Will you have to pay for push email? I hope not. I get that for free on my blackberry. Too bad it’s not working right now…

Seems like Sour Grapes to me...most of these comments are from existing iPhone users that are speculating on a phone's quality that isn't even released yet? How do you even know that the sound quality "will sound like a kazoo"? or that it's "made of cheap plastic". Other complaints are that it cost an extra $10 for 3g? Come on folks, that is the fastest network available, and yes, to pay for that infrastructure you gotta get the $$ from somewhere.

Don't want installed GPS? I think most people are lost when complaining about this as a paultry upgrade... the complete picture is the roadmap of other future 3rd party software that can use this beyond just the basic GPS function (geomapping, friendfinder, etc, is just the tip of the proverbial iceburg).

Apple has just released a fruitful upgrade, and the only thing I see on this page is Sour Grapes from a bunch of iPhone users that are mad that they payed such a high initial price....$199 is a steal for this passion fruit.

I live in LA and I walk!

Great article, I have been a bit weary to go for the 3G right away, this article rose some pretty important points for me. Great technology journalism!

I completely agree. I love my first gen iPhone and will NOT be upgrading to G3. Faster internet and GPS aren’t worth another $200 + $10/month. Instead, I’ll be spending that money on a MobileMe account and Push everything. – Thank God MobileMe will work with first Gen iPhone – otherwise I’d be upgrading

Since we can get the 2.0 software update I think I will be good.

Can't get 3g here so why pay for it?????

what about the speaker?? When I try to use speaker phone it makes the person I am talking too sound like a kazoo. Playing music is pointless unless you are in a totally silent area otherwise I need to put the phone speaker right to my ear and even then it is hard to hear with any background noise present. Rob

” Stamp my feet on the ground” you just make me released after reading your article. I paid $400 for my iphone just a year ago ( got a $100 rebate) now upgrading will be another $300. If I can sell my current one nobody will give more than $100.00 because now a brand new one with improvements supposed cost half price. Beside, I have to see an increasement of $10.00 in my bill every month so It will be another $120.00 more before I see the Iphone Nano with video camera in a year or so ….. No Gracias !
