Default Semi official 3G Iphone thread

I'm getting one now. (well on July 11th)

http://gizmodo.com/5014675/the-3g-iphone-i...starting-at-199

Key Features:
Charcoal Back
Solid Metal Buttons
Same 3.5" Display
Camera
Flush Headphone Jack
Dramatically Improved Audio

3G Advantage
Showing a EDGE vs 3G comparison loading a webpage, 3G took 21 seconds. EDGE...waiting...waiting...uhh...59 seconds! Same phone, same location. 2.8X faster - and they claim loads webpages faster than Nokia N95 (33 seconds) or Treo 750 (34 seconds).

Battery Life
8-10 hours of talk time
5 hours 3G talk time
5-6 hours of browing
24 hours of audio battery

And GPS!

And it's coming to 70 countries over the "next several months."

More Affordable
$199 for 8GB

$299 for 16GB (which also comes in white)

$199 + $599 (for a computer that can interface with it) + $199 (monitor to hook up to said computer) = One fuggin' expensive phone.

Minimum OS required to sync with the iPod requires a computer I don't want to buy right now. Ass.
