Do you think the price will go down on the current iPhone's and this take their price range?

iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 video calls, anywhere there is WiFi.

That a handy video call function :rolleyes:

Even my nokia from a good few years back could do it over the cellular network!

No shocks and all the leaks took the excitement out of it a bit but all in all a good update. I didn't think the 3GS was enough of a step up from the 3G so skipped it. This one is a big step up from the 3G and quite a step up from the 3GS.

Dissapointments

1) no 64GB, which is surprising, possibly supply issues with flash delayed it?

2) No radio, but not overly surprised. Apple appear to believe that having radio available with ads they can't control isn't the way they are ever going to go

Deep Thought

Due an upgrade, Bring it on....

Looks amazing. I will defo be gettting one of these :-)

Wow looks great. But I can not believe there is no memory upgrade. This is what I really wanted. The dilemma I have now is that if I upgrade, what if a 64gb comes out in a couple of months..

I'm not sure if its quite a step up from the 3GS. The iOS 4 will have some great features for the 3GS. If you go through the 8 features, there really isn't anything there that would make me scrap my 3GS.

Going from a 3G to the Iphone 4 is a leap as not all the iOS functions will work on the 3G.

Vodafone will have it all right.

Doubtful that there'll be any sort of price war, but what you will see is people moving from O2 to Vodafone and vice versa based on availability of stock. Thats my plan anyway.

It's not the same leap alright, but the screen is 4 times the res and with IPS better colour quality, it's a lot thinner, the glass and metal sides as antennae should give better reception, battery life is up 15% or so, it will be much quicker I'd guess with A4 chip. The camera should give much better pics, with way better ISO sensitivity with 2MP better resolution as well as LED flash. 720p video recording is a big step up from the 3GS VGA resolution.

It's a much bigger step up than the 3GS was from the 3G imo.

They're the bill pay prices. Really, from the current pricing system, across both voda and o2, could you not have made an educated guess?

Im wondering will O2 offer the same price plans for iphone 4 as the 3gs??

I was disappointed that the video calling is iphone - iphone and wifi only, but i just watched a video of a call in action and i dont think any current 3g network can handle it.

right now the ios4 appeals to me more than the hardware (but the retina resolution is impressive) so i wont be upgrading anytime soon. my 3gs running jailbroken ios4 will suit me fine.

Ive my 3gs 12months next month will i be entitled to an upgrade to iphone 4??
