean the screen all the time anyways, so what is a little extra effort to wipe the back.
 
Just a note about unboxing:

WTF is with this Geek-porn phenomena? Why is there such a demand for this weirdness?
 
People need to stop complaining about how much cheaper it looks... because as you can see in this video... it is WAY better looking!

yeah . . . i'm waiting on my judgment until i have one in my hands. i'm always a fan of function over form, so am glad the GPS and wifi signals will be better, but do like my current aluminum. we'll see what it looks like in store, i guess!!
 
Fake, Fake!!

Dude, are all of you bliiiiiind. The person in this video, for some reason, covers the back of the supposed iPhone. I wonder, why. Guys, its a CLONE!!!!!!FAKE, FAKE, FAKE!!! Wait until Friday 8:00AM so we can all se the real iPhone 3G.:eek:
 
I really wish Apple had made the plastic back out of the matte black plastic used on the new iMacs. I really don't understand where they pulled the glossy from because there are absolutely zero products in the Apple lineup that are glossy black. Are they trying to mimic the sheen of the glass with the plastic back? Dumb.

I said it before when the photos were getting leaked and I'll say it again: The phone's design doesnt go with recent Apple design trends and philosophies.


Still: I want one. I just want an Apple UI designed GPS app for vehicle turn-by-turn. Probably never going to happen, but oh well. I like my current iPhone just fine for right now :eek:
 
cant wait, looks fantastic. I must admit that I was not in favor of the darn plastic until I dropped my original at a club the other night (yes I about cried lol), picked it up and it had a dent and gouge in the metal...I was pissed! And it really does look nice from the video :)
 
The worst part of the unboxing video

The worse part of that unboxing video is the music.

I'd say that dude shouldn't be trying out for any Allstate commercials. That is one UGLY hand!
 
Umm. I think this video has been taken down. Now all I see is a GPS review. Iphone unboxing video is nowhere to be found.
 
The video has been removed

I was thinking the same thing because I couldnt find the video anyway....sorry guys it must have been a fake. Why take the time to unbox a supposed iphone when you are lying and you just completely discredited your website for accuracy. What a load of crap. Im just looking forward to seeing it friday.
 
Nevermind

Yea I found the video on youtube and it actually looks to be real. You can see the headphone jack and it doesnt look like it has a black cover on the back. It is also clearly thinner than the first so I dont see why people after seeing this video thinks its a fake. It looks real to me
 
All I see is a GPS review. And when I search unboxing iphone 3g on youtube, I get a bunch of junk videos. Can someone pm me the youtube link? Thank you.

Thinner? are you blind? The edges are thinner but is is definitely THICKER than the first.
