Looks like Apple is sold out for launch day. 1-2 weeks now.

Sprint still has the 32 and 64 gig in stock on their website.

Photo Stream is great, but it's a huge annoyance that you cannot seem to delete anything from it (at least on iOS devices).
I take a bunch of iPhone screen caps and such and as far as I can tell, there's no way to get rid of them other than waiting 30 days or whatever.

It's the fact that it's 2+ year old software. There's nothing innovative or unique about it barring some specifics of the implementation. OS X isn't touting 2 year old features upon launch as a selling point - those features should have been standard long ago.

Didn't they say that they needed the A5 processing power to get Siri to work right?
But it's apple here. Beats the excuse with how they couldn't get the % battery indicator on iphone 3g >.>"

Ya, and it will obliterate your iCloud storage. The photos and videos I have on my phone already exceed the free storage for me already. I had to turn it off and just went back to normal backup.

Just turn Photo Stream off and keep using iCloud?

Does not count against photos!
Though only keeps the last 1000, but it also automatically goes to your iPhoto album or on your PC so it takes care of that.
The "Killing Data" part is plausible I guess.

iPhone has had Voice Control for years. Siri is a whole new thing. It's had apps on mobile devices, but now it's completely built into the core OS.Loki said:

You're absolutely insane. Apple bought siri, what, 2 years ago? You think they've been sitting on their ass for those 2 years? They've obviously been working on it since then. Nothing innovative or unique? There's nothing even CLOSE to what it does on anything else. It is, and this isn't overstating, revolutionary. There wasn't anyone who wasn't blown away from the hands-on impressions. Go check Engadget and ThisisMyNext impressions, among others- they've tried every single device out there, and were shocked at how good this was. They even tried to screw it up, but couldn't. The live demo worked with 100% accuracy every single time, something amazing in and of itself. Those features 'should have been standard long ago'?? Really?? That's one hell of an expectation, considering noone had it standard, and noone will have anything like it standard in the near future except for Apple.
No offense, but you're utterly clueless as to what's a huge step forward. Voice control has always been extremely limited, finicky, and unreliable- which is why pretty much noone uses it. Just like touchscreen devices before the iPhone, mp3 players before the iPod, tablets before the iPad, appstores before the Appstore, I can go on and on. And every single time, the arguments are the same- LOL MP3 PLAYERS ALREADY EXIST. LOL TABLETS ALREADY EXIST AND THEY SUCK. Like everything else that Apple makes, this will be the first intuitive and useable implementation of voice tech, and the mainstream will actually start using it because of that standard. Your argument is completely irrelevant and off-base, and it is made every single time, in the same assinine way, and these people never learn.

oh is photo stream thing out for non dev accounts? Is it a separate application, browser or what?
Is there anything for windows yet?

Photo Stream does not upload to the cloud while on 3G, it would wait until you connect to WiFi. And under iCloud > Documents and Data you have an option of disabling cellular for that stuff. It's just bookmarks/calendar/contacts/reminders/notes (all tiny stuff) that sync over 3G.
Gary Whitta said:
The worst part is Apple does not communicate this at all when you enable Photo Stream. I can see a lot of people being angry when they realize they aren't able to delete stuff from Photo Stream, especially those who take naughty pics. Though on the upside, this might lead to more celebrity nudes leaking out.

The original person I responded to didn't specify. He just said photos would be uploaded to the cloud to which I responded it would take a hit on your iCloud storage.
Sean said:
Wait what? Photo Stream doesn't work over 3G? Why is it grouped with a bunch of things that are updateable over 3G? I hope Apple has a good FAQ of how all of this works out there because trying to figure it out from the Settings is very confusing.

I dunno you might be right, but I'm leaning towards the fact that having Siri deeply integrated into iOS itself and not just running as a separate app requires the extra processing power and possibly more RAM to keep the phone operating as smoothly as they want it to. Plus if I had to guess Siri is just going to keep getting bigger, better but also more demanding, so even if the iPhone 4 could handle it fine right now, there might come a time when it can't which could cause more problems than just making it iPhone 4S or better exclusive from the startLoki said:

What will be interesting is to see if it can be made available when you jailbreak an iPhone 4.
Marty Chinn said:
I had always assumed Photo Stream worked over 3G as well but after checking just a few minutes ago on the GM, it says in small print underneath (after you click through): "Photo Stream automatically uploads new photos to iCloud and downloads them to all of your devices when connected to Wi-Fi."
It would be nice if they included a toggle option for those of us on unlimited data plans.

Also, am I the only one who noticed how all the old Android threads are being bumped lately? I wonder why ;P

Can someone explain to me why the fuck there is absolutely no consistency in design of the dock icons, and how every single one looks like it's in a different style, created by a different designer? So disjointed. I actually want to buy this phone if it's good, but I've seen other pics of ICS, and the UI simply looks horrendous.

I have ordered two phones on Apple, one on my itunes account and the other on my gf's. I want to change the shipping addresses to my work. Is it possible for both accounts or just my account? What will I need to be able to change her shipping address for this order? I have ordered both using my CC.

I just gave them the order number and verified the billing info. They were more than helpful in changing my shipping and one of them wasnt even under my CC. 1-800-my-appleduracell017 said:
I have this all the time with O2, it's not a network specific problem it's a coverage specific problem. I don't think you're going to know how good/bad a carrier is for you specifically without trying them out (or knowing somebody that has similar movements to you).KingDizzi said:
I've been with O2 these past two years and the reception in the two places I spend 90%+ of my time (home/work) is shocking. So even if Three is the same I'm not missing out, and obviously if they're better I'm on a winner (and paying a lot less as well).
I'm picking up a Sena case. A colleague at work has one and it's great, really nice soft leather - fits the phone perfectly.JackEtc said:
Not sure what to do but hope that some are still available. Bloody O2.roosters93

makes sense, but I wonder how it fits in the pants pocket. if that odd shape has any consequences when it comes to storage.

It's silly, but I'm really excited about this. I had an iPhone 4 until earlier the iPad launched this year, when I sold it (to pay for said iPad) and got a HTC Desire in its place.
For me, Android just isn't the same...I don't hate it, but I think that it's clunky and unattractive in comparison, with an inferior selection of quality apps. I know I could tinker with it and customise it and so on, but I have no interest in doing so. It's good, but it isn't for me - that goes for the newer iterations (which the Desire stopped getting a few months (months!) after release) too, as I've played around with them on friends' phones.
As a result, barring disaster, I'm spending several cold, dark hours queuing to get one of these unlocked on Friday morning. I'm thrilled to be on my way back to the fold.
