Of Time and the City
I finally looked at this iPhone 2.0 video from two or three months ago. I thought the new phone, due later this month, was supposed to be (a) faster loading in terms of websites, (b) have a sharper, higher pixel-level camera, and (c) offer a longer-lasting battery. The 2.0 allows you to selectively delete mail, which is very welcome, but if it doesn't have the three features I've listed, is it worth shelling $400 if you already have last year's iPhone? I'm asking.

Jeff - Firmware is different than new phone hardware.

As bildeaux mentioned. The video is showing one of the beta versions of the iPhone 2.0 software. This software will be available to all iPhone users for free. It is rumored to be released on Monday 6/9 at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference. Also rumored to be released is the new iPhone hardware. The hardware will have a 3G radio which will allow it to hook into the higher speed networks here in the US and around the world. There have been some rumors of a higher pixel camera and longer battery life, but I wouldn't bet on this. However, it should have GPS, which would be very handy. It may also be a subsidized phone, so it may be available for $199 or so. Anyway, all questions will be answered in a few days.

What those guys said. No one knows outside of Apple what the actual iPhone Deux will be packing.

I don't think any phone is worth $400.
