iPhone 4 Details:
Apple A4 chip, like iPad.
Two low-power 128 DDR SDRAM chips (faster processing, less battery needed)
960x640 resolution, 326 pixels per inch (HIGH resolution, sharper graphics) “Text looks like you’ve seen in a fine printed book”
Front facing camera with bigger sensor and lens. Higher res video and pictures. Camera has a built in flash.
Video conferencing, both with Apple software and third parties.
16% bigger battery.
Micro SIM.
Black glass and aluminum rim.
Smaller size but heavier (+3 grams)
Split buttons for volume.
New iPhone OS allows multiple programs to remain open at the same time.


Do I want one? Yes. My current iPhone 3G is getting kind of old (It’s like 1.75 years old now) and could use a little update. Plus my birthday is in August, my contract is up in August, I’m home in August, I think that’ll be the time when I get a new iPhone…

First off - until the start of this year, my last cellphone lasted me 8.5 years before I replaced it, so consider yourself lucky (pesky kids ;) ). Secondly. I’d be allll, and I mean alllll over this, except for the extra cost per month, to, effectively “rent it” from the cellphone providers. If I could buy this thing for say £399 (approx. $580, ‘cause Apple always rips us UK peeps off) “off contract”, then I would. But I can’t, so it’s back to listening out for iPod Touch rumors.
