Ok Guy's I have to admit I do work for a ATT store and have for years now dont get freaked.... But you can stop the 30 dollar data service at any point in a contract without violating anything. YES THATS RIGHT I SAID YOU COULD STOP PAYING FOR DATA SERVICE !!!!

Here is the catch it will drop you back to pay per use and spank you in overages.

"I heard you can't activate the iPhone at home anymore, is that true? This is still a little fuzzy. "

There is nothing fuzzy about this. You can not leave an AT&T or Apple store with a new phone without having signed a contract on the spot. This information comes from the AT&T conference call on the iphone which happened the same day as the WWDC keynote. Man I hate FUD. Keep in mind they still have 30 days to figure out what they really want to do and everything could change.

would you be able to buy a full priced new iphone (~$400) from apple and activate by way of using a sim that is iphone activated like you do after you do a restore on a normal iphone?

The GPS limitation was for the GOOGLE MAPS... companies can make GPS for the phone, they just cant use the preinstlled ones.

I Heard This And That About The New iPhone 3G & I'm glad that most of the bull has be cleared up, But I have a few question that I hope someone can answer...... hopefully someone that works for At&t.

1.) Will There Be A Special Plan For Prepaid Customers?
2.) Will At&t Insure The New Phones?
3.) What If I Lose My New iPhone Can I Just Purchase Another One?

*could care less about all this*

Im not signing a contact with ATT so im just waiting on the unsubsidized price...whether overseas, on craigslist, or through the apple store. But I find it hard to believe that Apple will refuse a sale in their store w/o signing an ATT contract. People espically myself are spoiled from activating through iTunes(espically the hacking thing). ATT and Apple needs to get their **** 2gether and tell the public before they have hell on their hands on the 11th.

i just called the at&t store to ask some ?'s about the plans and stuff. i asked the guy "i have a ? about the new iphone coming out. you must have had a lot of ppl calling about it, right?"

he said "yes, in fact im looking at it right now"

i thought OMG it is there!!

i asked him if it was there in the store and he said "no, im looking at it online on the at&t site"

got me all excited for nothing. but he said nobody really knows about it yet in the stores, just what is online and from apple. still 1 month left....

buy them full price w/o the contract

I'm curious -- will the iPhone 3g be able to be used as a modem to a laptop? I could never get the tethering to work....

It's the only thing I miss my Palm about -- the ability to use it as a modem.

Can't believe people complain
Ok 1st Apple as a company should have not connected up with at&t ,but they did and like most companies nice contracts =good$$$. Keep past past , everybody knew this when the iphone came out. And as far as me buying $600 phone first time around, i could give a rat's *** . I am a tech junkie and have blown more than $600 on other devices in past to have the newest technology. Like my first DVD player 600+ , now you go to walmart and buy one for $35. Anyway to my point, either enjoy what you have or stop ******** about Apple and their newest device. Problem most people have, but don't admit is when the new iphone comes out their device won't be "it" anymore and your coworker john will up you one with his shiny new 3G iphone!

ebay.com is pretty useless, seeing as america is the only place in the world where you cant buy an unsubsidized iphone.

i suggest ebay.co.uk , where i will be listing iphones for you american folks to purchase.

i guess your release date is more like July 13th/14th earliest ... unless you want a 24 month expensive contract

How will you be selling phones on eBay without the o2 contract and what sort of price are we talking about here? I just paid £260 for my iPhone 2 months ago which was a good price, and if I sold it thanks to the iPhone hysteria right now I could get the same price back, nearly. Just look on eBay prices of iPhones have GONE UP (and this is the first gen)
