    I guess I shouldn't be so impressed, but I would not want to upgrade my POS anymore than I already have.

    I want to move on up to a MAC. But you are awesome my man, awesome!
    Four whole Terabytes!
    Four terabytes is nice, but it can also lead to sloppy "housekeeping" on the drives. I could probably free up another 500 gigs by doing another round of "housecleaning."

    I can imagine it's a big task to hae that much space. Can you partition it at all?
    Is that an iPhone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

    Actually, no porn.

    And to adnurahs, yes, I partition them into several drives.

    Back on topic for a moment, if they put a front facing video camera you can bet that tons of phones will have them in the next year as everyone will be trying to catch up with Apple once again. You would probably be able to video chat with people on computers too. And as for the cost, even if AT&T decides to charge extra for it or not allow it on their network, you would be able to use it on WiFi.

    Yep that's what I said They have become the one to model off of for successful phones, so in the coming years we would see almost every phone having video chat. That's a good point, I could see at&t saying there's enough wifi hotspots they offer for them to block it on their network. Plus if apple can't get the quality to their level of approval over the at&t network then they would make the decision themselves to make it wifi only.

    Sorry to burst anyones bubble but I don't see ichat coming to the iphone in the near future. We just don't have the bandwidth. Even if it was wi-fi only I just don't see it coming out yet. I could be way wrong though.

    You are probably right, but AT&T is also upgrading their system ahead of the iPhone launch. It doubles the speed of current 3G and every tower they have now can be upgraded by software and they are adding more towers this year. Plus they created a system to move some cell phones to 2G at certain times to create a better 3G environment for the smartphone users.

    Exactly, all that just to keep BROWSING speeds normal. I mean if normal internet usage is killing AT&T, there's no way they can sustain video chat. Video chat requires a constant stream: upload and download for BOTH phones the chat. We would see cell towers on fire if there were video conferencing on the iphone.
