i did it with my old moto too - now i have a 680 and you need a program to even have mp3 ring tones (doesn't bother me with this phone b/c i don't use the headphones ever)
i'm going to be really upset if you cant use your iTunes music as ringtones because without ring tone id you wont be able to tell who is calling when you get a call while using the headphoens the iPhone comes with
hope you can still edit your own!
There will still be a host or different ringtones, both musical and mechanical, to differentiate incoming calls. Don't worry about that (see previous posts). The question is whether or not we'll be able to use our iTunes collection as well.

As wjp09 said, 4G/8G (actually 4GB/8GB, i.e. 4 gigabytes/8 gigabytes) are the storage capacities of the iPhone models. 3G (i.e. third generation) is a mobile phone data transmission standard.
It's admittedly confusing. To make matters worse, when the iPhone is eventually updated, the new model will likely be called the 2G (second generation) iPhone, just as the current iPod is 5G (fifth generation). In fact, you could argue that the iPhone will be the 6G iPod.
Therefore, in June you will have the opportunity to buy an 8G 1G/6G iPhone.
But not 3G.

And it wouldn't be a 6G iPhone, because it's not only an iPod, but a phone and an internet device. So I really don't think that you can argue it to be a 6G iPod.
yeah i guess that is my main concern - ive read some rumors that you will have to pay for separate ring tones through iTunes and normal mp3 songs wont work - i think that on the iTunes picture in the keynote there was a tab titled "ring tones" when the iPhone was plugged in...i hope they don't cost extra (even though i have a feeling they will be $.99 like other mp3s)
Just keeping with the OP's terminology. Plus, I used a literary device called consonance to add humor. I think my post makes it clear.
Regarding "6G iPod" I was kind of kidding around, eh? But the debate team could absolutely argue the iPhone is a 6G iPod, in a manner of speaking. I'm not calling it that. Apple's not calling it that. In fact, I'm sure Apple's already got an actual 6G iPod in the works. But there sure is a full-fledged iPod in that ol' iPhone isn't there? Perhaps it would have been less distasteful if I'd said, "you could argue that the iPhone will contain the 6G iPod."

Hey, that is a really interesting video! Thanks for sharing it with us. I am intrigued by the iTunes section with the "Ringtones" tab. I can't wait to see whether or not it's going to happen!
Yep, I actually saw this video a couple months ago. If you just go to Youtube and type in iPhone, some of the videos are worth watching. Especially if you can't wait!
Wow! Thanks for the heads up... This was pretty insightful and only helped but bolster my excitement ALL THE MORE!
Also, for tech nerds/stock people, when looking up Apple's stock prices (AAPL) on MSN, there's news about the company (and iPhone) listed pretty regularly.

Why MSN over Google Finance? Just curious. I've never really used MSN and found Google pretty nice with the news.
It was pretty funny looking at how quickly Apple's stock fell yesterday (and the volume, heard someone sold 5m shares) after news about the delay of the iPhone and Leopard. I couldn't believe rational investors actually acted upon that information.
