Exactly what I was thinking. Twice as fast, GPS, and double the space for only $300.

the price is a huge turn on for me. I'm glad its this cheap. Do you think I will be able to use my store credit to purchase it. I still have $100.00 store credit from when they did the iphone thing when they dropped the price last year. I remember they said it does not expire. In that sense I can get an 8GB iphone for $100.00, plus tax of course.

The GPS function, I dont know how well we can use that. Whats the point if they dont implement a turn for turn navigation? I mean, it can pin point where you exactly are and then you can get a more accurate route to where you are going, but turn for turn would help. Some lesser cellphones have that feature. I hope a third party app fills that gap.

3G is a good thing. Able to surf the web faster and download things faster over the air without having to deal with EDGE with snail speeds.

Its thinner, which has its good points and bad points. But we will debate that no matter what. My first thought is the current skins and cases have to be modified to fit. I've learned my lesson, always wear protection. Broken iphone screen does not look great.

July 11, thats the next iDay, Chris will I see you there? ( roosevelt field mall )

With what I sold my v1 iPhone for on eBay a few days ago, I might buy two!

Why isn't there a poll option of "Nothing"? It's a huge disappointment, the new iPhone.

Lets go over the list of features it has:
-GPS
-3G
-Two colors
-Plastic
-Metal buttons

Yeah...I'll pass thanks.

I think it definitely the look and color cause ya kno we had seen so many mock-ups of 3G iphone before the release, that it was driving us crazy their was literally a new mock-up or picture every week lol!
