Dude -

A. Why so hostile? So you don’t / can’t upgrade - whatever - no need to justify it by being so bitter. Sorry you don’t see a damned thing to loose sleep over - but chill.

B. I think that - right or wrong - the value of the GS over the G is going to be something we realize and appreciate in 3 months not now. AT&T obviously moves a little slower than Apple - but MMS is coming (and it’s free). GPS turn by turn is coming, push improvements are coming, and most important, applications that will leverage the new graphics capability and speed are coming. And when all that hits, you’ll be looking at a 3GS and checking the couch for spare change.

Now, you might say that you’ll wait until all that stuff that is coming actually hits before you spend the $$ for the GS. Fine - but just don’t be one of those that starts bitching when you are 6 months into your contract extension when the 4G comes out next year.

Course something lells me you won’t need much of an excuse to bitch about something…

I fully agree with you on this. The 3G S is cool but not worth the upgrade if you own a 3G and not eligible for an upgrade.

Haha, quit sour-graping and rationalizing just coz you can’t get one. It’s awesome, and worth the upgrade.

To be crystal clear - I am perfectly able to upgrade on another line on my Family plan. At no time did I give the indication that I am some how “bitter”. It’s not a priority for me ATM, end of story.

As for the issues being reported: poor battery life, limits on abilities put into place by AT&T, don’t know what to tell ya. It is what it is. If folks are fine with it, awesome. If not, feel free to “whine” along with me in my choice to not be an early adopter. ;)

3GS is much, much better with twice the RAM! (256MB vs 128MB). This update was desperately needed in my opinion since the old 3G barely had enough RAM to run more demanding programs and often needed to be rebooted due to applications which leak memory and applications which fail to return memory for use by other applications. The faster processor is a nice upgrade also and was probably needed to increase the amount of RAM.
I suspect that soon applications will come out that are so RAM demanding that thay will only run on 3GS without constantly crashing the iPhone. It’s probably just a matter of when Apple decides to allow it to happen. Once thay do, updates to current applications could also demand RAM beyoned the old 3G’s capabilities!

just wanna ask why apple don’t u put a sidewinder charger on the iphone?? bye bye
