I would just think that if they were real, Apple would immediately send a cease and desist letter. As stated previously, the design is slowly growing on me.
I hate to say but I really don't like it yet. I'm sure it will grow on me and it won't keep me from getting it when it comes out, but there is just something about that does not look as elegant as the 3GS.
That iPhone looks incredible. With this phone and the OS upgrade there is a good chance I will be sitting in line for this phone rain or shine. I am a blackberry converter, I had a touch and didn't realize how much i loved it until it was stolen. I am so excited...
So now gizmodo.com has a story about how they got it.
I like how it's not rounded, just don't know about those volume buttons. Guess I will have to see how it is in real life
They wont be able to please everyone but damn will they please me if this is hot it's going to look. I love this new look and I will be getting one as soon as it's for sale. I am glad I didn't bother getting a 3Gs and I've started saving already.
I've been reading that the phone is considered to be stolen and that the company that owns gizmodo possibly found the person with the phone and buying it from them. I'm just wondering how can you buy something that is Apple's property? Why hasn't Apple gone to get it back they know where it is? I'm sure you guys have already seen it but this is taken from Daring Fireball
"Gizmodo Paid for iPhone 4G Prototype ★
Gawker chief Nick Denton on Twitter, in response to this question about how Gizmodo came into possession of a prototype next-generation iPhone:
Yes, we?re proud practitioners of checkbook journalism. Anything for the story!
Consider that if the device was truly lost by mistake, they have cost at least one person their career. And if the device was not lost but stolen? well, the story behind this unit is almost certainly more interesting than the device itself. And the device is fascinating.
Anyway, I heard yesterday from multiple sources that Gizmodo paid for the unit."
If this were the final product or not I would not be shocked either way. But I like it a lot actually after the gizmodo shots. Pretty slick.
If they dropped this design on me I'd be happy if it's even better sweet. If they did something more like the already used design after seeing this I would be highly disappointed. The removable battery, I've been dying for that since the 1st generation. See I just don't understand if they feel like they own the phone now because they paid for it? It still remains Apple's property especially if they consider it stolen. I'm just surprised at Apple's non action so far which is not what I expected at all. I almost feel sorry for the Apple employee that lost the phone because Apple's gotta be blasting them about now. I just read the story on gizmodo and I don't know if I beleive that it sounds so scripted and fake. Damn now I'm going to be dying for 2 months to see if this is the damn phone.
