This might be slightly foolish to ask at this early early early stage but what about w/o a contract. Â Currently Apple offers that for iPhone 4. Â What about the 4S?
Not happy that I have waited and waited, I could have gotten a iPhone 4 8 months ago but I kept waiting for 5 and now this. I think I might just go elsewere, this should have been out 6 months ago. where is the larger screen, etc

Ah, but is the $99 iPhone 4 price with or without contract?

I’ve never pre-ordered before, but plan to do so this time. Do preorders start at midnight on the 7th?
With contract
