ill second this post

[Hayesimus]

agreed. but i wouldn't get my hopes up. then we will only be disappointed...

[patrickj]

I'll take just 3G. It will make a huge difference in many applications.
I've used an AT&T 3G device before and it was a major difference from using a previous generation one.

I'd love to see some of those other features somewhere down the road as well, but 3G plus the 2.0 firmware and Exchange support will be a huge leap forward and more than good enough for me for now ...

[OJsakila]

if it is JUST 3g, I'm keeping what I have. Edge is quite satisfying in Savannah, anyway. No sense giving Steve Jobs another several hundred bucks if he's not going to earn it...

[jjvaldez]

i really really want gps .. after playing with the voyager.. i want gps step by step now

[Buffy]

I don't know much about Apple's ways like most of you do, but I wonder if they'd add some of the features we've been wanting to the 3g which will never be available on the current iPhone?

[ColsTiger]

Just another couple of weeks and we should all know exactly what to expect.

[jjvaldez]

i too wonder will they add mms .. they dont have to but we want it... i mean look how long it took for the right click mouse..

[psylichon]

None of the new features that have been mentioned (even the ones beyond 3G and GPS) are must-haves for me. I'm bathed in WIFI most of the day, but am otherwise content with edge speeds here in Philly.

5MP camera would be sweet and desireable, imo, but it ain't gonna happen.

[Indy]

I'm definately interested in the 3g, but also intrigued by the possibility of this second camera for video conferencing being rumored numerous times.

Hello Sir,
glad to see most of you feel like i do
i admit that all of they hype and speculation
has been on our end and not mr.jobs
since the new iphone hasnt been anounced yet
so if we get let down apple could just say ..
"hey we never even said anything about a new iphone"
but putting that aside,
i feel if the only upgrade is "3g" that it doesnt even merit
a new iphone release
that seems like a service at&t can provide
like you bring your iphone in and say , "can i have this 3g please"
they take your iphone throw a 3g chip in it and give it back
ok i am rambling now but........
at least 32 gb , better camera, and a different look to diferentiate (i know i didnt spell that rite) this 3g iphone from the old one
ohh and they better call it the iPhone 2
that is all
GOOD DAY

Same here. I don't spend a lot of time in places that have free wifi (except for home), and the EDGE reception at work is really spotty.

[gotpancakes]

i dont see much big changes coming out.. it would seem smarter to hold out on a REAL v2 rather than this upgrade speeds.. but i will say that with 3G putting GPS wouldnt be a shock to me..

[connie]

I am pretty content with edge too (I am actually agreeing with OJ). If it is only 3g I will keep my current iphone, but if it has a bunch of new cool features I will consider buying a new one. I know I have sounded like a broken record since July but I also (like JJv) would like MMS,copy and paste too, if it doesn't have this then I don't think I would even bother.

[projectdarkside]

yeah im only hoping that the 3G's service doesnt increase the overall iPhone plan. I dont have an iPhone yet but with the next month( I start my first job), ill have one and will only tolerate paying no more than 80 dollars a month, cause I need either the 1500 text or unlimited text

[joe]

I don't need 3G. I need EDGE or the internet apps to improve their performance on EDGE. Mail hangs something fierce and is almost unusable on EDGE. Safari could use some optimizing to help make EDGE more bearable.

I don't need a higher MP camera. I need the current camera to handle lighting, movement, and artifacts better, be quicker, offer options, and add some video capabilities. When the conditions are perfect the pictures are very nice.

I'm not sure why you'd want a new GUI. This one is very new and has a lot of growth left in it.

I'm really looking forward to the huge world of native applications making it so much more useful. This will add much more value than if there was a hardware upgrade with no new apps.

[Youngbinks]

I'm hoping for 3G, some GPS and 32 GB. I've run out of space on my 8 for just music and need something a bit bigger. I might go for a new 16 GB 3G but only time will tell for that.

