hopefully we'll be able to buy the iphones at the advertised prices like in the USA right now and then just take them home and unlock them.

It's with a contract.
The plan prices will take out any savings you get from getting the phone at 199.

going to be rarer then the 3g one's for sure. Every high school kids and their C-Lai mother will have the new iPhone in Vancouver. It's a great day for Apple they are going to make 100's of millions when the new phone is released, but like all thing's Apple a new and better version will come out 6 months after the 3g phone comes out.

All the new features will be available on the old iPhone with the 2.0 firmware upgrade. The new rules they have for selling the iPhone 3G (must activate in-store) means it'll be a lot harder to get them, eh? Besides, I'm rather disappointed. It looks the same, the features are...the same. aGPS sucks, and 3G makes little difference to me without a good data plan. Sure, I get signal in some places I wouldn't normally get, but I'd rather get a more unique and esoteric phone than this new RAZR.
But, what the heck is the "SIM ejector tool" that is listed on the Apple site as being included in the box? ahahahaha...a....paperclip? | |

I'm not tryin to start beef but here's how I see it. Yah it looks basically the same, but I mean what else could they do with a large screen on the front. Why would you say aGPS sucks? Either way Tomtom is already slated to release their GPS software for it. But I think the major deal breaker here is the price. At $200 you're getting a new phone, lighter, better batt, 3G (pending data prices), GPS, for half the cost of the previous iphone.
So now you're looking at essentially paying upwards of $200 for exclusivity alone. (N95, etc) Is it really worth that much? With the inclusion of the app store and improved hardware I don't see how this phone doesn't just destroy the market at this price point.

hard to get an unique phone now...back in the days, u want to go unique just turn to imported phones. not a lot of ppl use imported phones back then. but now most ppl use imported phones...
anyways, at this price range...iphone gotta be the best looking one and with the best features

I would wait til the actual launch of the iphone, I've been reading on multiple sites that the new prices are with contracts only, so who knows if they're right or not.
some users here have already posted this, just making a note of it again.
as for the price of the old ones, I really hope they don't depreciate that much. those prices seem really low for any phone with those capabilities without a contract.

Ditto, 1st gen iPhone with firmware 2.0.0 would be fine. No 3G blows, but hey, whatever. I already have aGPS in it since the 1.1.3 update, although it's useless to me without data lol For GPS, I have a REAL one in the form of a TomTom ONE XL, which is perfect for not just I, but sharing with my family as well (i.e. they don't have to take my phone bwahahaha!).
I'm hearing the iPhone 3G will be sold with contracts only, but who knows. The Apple.ca site says it'll be available in Rogers and Fido stores soon, presumably on Jul. 11. At that price point, it will be the NEW RAZR, that's what I meant if you didn't understand. As in, everyone that's not an Asian/Asian C-lai will have it too...hahaha
Dammit...and I wanted to sell my P905i...haahah
