iPhone: yay or nay?

Two questions:

1. If you are currently an iPhone owner, are you happy?
2. Will you get the new iPhone thats coming out in a few weeks?

Ehh...having voice and data at the same time is pretty awesome. I guess it depends on where you live. Where I'm at, AT&T and all the other major carriers basically have the same signal strength.

Their customer service, on the other hand...

1. If you are currently an iPhone owner, are you happy?
A: Yes, except for the weak battery life and the lack of Flash.

2. Will you get the new iPhone thats coming out in a few weeks?
A: I really WANT to, but my 3GS is just about 1 year old. Maybe if I could sell it....

Shouldn't be too hard to sell on eBay.

you can fetch a good $400 at least (probably)

i wasn't going to get this 4th model until i realized my 2 year old 16 GB 3G will sell for $350, so thats a new 32GB with $50 profit :P

iPhones certainly do hold their value and it's almost a guaranteed sale...hell, they appreciate in value Screw the stock market, just invest in unlocked iPhones.

What? Are you talking sales tax? On a $300 phone that'd be $18 here. Do you mean taxes on the monthly bill?

I was really hoping and believing the hype that the iPhone 4 would be coming out on Verizon.

Looks like I am switching to AT&T

iPhone 4




I just can't see Apple giving their phone to a network which can't do data and voice at the same time. It's a feature they (Apple) have bragged about in the past, it'd be kind of dumb to go back on their hype.
