The Outsider Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Most likely will, but not immediately - in around a month or two.
Rajiv Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 DUDE.. even rogers gives unlimited browsing for 30 a month... when you get the iphone. Well, its 6 gb per month, but that is waaaaaaaaaay more than you are ever going to use.. consider it unlimited. think about it.. are you going to download 6 gb on your phone in 1 month??? On Thursday, Rogers introduced a data-only promotional plan that starts at $30 a month for up to 6GB of data usage, on a three-year contract. just checked it..not sure what to do now..that increases the mnthly
Holysmoke Posted July 10, 2008 Author Posted July 10, 2008 just checked it..not sure what to do now..that increases the mnthly think about it. How much do you need the 3g? If you're a man on the go, then you need it. If its home->office->home, you probably dont need it. (assuming office and home have wifi)

Rajiv Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 First Reviews: iPhone 3G Improved, But Still Flawed Is the iPhone 3G worth waiting in line for? Early reviewers of Apple's new smartphone are mostly positive, but share some common gripes about battery life and two aspects of dealing with AT&T: service plan costs and skimpy 3G coverage areas. The New York Times' David Pogue, Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and USA Today's Ed Baig, the Holy Trinity of Apple's marketing department, all received the phone about two weeks ago. (Most other reviewers, including ours, will have to wait with everyone else to buy one tomorrow morning.) All three reviewers liked the first generation iPhone and they all like the second generation even better. Pogue's bottom line: "So the iPhone 3G is a nice upgrade. It more than keeps pace with advancing technology, and new buyers will generally be delighted." Mossberg concludes: "If you've been waiting to buy an iPhone until it dropped in price, or ran on faster cell networks, you might want to take the plunge, if you can live with the higher service costs and the weaker battery life." Baig is more effusive: "... this handheld marvel has no equal among consumer-oriented smartphones." Mixed in with the raves are a fair number of complaints, however. The 3G Network: Mossberg says downloads were 3 to 5 times faster on the 3G iPhone than on the standard iPhone. Baig accepts Apple's claims that the new phone is twice as fast as the old version. Loading popular Web sites took 10 to 30 seconds, he says. But all three reviewers complained about holes in AT&T's 3G coverage, despite the fact that they're all based in and around New York. Imagine what the coverage will be like in rural Iowa. Actually, David Pogue did more than imagine. He points out that according to AT&T's 3G coverage map "in 16 states, only three cities or fewer are covered; 10 states have no coverage at all." And you guessed it, Iowa is one of them. Mossberg says he found problems even in Manhatten: "In New York City, riding in a taxi along the Hudson, one important call was dropped three times on the new iPhone. Finally, I borrowed a cheap Verizon phone and got perfect reception." Battery Life: Mossberg's tests found that the iPhone 3G delivered 4 hours and 27 minutes of talk time. "More important," he said, "in daily use, I found the battery indicator on the new 3G model slipping below 20% by early afternoon or midafternoon on some days, and it entirely ran out of juice on one day." As with the first iPhone, you can't replace the battery in the iPhone 3G, meaning you have to charge early and often or use workarounds. Mossberg says he used Wi-Fi for data transactions instead of 3G, turned down the screen brightness and turned 3G off entirely at times to save juice. Cost: All three reviewers point out that despite a drop in the cost of the iPhone itself, having one will end up costing you more than a first-gen iPhone. That's because of increases in the cost of AT&T's phone and data plans. Though you save $200 on the phone, you'll pay $240 more for the service over the life of the two-year contract you must purchase, Mossberg writes. GPS: The bottom line on the iPhone's new GPS capabilities is that they're nice, but limited. Pogue points out that they can't provide turn-by-turn directions, just show you as a blue spot moving along a map-- and sometimes it can't even do that. "The metal of a car or the buildings of Manhattan are often enough to block the iPhone's view of the sky, leaving it just as confused as you are," he writes. Business Support: Apple has boasted that the new iPhone will work much better with corporate e-mail servers. Baig reports on connecting the iPhone 3G to his company's e-mail network and he comes away impressed. "Messages and calendar entries are 'pushed' to the device, so they show up right away, just as they do on other computers. With your employer's blessing, set-up is a relative cinch." Mossberg points out a potentially serious problem, though: "While you can have both personal and Exchange email accounts on the new iPhone, if you synchronize with Exchange calendars and contacts, your personal calendar and contacts are erased." Third-party Apps: Mossberg and Baig tried a few early iPhone apps and liked what they found. Baig says Cro-Mag, a caveman racing game that uses the phone's accelerometer to steer, is "difficult but fun." Mossberg believes "the iPhone has a chance to become a true computing platform with wide versatility." Audio Quality: All the reviewers commented on the new iPhone's improved audio quality. "You sound crystal clear to your callers, and they sound crystal clear to you. In fact, few cellphones sound this good," Pogue raved. Mossberg concurs, but complains "the new phone produced an echo when used with the built-in Bluetooth system in my car." What's Still Missing: The consensus is that the iPhone still has some significant deficiencies:-- No voice dialing-- No video recording-- A limited camera-- No memory-card slot-- No copy and paste function-- No MMS for sending photos to other phones-- No Bluetooth stereo audio-- No support for Adobe Flash, Windows Media Video or Java None of those complaints, though, seriously dimmed the reviewers admiration of the new iPhone. "While not everything on my wish list made it onto the new device," Baig says, "Apple has raised the bar with iPhone 3G. To which I offer an enthusiastic thumbs up."

King Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 The IPhones have made their way into NZ recently. It costs $199 to get one but the plans are a spoilsport. It costs $250 per month to be on a 1G data transfer plan and that is ridiculous. I'm not going to get one.

How is the market in Canada?(i assume u work on canadian homes) - does it have any downturn coz of US housing slump? Well...US housing market...especially California has slumped real bad...part of the reason is economy and also their Banks are very lienent while giving mortgages....and any tom dick or harry with a very basic job and a half decent credit history bought house in the booming era. Here Banks are very strict....only people with very good credit history who have decent income are given mortgage...hence there a very few defaulters. Thanks for wishing me luck...:thumbs_up:
