Of course you don't use it, nobody does, it's not out yet.

Or just go get Simplify Media from the app store and you can stream your iTunes library to your iPhone. Who even needs 8 gigs anymore? Unless you're watching all your t.v. and movies on your iPhone.

From what I understand from previous posts, the iPhone business model is different from the iTouch because apple gets paid revenue sharing per month from AT&T for the iPhone, which is worked into their finances. The iTouch, on the other hand, is a one time fee, with no revenue sharing from AT&T, obviously, and therefore a different business model. This is just relaying what an accountant said in a comment a few months ago when the 1.1.4 firmware was released. I am not a CPA by any means, so please don't low rank the messenger, lol.

What Comcast DVR do you have? I have an HD Comcast box (Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD) and mine looks nothing like that. Just curious because the theme on that screenshot is a million times better than the shitty GUI on my box, lol.

@ Ross...

On Tuesday I called AT&T and talked to a customer service manager from dialing 611 on my iPhone to figure out about my upgrade options. The rep explained to me that the $100 discount I will receive for upgrading will not be available for the 3G iPhone. She stated the $199 and $299 price points no matter what. After this unfortunate news, I asked her about insurace because my HTC 8525 was stolen last December when there was no insurance option for smartphones at that time. She told me that the $5/month insurance is now available for every phone offered by AT&T EXCEPT the iPhones. According to her, Asurion and Apple have not even talked about insuring the iPhone yet. I also asked her about insuring my current-gen iPhone and she said no dice. Granted, I've gotten incorrect information from AT&T reps about everytime I talk to one, but the two women I talked to on Tuesday had both worked at AT&T since before they were AT&T before they were Cingular before they became AT&T again, lol. But still, take this with a grain of salt, but apparently no upgrading and no insurance for the 3G iPhone.

@Ti
Most people will be at their computer starting when the keynote starts (a lot, including me, will be here earlier). We will be reading from the start and refreshing constantly. The issue here is everytime we refresh, we have to scroll to the bottom of the extremely long post to see if it's been updated yet. If the update is at the top, no scrolling. Just make sure you're on time and you won't start reading in the middle. :)

So, does anyone else think that this first iPhone was basically a beta test to see if people will buy an Apple cell phone? From hearing all these rumors about the price being cut in half through AT&T with a new 2-year contract (probably because they're tired of losing so many customers to unlocking) and now this no revenue-sharing business, seems to me that Apple wanted a limited base of tech savvy customers to purchase the first "beta" iPhone in order to get worthwhile feedback. Basically everything software-related that users have been demanding in a new iPhone is going to be implimented in the new firmware update (although still no word on cut and paste *cough bs cough*), plus the rumors that hardware demands are being answered (even blogs about the battery being removable, I personally took my iPhone to the Apple store because of battery issues and they just gave me a new one, I'm sure they'd rather sell the replaceable batteries themselves to cut back on how insanely crowded Apple stores are and how long you have to wait to get a genius bar appointment, I live in Houston btw) all point to the fact that this was basically a beta release. Or I may just be overthinking this.

This is exactly why cell signal blockers need to be standard in cars. My best friend goes to Full Sail in Winter Park, FL and when he steps in his classrooms, the signal blockers send callers directly to his voicemail. This needs to be standard in all cars starting right this minute. I am almost hit by some dumbass talking on a cell phone everyday (live in Houston) and they're just talking and don't have the sense to be able to concentrate on the road.

Oh...and @jrk...I don't know what kind of friends you have, but I don't have to look at my radio to change a station or stare at my a/c to turn it on, that's why everything is within reach and radios have preset buttons...it's not rocket surgery.

Hate to tell you that Starbucks has signed with AT&T to switch over from T-mobile. So, iPhones will have free reign at Starbucks in the near future. But, luckily for you, from what I understand, AT&T is letting T-mobile users surf free at Starbucks, but I wouldn't count on that for too long.

@ Phoenix...Get in those video recording and MMS jabs while you can. Those are both software app issues which are already in works for June. :)

But, I totally agree with your comments about no 3G and no A2DP, I bought some A2DP headphones for my AT&T 8525 about 2 weeks before my phone was stolen. After getting an iTouch for Christmas, I returned it and paid the difference for the iPhone to replace my stolen 8525, now I have a pair of $100 bluetooth headphones collecting dust in my closet, lol.
