definitely will pick up a 3G iPhone. Maybe not immediately – depends on price – but within a year I will upgrade from my existing one. I have no beef with Apple about a new version of the product being released. That’s just the nature of progress. The advantage to anyone who may not be ready to fork out extra cash just yet us that in a year from now when you are ready, the product line could possibly include the 3G version with a bigger storage capacity than what you’ll see this year. Its all good.

I’m not sure how everyone feels about this but – I definitely got my $500′s worth out of the first-gen iPhone. Ewdison and I are ready to drop another $500 for the 3G-capable 2nd-gen iPhone. Who’s with me on this?

I’m not sure where the “OMG Why is Apple screwing me!?!” and the de rigueur, “Thats cuz Apple sucks” accompaniment comes from everytime the idea of a new iPhone comes up anywhere. Before you bought an iPhone what did you do with you cellphone when a new version of it came out six months later? The iPhone is going to have a shorter life cycle than an iPod or a computer – that’s the nature of the cellphone business. Blackberry, Motorola, Nokia, etc, don’t give out coupons to people who bought last years phone when it is replaced…and neither will apple.

Is it a mystery or surprise that an iPhone that taps 3G is coming?

Sheesh.

Get a life people with real concerns. It’s just another electronic gadget.

evergreen,
you sell or give your iphone to your family member or friend for half of what you paid for it and suck it up and buy a 3g. then, in 6 months when they release a cooler, different iphone, you do it all again. just like you do with all of your apple gear

evergreen,

does the term SOL mean anything to you? the change from EDGE to UMTS or HSPDA (3G) is a hardware change, not something in the firmware. being the “first” has it’s disadvantages.

personally, 3g with enterprise abilities is going to make the iphone sales explode!
