EDIT: iPhone 2.0 is slightly thicker BUT lighter in weight.

But then.. who give a shxt that everyone going to have one...
It's how much iphone will help you in your daily life...
since it sync with everything on my mac like address book, calendar, photos.... etc... it really helps ....
I don't mind carry the same phone as everybody's...
I bet 99% of you drove a car that is the same as majority of people in Vancovuer (like BMW, Benz, Lexus, Honda, Toyota, VW.... etc)

from what i understand..most contracts will be similar to the ATT/Apple agreement..
so most countries would have to follow suit
regardless...its $199/299 with contract UNTIL FURTHER NEWS

Thats the **Subsidized** price. You wont get away without signing up a $30-50 data plan or a Special iPhone data plan if you are planning to get an iPhone from Rogers or Fido.
Apple is selling these for $199/299, But will receive additional cost / profit from your monthly bill.
AT&T is now charging $30 for Unlimited 3G access on new iPhone activations.

P.S. in store activations only. You cannot buy iPhone and do it online anymore.

not that yahoo is the best place to find phone news, but I found this to be quite interesting: http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/94465
so it is almost confirmed you can't get an iphone without a plan, and in the long run it will cost you more according to that.

Only two major upgrades, A-GPS + 3G and colored PLASTIC backs(if you consider that as an Upgrade??)
The only attractive thing at the moment = $199 price tag w/ 3 Year contract. We will all soon find this unattractive once Rogers / Fido release specially tailored iPhone Voice+Data plans.

So I know that there is the new "In store activation ONLY" factor playing a big part of peoples decisions, but how many of you guys work at a fido or rogers store?
I'm not asking you personally, but maybe one of your "friends" knows a way around it? Some one slips you $50, you un-lock it, and let them leave (after paying the full price for the phone)
Quick question. Firmware 2.0 for the "classic" iPhone will include what? Will we be able to have the App. store? Will we get the the other addictions?
If the new 2.0 upgrade works with the classic iPhone, wont the only advantage to the 3G version be that it's 3G and the phone casing is different?

rogers blow, they won't let their customers off the hook so easily, probably a mandatory monthly fee for data plan of at least $50...

Firmware 2.0 for Classic will have App Store, Push notification, etc.
iPhone 2.0 = A-GPS + 3G + New Plastic Back. Thats it!! I don't understand all the hype  | |

but then again.. half of us don't even use 3g so we don't really care.
i just hope the plastic isn't too cheap.
