    Planning on picking up a 16gb iPhone in about a week but will wait a couple weeks if there is a new one coming out soon. Haven't had time to keep up with the rumors, anybody been keeping up with what is going on?

    Apple will launch the new iphones with 3G within three month or so. From what I understand current iphone supply is dwindling due to the upcoming new 3G version. I'd wait until then.

    Btw, this site is the best source for anything Apple related.

    I would wait if I were you as well. 3g should be a bit faster than edge.

    Depends on the changes of the new model. If it is 'just' 3g, then resell prices should be higher, ~150-250(I have no idea). If we see an entirely new form factor and features, then resell prices will be lower.

    Well, to me "next gen" should be using MCC/ATC technology. And BTW, ULA just launched a satellite for ICO yesterday.

    "The MSS/ATC System is designed to support a portfolio of mass-market wireless services, including traditional voice, text messaging and other narrowband applications; support a range of broadband applications, including multicast data and/or video from the satellite and terrestrial segments, as well as two-way broadband depending upon the level of terrestrial segment deployment; provide a nationwide integrated satellite-terrestrial service enabling nationwide coverage, with a terrestrial network of a scope and size to enable improved coverage and capacity; utilize portable devices (such as laptops or personal digital assistant (PDAs)) and handsets (such as current cellular phones) to improve the consumer acceptance of the services; support a range of radio protocols, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), global system for mobile communications (GSM), digital video broadcasting (DVB) or orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), allowing for the integration of a range of services and devices; and leverage the proximity to the personal communication services (PCS) and advanced wireless services (AWS) spectrum with a network architecture facilitating integration with terrestrial partners."

    ICO competes with L-band, Mobile Satellite Ventures (with SkyTerra), Inmarsat Global Ltd, TerreStar, Globalstar LLC and Iridium Satellite LLC.
