This thing is a breakthrough device. Yes I really believe it.
It’s all based on small details that make this iPhone incredibly better than the previous generations.
First, a noise canceling microphone. This is really useful. It’s maybe not a game changer but interesting tough.
Another cool thing is FaceTime, ok it’s iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 for the moment. But Apple made it an open standard. This means that Android phones will probably introduce FaceTime in the next months. It’s far more advanced that the actual 3G calling.
Next point, Retina Display. This is the most accurate screen you’ll find on a smartphone. Far more interesting than having a AMOLED screen. This means the eye doesn’t perceive any more dpi. iPhone is now ready for iBooks. I’ld like to see a Retina Display on the iPad. But it will be quite hard to get a fast enough processor for such a resolution. And what could you use it on ? 1400p movies ? 
Finally, the design is really cool. I remember Apple patented this external antenna technology which made people feeling dissapointed about the design. I honestly like the design.
A flatter iPhone will be a good deal for my pants. And the new glass is much more resistant. No more broken glasses !
All this seems good news.
And we do know now what the news iPod will be like. Retina display, new glass, A4 processor.
Oh yes and One more thing. Do you like that iOS name ?
That name was owned by Cisco but they licensed it recently to Apple. Honestly I feel weird seeing iOS 4 GM in the Developer Center.
To conclude, I’ld like to introduce the biggest loser on this new iPhone.
Samsung
They always built the processors ARM-Based for the iPhone. No more Samsung processor in the iPhone is a game changer contract.
Enjoy iPhone 4 !
PS: For Belgians it’s a dissapointement to get it only in July. Is this linked because of the contract with Mobistar ?
