How much stock is normally available for new phones, going by past experience? Is it impossible to get one within the first few weeks and months?

Experience with the iPhone 4 is that its almost impossible to get an 16GB model, unless your contracts already up and your quick onto the pre-order/waiting list scheme your network will hopefully be running.

32GB models are significantly easier to obtain, within a few days if willing to travel a bit.
 
I've had 2 16GB iPhone 4's since release, got them off ebay, cheaper than the Apple Store.

I've been on PAYG for ages and I'm thinking that now might be a good time to upgrade so I can get full 3G and not limited to 250MB a month

is going to be better, thats all people need to know
its the same as gfx cards i find, you dont need it, but you must have it.
i will be getting it regardless, ive sold my ip4 to fund this so i need a new phone now anyway as im using the wifes uber **** 3g, how bad are 3g iphones, to say this was the phone to have back in the day :o

I wonder if the sizes will be 16GB and 32GB as normal or whether we will see a 64GB version this year?

Apple won't do a 64GB version because then they'd be competing with their own products, namely the iPad and iPod Touch.

Your alarmed? Why? even if the ithing is crap it will still sell astronomical numbers because it will have 1 new feature that the previous models don't, even if they call it an iPhone 4S and give it no new feature except a bigger screen, it will still sell loads, thats how Apple works, leave out a significant feature such a decent camera or bluetooth or something, then add it in a later model, because people have been waiting so long for it, they will buy it.

Look at this scenario, if Apple released the iPhone 4 way back in 2007, how would they follow it, there is only so much of a capacity and camera bump you can give it due to size. The only other thing they can modify is the OS.
 
I am familiar with the apple mantra and I'm often a sucker to it myself, I just expected people to see what was new or how it looked before buying cases that might not fit and the like.

Stop talking rubbish - if that was the case then the iPod Touch wouldnt exist as it steps on the iPhone...

Neither of the two devices acts as a phone so there isnt that much overlap to make memory sizes an issue. More likely to have 64Gb on the basis they now have a 64Gb iPod Touch...

EDIT: Damn read the rest of your post and thats even worse - if only MS had released Windows 7 instead of Windows 3.11 springs to mind :p. If only the computer was invented instead of the abacus we wouldnt be stuck in this mess too. What other technological advances can I replace randomly without any acknowledgement to how it could have been R&D or invented...

I dont know where the OP got the picture from, or if indeed he made it up, however it leads me to believe that there will only be a single phone released... not 2 (cheapo and iP5)

Thinks its a picture of the actual invite, people are speculating that the line 'lets talk iPhone' indicates that the new model will indeed have a big voice control feature :)

If it is indeed the invite then I will speculate that there will only be one model of iPhone this time around... Not the other speculation of 2 models

I don't mind eating my hat in the event that I am wrong

What they have atm is a big fail - really hate using the voice control when using handsfree and I normally end up at least mis-calling people I havent spoken to in ages or random numbers.

Just wish it saved a personal voice fingerprint of the name so it can cross match the request to help its speech recognition...

The tech wasn't available in 2007. Nobody else had a phone similar spec to the iPhone 4 in 2007.

Love your sarcasm but it makes you come across like a complete dick lol.

I get that technology does advance with time but come on, the first iPhone didn't even have copy and paste or fully functional bluetooth (a feature still missing 4 years later) basic features that other phones have had for years.

And yes, the reason there hasn't been a 64GB iPhone is because it would replace the iPod Touch, why would be buy an iPod touch when the Classic still exists (for now) if the 64GB iPhone and Touch were similar prices (I know some fanboys would buy both but thats just stupid, how many of you own an iPhone, iPod Touch and an iPad?)

Awesome :D - I was going for that too. In case you wanted to verify, yep you came across as someone who doesnt know what they are on about - kudos love!

LOL @ 64Gb iPhone would have to replace the 64Gb iPod Touch; or the inference that they would be similarly priced - theres just too many classic lines to quote in my sig today...
