iPhone 3.0 Update Now Available for Download
For those of you not Hugh, HERE is the rundown on whatโs new. Let the cut & pasting finally begin!
As for the iPhone 3Gs, whoโs upgrading? For Eros & Matthor, this should be a no-brainer. As for me, itโs a tough call. Iโd have to spend about $200 more to do it. And while the speed jump, increased battery life and video are gonna destroy me to have to wait a yearโฆI might just have to. Itโll kill me but I know in June 2010 Iโll be glad I did when that front facing lends allows iChat.
For those like me stuck with the 3G until they qualify for the 199/299 pricing, hereโs a few good ideas on getting your hands on a 3Gs this friday from WIRED.
More from AT&T about the topics of MMS and tethering after the jump!
I may just hold on the scratch for a bit, and then revisit the iPhone 3GS. I mean, next summer, wonโt there be an iPhone 3GX thatโs even better?
Yeah, but I canโt imagine you two even realize what having an iPhone is being reduced to the EDGE network for web browsing. Seriously, If I were you I would be on line at the The Grove right now. Your both eligible, and $199 is a bargain for what youโll be getting!!!!
Like Cybergoshy says, Iโve had the 3.0 software for a while now, and Iโve thought long and hard about my 3GS options. When it gets down to it, Iโm very satisfied with the speed of my 3G, and just about everything else either comes with 3.0 or is waiting on AT&T.
The only thing I really, really want in the 3GS is the video camera. Especially for the new kid. Had they allowed me to upgrade this year for $199, I think I wouldโve pulled the trigger, but since they wonโt, I really think Iโm okay to wait.
The second lens for the iChat and a physical keyboard are both things that Apple has to be working onโ the former is already deep into development, if you read Engadget, and the latter is just going to make sense if theyโre going to really try to destroy Blackberry.
Plusโ Iโm still waiting to see if Verizon really does strike a deal with Apple to get iPhones next year. If thatโs a case, itโs a no-brainer to switch over, since AT&T service in LA is atrocious.
All that said, Iโm going to wait with my 3G. But if you guys are still going on the original iPhone, I highly, highly recommend the upgrade. The price is great and even if these new features donโt grab you, youโll really enjoy all the fun stuff that clever apps do with the GPS.
Huzzah!
Its still no Palm Pre.
NO