[jslappa]

"Stands up and gives OJsakila a big round of applause"

I really hope Steven has earned my money this time around.

[minivini]

I'm pretty happy with the UI. Maybe some different customization options, but for me it works great and is intuitive.

I'd like to see 3G with 32GB and file management. I'd take 16GB, but I could really use the space if I can actually access it in a flexible manner.

I would love to see GPS integrated into GMaps, but it isn't a deal breaker, and unless they have found some sort of super battery, I doubt we'll see it in V2. Too much power consumption for a cell radio, wifi radio, BT radio, 3G reception, AND a GPS chip... I'd rather have all the above without GPS than have to sacrifice ANY of the above. I'd actually be thrilled if they would just make the BT stack work with all the BT GPS receivers out there. That would be a great compromise...

I'd also really like to see A2DP in the BT stack this time. That was a ridiculous omission.

My poor iPhone looks like it's been rolled down a mountain, so I'm pretty certain I'll be getting one - as long as I can get at least 16GB and 3G. That said, we're over a year past when I was assured we'd be getting 3G and it still hasn't gotten any closer; nor will anyone even speculate beyond "...we should have it by the end of the year..."

OrbLive .

[Youngbinks]

I'd love to use OrbLive but they need to get their lazy butts into developing the software needed for a Mac. Until then I'm bound by physical constraints.

[atldvd]

Everyone seems to think 3G alone is not worth upgrading. Not me. I am happy with iPhone V1 except for browsing speed. Most of the time it's just so slow for me it's unusable. I know 3G may or may not make a huge difference, but I want it. So I sold my phone for nearly what I paid for it. Now I'm just waiting... I'll get one pretty much no matter what!

[westcoastwake]

3g would be nice, edge is slow but i still love my original. With the 2.0 update coming out there will be even more features to play with. I say the new 3g has got to have a good amount of features other than 3g and a good price. For sure though, even if it is a good phone im waiting a couple months because I bet they will pull another price drop.

[jjvaldez]

why are people predicting early june for the update... i just read this off the apple websire

Apple plans to release the final iPhone 2.0 software, including the iPhone SDK and new enterprise features, as a free software update for all iPhone customers by the end of June. Third party applications created for the iPhone will also run on the iPod touch, and iPod touch users will be required to purchase a software update to run these applications. The free beta iPhone SDK is available immediately worldwide and can be downloaded at developer.apple.com/iphone/program (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program). The iPhone Developer Program will initially be available in the US and will expand to other countries in the coming months. Apple is accepting applications beginning today from enterprise customers who would like to join the private iPhone Enterprise Beta Program (www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise (http://www.apple.com/iphone/enterprise)).

this says LATE JUNE..

The 3G thing alone should not be enough for current owners to get excited all over again. But it's the only thing we know for sure at the moment and I'm betting it will be the main party trick of the new Iphone. Apple needs this for the European market to be convinced. If it starts to sell as good all over the world, only then will they revisit the drawing board and bring an actual 'new' iphone out. Current owners will be able to join in on the fun of the new iphone by means of the firmware update.
They will not pull out the plug on the first iphone after a year, when it still has plenty of room left for software improvement.
Just my 2 cents.

[Panache010]

Not trying to rain on anyones parade or anything but something just crossed my mind. WHAT IF... the majority of the good SDK programs require a 3G connection to run? Guess we'll be forced to upgrade if you want to get the full SDK experience.

Ain't gonna happen at this moment for numerous reasons: 3G coverage is improving butt not yet a fact, apple would shoot themselves in the foot if they would leave out current iphone users of the experience...and another obvious one: WIFI!

Apps that do need 3G to run, are for example: mobile tv, video conferencing...don't really care for them much. I had a 3G phone almost 2 years ago and while it was fun playing around with it the first time, it soon became redundant, due mainly to the cost, battery drain and lack of people using it (had maybe one person who I was able to do video conference with).
