Yeah, there's 2 clicks. One to focus (if you want) and then the shutter button.

I was just curious, I like having the separate shutter button, with or without 2 stage shutter focusing, or whatever (I had to check my phone to see if it had it, since I'm usually just clicking off quick pics and not composing shots). The button just seems more natural to me. The ability to use the + volume button would be a welcome addition to me I'd think.

My biggest fear is that this is a stop gap phone and the iPhone5 will be out in January or the Spring. I'd be really pissed if that happened.

My bet is that they know they'd anger a lot of people with a move like that, so they'll probably hold off. But what do I know??

Like I said, what do I know?


When the iPhone first came out it was really expensive and then they dropped the price a couple months later. The first people in line were really pissed. It took a lot of complaining before Apple gave them partial refunds.

Was hoping you said June!

I'm still undecided on it, have to to see if they start cutting any deals on it around Xmas for existing customers.

Apple doesn't cut deals. But you might see some refurbished ones by then.

This.

I am still on the fence. Since my phone is on its last leg, I need to make a decision in the next week or two. My contract is up. It would be pretty bush league of Apple to release a new handset again in early spring...I'd venture to guess it wouldn't be out until next fall. (keeping back with their 1 year timeline)

I think Sprint has some press announcement(4G?) set for this Friday, have to wait and see even though I doubt they will announce anything other than what Apple said yesterday as far as phones go.

I remember that now that you mention it.
