MattFancy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Wow those MacBooks are still way too expensive for me. The iPhone is overrated. Do people actually use half the apps they show in the commercials anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Doesn't matter how low the price on iphones go, since they have an exclusive with AT&T, that will decide the price. If these new iphone is much better than what is currently available, my phone may have to have an "accident" and get a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFromYellowstone Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I love my iPhone and I'm looking forward to the new one. Best phone I've ever had, bar none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The question is, will they let you upgrade if your contract is not up yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The question is, will they let you upgrade if your contract is not up yet? My guess is that you'll have to pay full retail for the phone, just as if your contract wasn't up and you wanted to get an iphone in the first place.

GibbsFactor Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My guess is that you'll have to pay full retail for the phone, just as if your contract wasn't up and you wanted to get an iphone in the first place. Why not just extend the contract to a new one from date of purchase? I bet if you're a year into your contract you could do it. Either that or AT&T sucks.

bushwack Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Guess I should have waited another year, instead of paying $199 last year for the 3G. Oh well, I guess by the time my 2 year contract ends next year, then the newest upgraded iPhone will only be $49. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or AT&T sucks. That's not how they do business. They will extend the contract for another 2 years to the applicable data plan but you will have to still fork out the cash at retail for the phone, iirc.

ArmchairRedskin Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Man, I wavered on getting an Iphone a few months ago. I'm not a huge fan of the touch screen, but I'm gonna cave pretty soon. That phone is just too sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinInsite Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I need to ditch Verizon, they have the best network coverage but the phones just suck. No Iphone, Nokia n97, or Ericsson XPERIA X1. Just stuck with the stupid Blackberry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacase Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Has anyone gotten the Palm Pre yet? I got one on Saturday morning. Had to wait in line about 2 hours. Best phone I ever had, it does everything you could want it to. I never had a iphone so I really can't compare but there were a few iphone users who were more than happy to make the switch. The keyboard is nice. The only issue is the apps. But those will come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if worst comes to worst and the iPhone ends up being $499 for me, I made up more than that selling my 3G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackest Eyes Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The new phones look neat. My issue with the iPhone is that its becoming some trendy status symbol. I still think it is a bad ass piece of hardware though. I think the most exciting things from the keynote today were that they finally lowered the prices of the MacBook Pro's and the discussion of Snow Leopard. If I was on an Intel Mac I would absolutely pay the $30 upgrade to Snow Leopard. It looks awesome. It is more of a service update, but I am glad they aren't charging the full OS upgrade price. That would have been absurd, but I wouldn't have put it past them. Now if only they revised the Mac Pros....:doh: Edit: Oh, and AT&T is lame as hell. Apple should really open it up to more cell phone carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUSkinsFan Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I just signed a contract with AT&T and got the 16GB iPhone in January, so I am going to just wait until I am eligible for an upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee55055 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Has anyone gotten the Palm Pre yet? I also picked up the Palm Pre Saturday morning. I absolutely love this phone! It does everything I could possibly want to do with a phone and more. Extremely smooth interface and awesome messaging capabilities. Sprints unlimited data plan with 450 a month was also 20 bucks cheaper than any Verizon or AT&T plan I could find. Highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.
