Well Friday is almost here, and even right now there are hundreds, if not thousands, of people lined up around the world to get their hands on the new iPhone 3G. Last year I didn't stand in line, but I did go on launch day and picked up an iPhone. I have been very happy with it and you can ready my two-part review here.
So am I upgrading my iPhone to the new 3G iPhone.....no. However, I will be in line early in the morning to buy my wife one for her birthday. I have a couple of reasons I'm not upgrading my current phone to the 3G.
With the 2.0 update which brings a host of new features, also comes the App Store on iTunes. The only big gripe I had with the current iPhone was the lack of native applications, games, etc. That’s all going to change now. The 2.0 update also solves some big issues like the ability to delete multiple e-mails, dedicated contact application, and a few other things. This will only be enhanced by the tons of applications that are being developed for the iPhone.
We will also have the ability to have real games on the iPhone. Two of the most highlighted games so far has been Spore and Super Monkey Ball, which makes use of the iPhone’s accelerometer for an almost Wii-like game play. We touched a bit on this recently in the SkinCast, and I think we will get some games and give them a review to see how they stack up.
So how about you? Are you planning on upgrading, or are you tempted to make a first time purchase of the iPhone this week?
My only problem with an iPhone is that there isn't much about it that I need, and it costs too much to be a "want" item.
I'd like a Linux-powered phone, not an Apple one. The Linux one would at least let me put on any software I wanted.
