This so called "improved" product suppose to come on on initial release. If you have carefully examine the "new" features, there isn't anything new beside the 3G. Everything else is software upgradeable. As always, Apple add the bare minimum and package it as a new product.
Apple on Monday

Looking at the video of the conference yesterday was/is Steve Jobs sick? The standard black clothes he wears we rather large on his frame and his face seems rather gaunt? Anyone know what's up there? And if so, shouldn't Apple investors be a little worried?
edit;
Searched and saw that he suffered pancreatic cancer 4 yrs ago and supposedly was in good shape, but looking at the video and up close interviews, it looks like he might be sick again.

Can't help but wonder how many phones apple would have sold if they had not gone exclusively with att and allowed all wireless providers to sell them. Why they do shit like that is beyond me.
I bet most people who would buy an iphone but haven't, is not because of the phone price, it's cuz they don't want to be stuck with an expensive provider.
The new plan is gonna cost $39+30(data)+$5(200 text msg)=$74 a month. For 450 minutes?!!...I can get 1000 minutes and unlimited weekends/data and 400 text for the same price at TMobile.
With the economy tanking people are looking for bargains, and the iphone, even at $199, aint it, unless you're already an Att customer of course. I agree with ByLo, the new smartphones coming out are gonna take a huge chunk of change from Apple

Dude, where have you been? Never heard of unlocking? Buying the iPhone with or without contract is the same price. People just buy the iPhone and unlock it for another carrier.
Yes, you are right. AT&T sux, the most expensive carrier around.

agree, from what im reading nothing is really great, only new big features is 3G and GPS.
Im still waiting to see how the plan structure is, I know many, many, many people are complaining about the $10 increase per month and that the new plan DOES NOT include the 200 free messages a month. That alone will add on another $15 on top of the already $59.99 original plan.
Another thing Im questioning is the use of GPS, is that going to be an additional cost??? I could care less about TV on a cell phone but the new Sprint Instinct includes that within the plan, is ATT doing the same. Im just saying this because I looked at the samsung instinct on sprint plan and noticed they give you alot for $70 a month.
Right now I have Tmobile, paying about $60 a month for service, I dont mind paying $70-$80 a month for more services on a phone, but if ATT is going to charge for simple voice plan at $40 and data at $30 and tack on little costs here and there that for something in 2008 should be included in a plan, I think they might be going to far.
Sprint everything plans start at $69.99,
Sprint will sell the Instinct with a mandatory $69.99 "Everything 450" plan which is Sprint's Simply Everything plan with 450 minutes of talk time rather than unlimited voice. This gets you Sprint's GPS Navigation service, unlimited data, Sprint Music Premier with approximately 50 commercial free radio channels and Sprint TV Premier with approximately 25 TV channels that are served over the data connection (not broadcast TV over the air).
Aside from that the Instict comes with 2 batterys and a 2 gig microSD card, phone can support up to 8 gig cards.
You dont. T-mobile is the only other one. lol the "unlocking market". You all make good points.There are extra costs involved, but IMHO they all add up to dogshit. 6 million people forked out $400 for the first iphone...a lot of them lined up for hours to pay that much and, yes, pay for a plan from ATT. The new iphone isnt all that much better, its just smaller and faster, but it is better. And at half the price we all know theyre going to sell probably tens of millions. once again go apple.
