I've got a real camera to take pictures -- I want my phone camera to be able to get grab shots and the like.

32GB will be a great upgrade for me -- and sounds like the pricing is going to be the same for both iPhone 4 as it is for the current 3GS series, which probably means a price drop in the works for those (we've already seen the 16GB 3GS go for $97 at WalMart). Now I've just got to wait till the 24th...well, at least that's after next payday.

As for Verizon, Apple may have issued a shot across the bow with the FaceTime only on WiFi for now...if AT&T doesn't get its act and network together, Apple may be looking for a loophole in that exclusivity agreement and taking the phone to additional carriers.

All that, but will the phone actually work? AT&T service is horrible.

[StanRickert]

No news about opening up to other carriers? Seriously Apple?? I love your products, but come on....I want the latest and greatest but not as long as AT&T holds the monopoly in the U.S. Friggin' Ridiculous!!

You can make it levitate, spin backwards, and fire lasers but as long as its on AT&Ts network whats the point. I think the announcement that people are really waiting for is that the iphone will be available on a network that can actually support its features. Not to mention AT&Ts new tiered pricing for data. Time for Apple to actually think about its customers and less about its ego.

As a satisfied Apple and AT&T customer, I believe they are.

I don't really like the design...and the two volume controls are horrible.... I think this time they cared more about the hardness then the design....

I love the design, I think it looks better! More sleek.

Nice to see Apple really trying again. It's been a long time since I last felt that "this must have fallen out of the future" feeling.

They really had to pull out something special to bury the myriad Android devices and I think they have. The Evo isn't looking quite so amazing now.

And US phones are still years behind Japan. 5 Megapixel. Hah.

5 MP is point-and-shoot cameras is plenty crowded already. Putting that much in a phone is enough. There is a point of diminishing returns; like putting too many people on a bus, you can get them there but it's not going to be pretty once the trip is finished.

Is that your only reason for judging U.S. phones behind those from Japan?

Why are two volume controls "horrible"? Isn't that essentially what we have now, albeit in the form of a rocker switch?

0 surprises. AT&T really? Goodbye Apple, hello HTC.

I'm really surprised we didn't see an iChat app for this phone. Not only could you instant message with others, you could also video chat now, not to mention that this could ELIMINATE texting and screw the mobile companies who keep charging us so much for it.

FaceTime? Meh! The perfect excuse for your spouse to examine you while you're calling to see if you're lying.

Megapixels aren't everything. Jobs pointed out that the iPhone 4's camera keeps pixel size the same instead of shrinking them to fit more.

True. I would take low-light performance (read: larger pixels) any day over resolution. How often do you print larger than 8x10" (yes, I do realize you may crop heavily too, but again low light is more common a problem).

All fantastic, except the memory. 64GB would have been nice.

I would rather have the longer battery life than more memory.
