It's $199, but the service plan is $240 more over the 2-year contract ($10/month more). Thus the iPhone 3G's true cost is more like $439 (8 GB model).

I had the iPhone v1.0 phone and loved it. I sold it because at the time in my life, cash was golden, and I got my blackberry for $40.

Now…to convince your significant other…the rule of thumb is generally to get her something in the ballpark of twice the cost of the item you'd like to get – so plan on purchasing 3 iPhones… LOL …then again…I'm divorced…so you probably shouldn't be taking advice from me anyway! LOL

All hail Apple…w00t!

The answer is no but then the other other question is do I want it? Yes. I still have roughly a month to decide whether I want to spend the money.

I think the 2.0 software upgrade will keep me satisfied as far as technology advances go. I don't really need the 3G as I am usually near wifi and would rather use that. The GPS doesn't attract me that much as I likely won't use it much. I am enticed by the better audio quality and the video capabilities but since the camera is still 2 megapixels and the peak GB is only 16 I think I'll wait until a 32 GB one comes out or perhaps the next version...my current iPhone has treated me well.

But if I were on AT&T I would try and sell my current iPhone before the new one came out.

I would really want v2 for the GPS, but the 3G is really no big deal to me. I hardly ever use Edge, and when I do I can stand waiting a few extra seconds for a page to load. I'm sticking with my v1.

The GPS that was demonstrated is completely useless IMO. Sure, some companies like Tom-Tom might make the GPS useable, but I don't want to have to pay around $100 for the software to do so, and have to re-buy the software whenever I buy a new phone. It would make a lot more sense for me to buy a separate GPS device, even though I hate the idea of carrying yet another gadget around.
