  You should have asked some one else to record it for you. Doing it with one hand is too painfully slow and boring

  @taige For me it is the first time because I don’t have an iPhone yet. It is very exciting to me. This is weird but I actually dreamed about unwrapping my iPhone last night. I am not a fanatic who would line up hours or days to get one so I thought this was weird for me to dream about. It must be really happening to me too. I’m denying it but it’s true. I’m hooked on the iPhone!

  And I thought it was only me who has trouble getting anything made by Apple to work.

  Man, I was really feeling for you.

  I agree with tagie. Not so exciting as it was the first time back in June last year.

  @ dp

  Hey, bud, if you want slick, go to frigging apple.com and take in their marketing crap.

  I for one am really happy to get something that isn’t sanitized by Jobs’ marketing control freaks.

  Keep it real.

  Hey- I currently have the first gen. iPhone. How does the #G feel in your hand? I’ve heard its thicker…

  And one more thing. How durable do you think it is going to be? With the plastic back and all…

  Today is the first day in my life that I am thinking — Why was I born in India ????? Dying to get my hands on the new Iphone and f#$% - it launches by the end of the year. WTF

  @Jake-

  In terms of weight, I don’t think there is much of a difference. I’m sure there is, but it’s not noticeable to me or anyone else I’ve spoken to this morning. I’m actually really concerned with the new backing. I guarantee people won’t be dropping this one as much as they did the first gen. Chances are that it will crack. *gasp* I might have to put it in a case.

  C’MON ENOUGH ALREADY with articles on the bloody iPhone 2.0!!!

  Are the writers at TechCrunch being paid by Apple because the obsessive amount of articles on here relative to Apple’s market share or even their forecast market share is ridiculous!!!!!

  My HTC Diamond with HPDSA 3.5G is faster than the new iPhone has better WiFi and GPS, double the screen resolution and has other features which the iPhone doesn’t but what other mobiles have had for the past 14 months.

  I can also buy 3rd party applications without being locked into an Apple online store and can buy it unlocked.

  So, either give other phones the same coverage or CUT IT OUT ffs!
