Apple iPhone 4G - New Mongering Phone

Steve Jobs announces the new iPhone 4G with new features and functions that will be ideal for mongering - 5M pixel camera with LED flash, front end camera, video recording in 720p, longer battey life, etc. What's not to like about this phone - well apart from safari doesn't accept flash websites

Best of all, it's available very soon. Well in the US and 4 other countries at the end of the month. HK will be in July Time to call my mobile phone provider to reserve one

This would be addressed in a future software update. Apple has an alternative technology in the works.  Apple has this ongoing feud with Adobe which is the creator of flash and refuses to use their technology. Think this is a super phone and will destroy the rest of the competition.

Finally an iphone with a decent camera module. Although it would have been better with an 8 or 12mpx as seen in other top of the range models from Nokia, SE, Samsung...

A 8 GB 3 GS models are now selling for $99 USD.  I bet even at $99 there is still a profit.  Most people already KNEW most of the features and what was coming from the two iphone lost by Apple.  In other words, there were not many surprises.

During the demo by Steve Jobs the wi fi  stop working.  

The data plan by ATT is highway robbery. 30 USD for month.

Is there a Iphone 4 clone soon....

Most notable new feature apart from the new camera is the multitasking. You can now use several applications at the same time which will be great for free calls on SKYPE. You could switch around and look up data, send files while still having a conversation on SKYPE which you cannot do before. You would not have to close ongoing apps when you switch to another app. AWESOME!

It's usually more expensive in HK than other places like the UK or North American in the begiinning?

Do you have to get a data plan like in the USA for phones like 3 GS in HK ?

From what I understand, you don't need a get a data plan if you use wifi but ATT requires it plus 2 years.

From past history, you should be patient purchasing the new iPhone as they will cost about 100% more than in the US when first sold by parallel importers in HK. This will last for a month or even longer until Apple in HK stocks up enough to sell at the regular price which should be the same as in the US. I assume this new model will be sold unlocked in HK as in previous iPhone models sold in HK, Macau and Singapore.

A good example was the IPAD.  A guy from the USA brought about 20 back to sell in Mong Kok, HK.  HK / China did not have them yet. He sold them about 300 USD more than what he paid for them at the time.  So my suggestion to "PAKA" is to get the phone in North American if possible.  You can get the Iphone 4 by late June in North America but with a data plan.

Its gonna come to HK in July or August. No info about it on the HK appstore but the price of the 3gs has dropped by about 1000HKD.

I will get this phone sometime end of the year during christman. I love the new and slimmer phone and also the 5MP camera, definitely a huge boost from my iphone3g.

They're a beautiful piece of technology. but I have to admit I would be worried about walking around with such an small, very expensive, object sitting in my pocket. If I was a crim I might target these new iphones the way crims target the latest BMW.

New iPhone will be like "old" 3GS very quickly. Also don't know how thieves will know what phone you are carrying unless you walk around all day with your face to it making video phone calls.

Yes, in 12 months we will see something better at the same price.

These new Iphone has GPS. If your phone gets stolen,  you can track it.  

These new phones like the Iphone and Droid are too fragile. I know at least 3 people that have a smart phone with the front face cracked.

I expected more from the 4g. I mean 5mp, wtf. They might aswell get a vga camera, the apple fanatics will still defend it.
Ok, it has a front camera, for what? when was the last time you had video call or video conversation on the computer?

No Iphone for me, I want a sleek droid with 12mp camera instead.

I recently upgraded from iPhone 3G to Xperia X10. So far I like the x10.

I miss the speed of the iPhone's touch screen mainly, but I don't miss how restrictive iPhones are. They kind of lock you into their ecosystem. I think my next phone will be a droid too.

with a 5MP camera, its the perfect phone for taking pics of WG and posting them on 141.  Wonder if it will end the debate on which camera phone is best for mongering?

They only need stand in a busy wi-fi area and wait for someone with the new phone to pull it out and make a call or view an email,etc. and follow. A lot of the early adopters like to be seen using it, it's a prestige thing.
