I'm guessing 2nd edition 8GB.

I love it. But, . . .

It is kind of slow at times and I'm sure I can find 50 other reasons to get a newer one. smile

Same here. If the data plan was per family instead of per phone, maybe. Because I know if I got one, my wife would want one! heh

i have the current 8GB 3G iPhone as well. i am going to try out OS 3.0 first . . . but i could easily drop $99 to get the 8GB 3GS version instead. i have barely filled up 1/2 of my 8GB iPhone so far and i have no reason to go for a larger HD in one. hmmmm. hmmm.

Hmmmm ... not a great start =P

I can understand the clunkyness of the ordering pages right now because they must be getting slammed, but this is the pricing page I get:



I'm an existing customer and have upgraded every time so far ... I *really* hope these aren't the prices they're offering to upgrade -- $299 for the 8GB??!!

Yikes!

=/

[update]



The small print:

"2) Requires new two-year AT&T wireless service contract, sold separately to qualified customers; credit check required; must be 18 or older. For non-qualified customers, including existing AT&T customers who want to upgrade from another phone or replace an iPhone 3G, the price with a new two-year agreement is $499 (8GB), $599 (16GB), or $699 (32GB)."

AT&T shoots itself in the foot. Frakking your existing customers in the butt = lost sale and lost new 2-year contract. Good job, dicks.

[/update]

Not only that to upgrade they want a new 2 year commitment , plus charge you a 18.00 fee , plus 299.00 <-- thats not an upgrade its a rip off

The 8GB is NOT a 3Gs model.
