iPhone 3.0 Update Now Available for Download

Share

For those of you not Hugh, HERE is the rundown on whatโ€™s new. Let the cut & pasting finally begin!

As for the iPhone 3Gs, whoโ€™s upgrading? For Eros & Matthor, this should be a no-brainer. As for me, itโ€™s a tough call. Iโ€™d 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 yearโ€ฆI might just have to. Itโ€™ll kill me but I know in June 2010 Iโ€™ll 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, hereโ€™s 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, wonโ€™t there be an iPhone 3GX thatโ€™s even better?

    Yeah, but I canโ€™t 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 youโ€™ll be getting!!!!

    Like Cybergoshy says, Iโ€™ve had the 3.0 software for a while now, and Iโ€™ve thought long and hard about my 3GS options. When it gets down to it, Iโ€™m 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 wouldโ€™ve pulled the trigger, but since they wonโ€™t, I really think Iโ€™m 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 theyโ€™re going to really try to destroy Blackberry.

    Plusโ€“ Iโ€™m still waiting to see if Verizon really does strike a deal with Apple to get iPhones next year. If thatโ€™s a case, itโ€™s a no-brainer to switch over, since AT&T service in LA is atrocious.

    All that said, Iโ€™m 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 donโ€™t grab you, youโ€™ll really enjoy all the fun stuff that clever apps do with the GPS.

    Huzzah!
