I think the article nailed it - something big is coming down the pipes and they want to lock people in. I know earlier I said the VZ iPhone rumors that I heard were that it wasn't coming (and again, not some super secret rumor, just someone with the same knowledge of what WB was hearing) and I asked again and heard what WB did.

The upcoming months will be very interesting between what may or may not be happening with the iPhone and VZ and the new Android phones and software that are coming out. I'm glad my "upgrade" period doesn't start until November, and even then it's only 1 year into my contract and not prime upgrading time but the "buy out" vs. upgrade/extend cost differential may be minimal.

As for how well this form works, I'd have to try it and see what impact "pausing" has. I have several apps that I frequently use simultaneously where I wouldn't want them to stop when I had something else in the foreground but I'd probably get used to it.

All somewhat moot for me since I'm pretty sure the iPhone still has a virtual keyboard which my use of test phones at work has confirmed is a showstoppe for me. I'm just old.

Except me.

Ok, fine. Nobody I remember ever discussing it with.

Mostly I'm thinking about a cadre of Mac developers at work and a couple other people I've had in person conversations with. I'm sure we've discussed it here but I don't remember any of those details.

Kevy, I'm sure I will drop it at some point. That's when I will upgrade to the new phone. But if I buy a product partly due to its aesthetic, I would not be getting my money's worth to destroy that aesthetic. I thought I wasn't doing that with a transparent case - - but when it broke off in a fall, I realized I'd been fooling myself.

And yes, I am fully aware of the irony. The fall that revealed my phone's latent sexiness would kill it now if it happened again when I'm letting that sexiness go fully expressed. That's ok by me. There's no price tag on all the boners my naked iPhone gives me.

Very excited. I completely disagree with iSm. I think the iPhone 4 looks awesome

not sure I ever said, I did end going with the iPhone. (thanks to all who helped me decide)

and mine is in about as un-sezzy, but secure cover I could find.

well...except for the yellow. thats too un-sezzy even for me

If I was keeping it in a case, I wouldn't mind the new phone. In fact, I'd definitely keep it in a case to hide it's boxiness. I love the Eve-ness of my current phone - so until fate pries it out of my damp, slippery hands - - I'm sticking with it.

Yes, Kevy, I need a boyfriend bad. For now, it's me and my EvePhone. We're in love.
