"more and more, Apple's main advantage is its app ecosystem rather than the phone itself."

@d0minick: Watch out though... Mine worked fine for 6 months, then one day, bam! Dock connector corroded to the point where it won't connect to a charger. So fully working phone that can never charge again. Very sad.

Well I had a 3GS, dropped it in the turlet, and am now using my original iPhone. So I can assure you I will be in line on launch day. This thing that was amazingly revolutionary in 2007 is more than a little frustrating after using the latest model for 9 months.

Appropriate article as I read the giz, engadget, and gdgt liveblogs.

@thor79: I will also be watching very closely this afternoon. Too bad Giz isn't invited, may have to go with Engadget's liveblog.

@popeyoni: According to the Appleinsider article that just dropped on the subject, the ones that get early upgrade are people paying over $99 per line. I'm on a family plan as well, so that could be why.

@Fanboy: Haha that would be. Nope, it gave me this:

@ddhboy: I see 12 million page views on the iPhone 4 leak article that say you're wrong.

@veedubu: Me too, but I tried today and it offered a "higher discounted price with 2-year agreement".

I got a 3GS on launch day last year, and I'm not showing eligible. 3G owners only?

@Zukis: Haha same here. How sad of us.

@Simoniz: I always just open them individually in new tabs.
