I think it's the result of a lazy coder. They probably copy/pasted the code from another page with Extreme in the name. Say it was Airport Extreme. They did a search/replace of Airport to iPhone, and didn't catch that Extreme word.

Besides, when the iPhone gets 16GB and 3G, it'll just be a replacement for the existing model.

This did not come from Germany. It came from the USA! Me to be exact.

Maybe they'll add 802.11n to the WiFi part. :D

Why would you assume February?

Yeah I am holding off for a second gen version of the product and am hoping for (from most important to least):

3G
Flash / Java / etc.
3rd Party (And Native Office Suite, iWork2G0)
Real Keyboard (not sure how to add one though)
More memory (even if it means a Hard Drive Disc)
Removable Battery
GPS

And all of the rest of the usual stuff...

Question Time: Why do you say Febuary?
I would say Macworld 2009 with a release in late June 2009. That way everyone with an iPhone will upgrade once the contract is up. In the meanwhile they will sell version 1.0 worldwide.

Of course I am praying I am wrong... If I am though and it is coming early 2008 why Febuary. Why not hit Macworld San Fransisco (MWSF) with a big bang. We all know there will be new Macbooks and Macbook Pros at MWSF. And if they want to save it I would wait until World Wide Developer Confrence to release it.

Here's hopibng for Febuary :-)

Steve said something would happen next year.

Look at this:

Code in Airport Extreme's feedback form:

Code in iPhone's feedback form:

...so they just copied and pasted the whole code, and searched and replaced "airport" with "iphone", and forgot about the "extreme" word.

Wonder if they will offer a trade in allowance for my 8 gig...

It could be fun to be the coder of a site like that. You could plant all sorts of pyrite nuggets for rumor sites to mine and latch onto.

Well, It's gone now

its gone

UH OH looks like we have a winner. still - hate the name

Maybe it's for Ringtones! Probalby not. I am sick of the lack of flexibility in the iPhone...it has got to be the least customizable cellphone on the market (albeit the coolest...I do want to have my cake and eat it too). Sign this petition if you'd like to express your views on not being able to, at least, use your own Ringtones:

An AT & T store rep told me that they are coming out with a 16gb iPhone for Christmas, which will sell for $599, which explains dropping the 4gb altogether and dropping the price of the 8gb. Maybe it will have other features too, justifying "extreme." I guess if you look at the old "good, better, best" model Apple used to use at the Apple store, the iPod touch-good, 8gb iPhone-better, 16gb-best or maybe it will do games like the iPod...or maybe it will just have a more powerful battery. It already has TV Out, even though I don't think that feature was mentioned in the 1.1.1 software update.

IT IS DOWN!!!!!

DING DING DING - WE HAVE A WINNER!

IPHONE EXTREME BABY

the iPhone extreme, if real, could be thicker and have a regular hdd, with maybe an nvidia gpu like the xda flame.
.. (i speculate hdd in order to offset the other component costs...

I've been told by credible sources that there will be an anouncement this month (for 4th Quarter), that just in time for the holiday, a considerable upgrade is going to be made to the iPod Touch as well as the iPhone. There's a reason that there is plenty of room left on the home screen of the iTouch, and some room left on the iPhone. Firmware updates will bring new apps that we've all been waiting for, with the exception of GPS and 3G.

i'd say they use a content management system for apple.com and don't cut-and-paste!

Just give me the iPhone or iPod Touch here in Denmark! I'm tired of not being able to try the OS/multi-touch out!!! Ahrg!

Oh well, maybe the've got it tomorrow, we'll see. Good night from Denmark everybody!

And it would also be awsome if Apple just sold the iPhone like the iPod Touch. I have a hard time getting why Apple had to "find" a carrier for their phone...anyone open for suggestions other than revenue earnings at Apple's side?

Thank you,
the Faroese guy in Denmark (the earlier comment above is also from me)

As much as it hurts me to say so after coughing up so much money for the 8gb IP, there is a lot of information popping here and there that seems to point to an Iphone v 2 or the “Iphone Extreme”. My most recent finding has me believing that IPV2 will defiantly have a built in gps. There’s a few letters and memos floating around the net that talk about a company by the name of “sirf” which is mostly a chip dev company and a Korean company. But on the up side there is new software that will pinpoint my location based on the signal strength and distance from the towers like goggle is planning on doing? We will just have to wait and see. but i hope they will aleast offer a trade in

I'm violating my non-disclosure agreement because this thread is giving me a major headache:  iPhone X (that will be the released name) has a stripped down version of Wine so that we can offer Windows CE (SmartPhone) compatibility via an emulator.  Users will be able to "slide" between interfaces.  And yes, ActiveSync works.  For what it's worth, the hardware guys threw in a "batwing" keyboard too.  This thing doesn't slide down, like a drawer, or flip out.  What happens is that the keyboard is split in two parts and each half sort of flies out - one part goes left, the other goes right.  That way people can hold the device and type with their phones, while still having the whole screen to look at. 

Now will you please shut up about this and get on with your miserable, little lives?

LT

then when will it be relesed???is there any possibility by april this year??
