at&t's contract is going to be something like 40$ for talk and 30$ for data and then a 10$ monthly fee for having the phone as thats why the beginning pricing is low.. so you pay an extra 240$ over two years or even 360$ here as they're going to be locked into a three year term.
and the phone does have a new battery but the talk time is still HALF of the 2g version, 3g is rated at 5 hours, a bit better than the average of 3.5.
OG iphone>3g unless data rates drop dramatically as my 30$/month plan as almost everywhere i go has a hotspot i can use:P

Apple does have a great marketing scheme. They make every one think its the best phone ever... Even though the camra is ok, no native video recording, no picture and video msging, and a few others. The only great thing is its syncability (spell that right? Lol?), and the full Internet. Of course that's my 2 cents.
As some of you may know, fido has the new deal out where you can pay $7 a month for unlimited data surfing on a fido 3g phone... Now since iPhone2 comes out in a month, will that deal be available for the classic iPhone users?
I asked them today and they told me that it could be added to my account and used, but since the iPhone uses raw data, I could end up with a maaaassive bill.

hmmm.. maybe u guys shouldn't think of the iphone 2 as an iphone 2 but rather think of it as..
iphone is finally getting released in canada... at a lower price..
2.0 camera does suck.. but u gotta understand it from a UI and developer's POV... if they stick in a 5.0 mp camera... the 3G connection is fast.. but uploading photos through mobile me or anything like emails will still take a long time..
i think that may be the reason they're still sticking around with the 2.0 camera

...and no auto-focus. Pretty clear I think: it doesn't use a lot of power, hence, greater battery life.
Then again you don't always have the camera turned on, but who knows.

oh, other question. When iPhone2 comes out, will I still have to use use my stealth sim, or can I take it out and just have my sim card?
That is a great point about the camra actuall, I never thought about that. I think a good compromise would have been a toggle between picture quality. If your looking for ok quality to send off to a buddy, use the 2.0mp quality... but if you want better qualify for when you load it up to your computer, you can jack the resolution up to 5mp.

what i mean is.. no matter if it's good or bad.. they probably won't listen... they're all just waiting for july 11th...
and the other problem... it's rogers & fido... i'm feeling that price plan including voice is going to equal about 110 a month with taxes included....

For now, im sticking with my classic iPhone.
yes the 3G network is almost 3x as fast, but how often do i have to download a massive PDF that I need that minute? Absolutely never.
My original iphone with firmware 2.0 and the plan I have now will suit me just fine... Although I did sign up a few months too early :P.
The new unlimited call plans and data plans are way better then the one I set up about 8 months.
