SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Apple Inc. has unveiled an upgraded iPhone with a faster Internet connection and satellite navigation capabilities -- priced $200 lower than current models, but with more expensive service. Analysts have said Apple needed to slash the multimedia gadget's price and upgrade it to work over so-called 3G, or third-generation, wireless networks to hit the company's target of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. An 8 gigabyte model is to sell for $199 starting July 11. A 16 gigabyte model will cost $299. The devices are to roll out initially in 22 countries. Apple has inked deals for wireless carriers in a total of 70 countries to carry the new iPhone. AT&T Inc., the exclusive U.S. carrier for the phone, said its plans for the phone will start at $39.99 per month, plus $30 for unlimited data. That works out to be a $10 increase from the cheapest plan for the first-generation iPhone.

What do you think? Burn you up? Make you think the old one is a waste of money? Or are you excited the new iPhone will be cheaper and better?

Thanks for blogging,
Corrina

Hi Corrina,
How was your vacation? Went To St.Louis? If you did go to St. Louis hope you did not have your dinner interupted by the storms.
WOW $300!!! They say that is cheap? Must be made of gold. I am just going to say it. With the ecomomy in shambles the oil prices on the up and up and an election year that spells trouble for...it is amazing people can run out and by this $300 phone and it is not even made out of gold!!!

I think I will pass on this one too! I am waiting out my contract with Nextel right now! *sigh* I hear that once you get one of those phones, not only do you pay for the phone, but then you have to pay for all of the services it provides. Apple makes an awesome computer, their phone is probably just as awesome, but I can't see spending the extra every month!

Rottie, how much are the extras a month? Do you know?

I received the i-phone as a x-mas gift. I'm trying to get my fiance to exchange phones with me. It's great and all but I personally get frustrated with the key pad when I'm trying to text or to send an e-mail (which I do a lot of). I tried using a stylus but does not work with the i-phone. Honestly I want to go back to the blackberry. My daughter uses my I-phone for videos, music, and pictures and my fiance is always looking for directions while we are driving. I guess is good for some people but not for others (like myself). As for paying extra for the service I had to shell out an extra $20.00 a month not bad for everything you can do.

Pointless to buy this phone right now, considering rumors are already floating as to an upgraded model with improved data capability coming out at the end of this year or beginning of next year. Was leaked that a 45kbps download iPhone would be available soon by a VP of one of the company's carrying the phone in Australia.
