As above I got a text from carphonewarehouse yesterday afternoon saying they were going to call me to offer me the chance to order an iphone 4.  Sure enough a woman called and did the upgrade and I'm over the moon I don't have to camp for one tomorrow morning.

I have to say, after it all sunk in I did start to think it could be a scam :laugh:

But just called carphonewarehouse to confirm it is genuine and they have processed my order, so if you get a call and are sat there thinking this is too good to be true, don't hang up :laugh:

Anyone else been lucky enough to get one?  My girlfriend barely spoke to me last night, seems she's camping alone :P

I ordered from Apple and got an email last night saying it had dispatched. I'm hoping there might be some early deliveries like there was with the iPad :party:

I dont see the point in the iphone 4, a 3GS and an iPad seems more logical. Unless you have an upgrade of course.

i never got a 3gs as i had a 3g and have held off getting an ipad as a few of my mates say they hardly use it now the novelty has worn off

the iphone 4 is new and shiny and I want it  :happy2:

lol fair enough!

I will wait for the updated version of both the ipad and iphone 4, they dont usually take very long to update there new products with a 'facelift', should be around christmas time i expect.

Eh, why? One is a smartphone, one is a device for consuming media at home...

Indeed, however i use my iphone for what i would use an iPad for (internet, games etc) and it costs the same as an iPad (my contract has 12 months left) so, as i said, i dont see why you would buy one unless upgrading.

There are way too many scenarios to go into where buying an iPhone 4 makes sense. I agree that your personal circumstances mean it's pretty pointless but what about someone who doesn't have an iPhone and doesn't need a computer?

Of course, but then they would have a phone (for calls etc) and an iPad for internet, movies etc.

There are lots of scenarios where im sure someone would benefit and the same where the opposite would apply.

Upgrading makes sense but spending near £500 for a 3GS with a better camera seems mad!

Flogged my old 3G for the same as the cost of the new 4G.  :evilgrin:

As apple say, this changes everything.  Again!

This really is the biggest change since the original came out.  I didn't upgrade to the 3gs, I didn't feel there was enough difference to justify the cost, however i was lucky and got it swapped to a 3gs under insurance 9 months ago and then swapped again under warranty and sold on saturday.

So I'm making £50 by signing back to a £35 a month contract.  No brainer for me, I considered paying the £600 outright but having it delivered on release date or driving to brum to camp made the decision pretty straight forward :smiley:

It's not a 3GS with a better camera it has:

Faster processor (almost double speed 1GHZ vs 600mhz)
Better GPS
Better Battery
Better Screen
HD Video recording capability
Better Wifi (N Class)
Better Graphics (double memory at 512mb)

Yeah, that would be well cheap too! :stupid:
