also, where does apple get off introducing "video calling" as something brand new never been done before and you have to be on a wifi connection to do it. i liked engadget's comment on their liveblog during steve's keynote, "hey rest of the world, how do you feel about steve finally catching up?"

I think I read that they can only do video conferencing via a wifi connection, correct me if I am wrong? Still will be nice, EVO and i4 being some of the only phones with the capability.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think Nokia phones have had that capability for a while now.

I have a question, can you use Qik on a 3G connection? Or does it have to be 4G?

sprint plans are still cheaper.

Just because we may pay less than an average Iphone users on ATT, we are still getting screwed. We have to pay a extra $10 for a "richer data experience" while already having a unlimited data plan.

How I feel about everybody being all happy and chipper about it is Sprint will see this and take their inch and make it it into 10miles over time.

Here is something funny I find about the Iphone 4. One of the big marketing points they make is the steel band around the phone acts as an antenna. So is this Apple's implied way of admitting that the bad call quality of previous Iphones were cause of hardware issues? And it took them 3 revisions to fix that LOL.

more likely its them trying to fix att's network problem for them. since apple can't fix it themselves they had to do something because the iphone was getting a bad rap because of the network, i don't know about everywhere else but i get complaints from att customers using a lot of phone models, not just the iphone

No actually the iPhone hardware is superior to the EVO ....the iphone has an extra sensor and a hummingbird processor (which is more powerful and 45m so it is smaller and more efficient) thus more battery life.

Whats holding Apple back is as always the software...the only spec EVO beats the iPhone is on the camera....

Its kinda sad but when is HTC gonna release a WOW phone and not stick to minimum upgrading >.>

On Monday's Attack of the Show, of course they spent 15 minutes talking Iphone 4 and 6 seconds to talk about the strong sales of the EVO. But anyways, a guy on that show who was at the announcement show did say that the camcorder on the Iphone4 has the quality to replace a Flip recorder. I'll admit that is impressive, I don't think our EVO has that quality. But anyways, it will come down to personal preference. In the end I don't see myself owning an Iphone for a very long time. Just can't stand apples company attitude.
