iPhone 4/ OS4
 

Starting this thread since DS is being negligent.

Who's getting it or wants to get it? I've upgraded but I shouldn't be getting mine for another three weeks because of the crazy high demand.

I will be downloading the new OS when it's released later today though.

Can't afford one, never had one, don't really feel like I'm missing out ;)

Currently a blackberry user. I do want an Android phone and am leaning towards the Nexus One once its int store, whenever that'll be.

I do think the iPhone is a good product just the closed loop of Apple doesn't appeal to me at all. Probably the main reason I haven't gotten an iPad.

I have a BlackBerry also and don't plan on making the switch. Ever :)

I used to be a BlackBerry user and really liked the phones but I made the switch in 08 and love it. I used to have cell phone envy and would want a new phone every 6 months when something better and cooler would come out, so the fact that I've had the same iPhone for over two years now says a lot.

But does that have more to do with AT&T's contract and the fact that upgrading your iPhone more frequently would be impractical?

I'd love to be a gadget person, but it's freaking expensive. Except for insurance or warranty replacements I keep my phone for at least the 2 year contract period. The only MP3 player I have is an ex-coworker's samsung. It's not that I don't like the pretty toys, but they've never seemed worth investing in.

I do want an ebook reader though I haven't figured out which one would be preferable and I don't know when I'd be able to get one for myself.

My husband has a BlackBerry. I have an iPhone. We both agree that the iPhone is infinitely better. ;)

Got my phone within the past year so I am not yet eligible for the discounted upgrade. Overall I am content with what my current phone offers, except I wish the battery life was longer. Am I intrigued by the improved picture/movie quality of the newere version? Sure, but not enough to pay for an upgrade at this point.

No, I paid full price for my last BB because I got it too soon after my last upgrade, which I hated ( the pearl). I don't mind because I AM a gadget person. If it's shiny and electronic, I want it.

I am a gadget person, but I can never really afford to be so I never act on it. But I have come to a point where I can and I am treating myself to an iphone 4 as soon as I get my next paycheck:D. I have been back and forth about all the different types of smartphones, and I was at first skeptical of the iphone, but recently no other phone has compared and I want the new one very badly.

Thinking about it.

I'm getting it on Thursday!
 

I have an iPhone 4 (32GB) reserved for me at one of the local Apple Stores. My 3g phone will be sent to its new owner.
I can't wait :D

I have the HD2 (from T-Mobile) and through the B&N app it comes with, you can download and read books from the phone. It comes pre-loaded with 3 e-books already (Dracula, Pride and Prejudice, and something else) but you can purchase whatever e-book and read it from your phone.

Phones are too small, even browsing the web my on vaguely blackberry shaped Samsung I have to scroll way too much.

I'd want a Kindle or Nook or Sony or something but they're all proprietary about their formats and i haven't done the research yet due to the price range. Also reading on a backlit screen is harder than the eInk.

I thought the thing about the Nexus One was that you HAD to buy it directly from Google, and that it would not be in stores?

Live-in has it and totally loves it - he's a tech geek and really loves that he can change all the settings himself and it's all open source.

I've had my current phone for almost 4 years now.

I have a Kindle (actually, it's Live-in's until I save enough to buy it from him so he can buy an iPad, but since he doesn't like the Kindle he lets me use it anyway), and I like it very much. The difference between us, though, is that he likes to read comic books which can't be read on the Kindle, and I like to read books and the backlight hurts my eyes eventually.

I have an eBook on my iPod Touch right now but I find I can't concentrate on the iPod long enough to actually do any significant reading. I've been "reading" Madame Bovary for about 6 months now and am only in chapter 8, and I swear to God I try to pick it up and read it at least once per week.

Oooh hmmm...maybe I won't read those books then lol. I have them on there to look like I actually use my phone for more than just texting and getting on facebook! lol.

But then again I'm not a fan of Dracula, P&P or Little Women.

It was pretty insane in San Francisco today

I am at 2:20. No makeup and no sleep :eek:

How am I being negligent????

You all expect me to post everything?????


Dayum!


Anyways...

Saw 3 iPhone 4's in the wild just within the past 24hrs. The last one was a guy on the train this morning who is one of the lucky few that has the antenna problem. Sitting next to us was ....tada....an Apple representative, so he managed to show her the problem, first hand....hehe.

I got mine in the mail last wednesday, which has been a great update to my original iPhone. It's amazing how fast everything is and the multi-tasking, although not true multi-tasking, and the conversational email inbox are two of my favorite features.

Pretty sure I will get one. My 2G could use an upgrade, and I just won a $300 iPhone gift card at Convention... :D:D
