I saw this while wasting time and it amused me, so I thought I would share:

As someone who has broken an iPhone while in a pretty but not so strong case (and had to pay for a new one) I'm NEVER going without a case.

Also, one thing I didn't mention in my OP (once again, courtesy of Mac Rumors):

iPhone OS 4 Becomes iOS 4, Available June 21 for Free

In addition to announcing the new iPhone 4 at today's WWDC keynote event, Steve Jobs reviewed the upcoming iPhone OS, now known as iOS 4. Previously announced at a special event in April, the OS update will include multi-tasking, a unified inbox, folders, and other features. Newly-announced today is the inclusion of Bing as an additional search engine option as well as the iBooks app, which is currently only available for the iPad.

iOS 4 has been declared Golden Master Candidate and will be publicly released on June 21st. It will be a free upgrade for existing iPhone and iPod touch owners, though depending on the age of your device not all features many be available. This is the first time that a major OS update has been free for iPod touch owners.

From a previous Mac Rumors post:

Quote:

While the iPhone 3GS and late 2009 32 GB and 64 GB third-generation iPod touch will be fully-compatible with iPhone OS 4.0, earlier models of the devices will not support all of the features announced today. Notably even the iPhone 3G and second-generation iPod touch will not support multitasking. iPhone OS 4.0 will also come to the iPad in the fall.

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.

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.

Steve, I love you buddy, but you REALLY need to get a boyfriend...

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

innerSpaceman · 06-07-2010, 08:27 PM

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.
