But I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to unlock it to wotk with T-Mobile like the current model. And with everyone saying that in order to get it at the $199 price tag you have to sign a contract, I might not get one after all. Only time will tell. I want the new iPhone for sure.

Nah, the A-GPS will triangulate based on cell towers initially...so as long as you have a signal, it will be fine. However, if you don't have any signal, it won't be able to triangulate...hence, GPS would then be useless. This is the main difference between GPS and A-GPS. GPS is based solely off of satellite communication and triangulation. Whereas A-GPS requires a cell signal to function at all.

Besides, 3G cuts your talk-time in half almost. A-GPS...yeah, it's not as fast as the demos make it look. I'm not sure any cellphones have *true* GPS. A-GPS simply uses cell towers to get within a block of where you are, and A-GPS kicks in to knock that down to within 15 feet. Please keep in my, the GPS functionality is primarily to help route you to your local Starbucks/etc...not necessarily save your life when you are stranded out in the middle of nowhere (where you probably don't have any signal...so it won't even work then).

I'm glad I passed on the 1st gen, $400~$500 is too much for my budget. At $199/$299, it's a steal. I'll probably pick up the black 16GB.

It feels like a Swiss Army Knife, in that the average consumer is never going to use half the stuff included. If it's the superior phone out there, then that's fantastic and sign me up. But AT&T will probably make you pay through the nose for the extra features, and I'm not sure if even a better network and reception is worth that. And is it just me, or did anyone else think of Star Trek IV watching Sarah outside the Apple Store? "Looking for Nuclear Wessels? Wessels?" There’s still something weird about the iPhone for me.
