Is anyone upgrading their iPhones or planning on getting the iPhone 4 anytime soon? I got one a week ago or so (my first iPhone) and I'm never going back to any other phone tbh. This one does everything.

Weird how there isn't a topic on this yet!

I'm not, since I just got my 3GS in January. Its battery is absolutely shit (often losing 10% just from sitting in my bag on the hour ride to work), and needless to say I'm a little bit disenchanted with iPhone at the moment.

I want to get one before I head back to class this fall, but I am still torn about whether it should be the 3GS or the 4.

They cost $419 for the 8GB, plus calling/data plans starting from $40 a month here. So, no.

All I really want from a phone is calling and txting capabilities so I could never justify spending that amount of money on a phone.

I considered it when my network offered it as an upgrade, despite hating the previous iPhones, but the cons outweight the pros. I have Android instead, and I prefer it.

I'm not planning to get the new iPhone. I'm satisfied with my generic phone that only costs $19 per month (handset was free) Tongue

I'm not getting an iPhone. My contract is up for renewal in September, and since I still have a phone that I'm very pleased with, I'm only renewing my contract, and not my phone. It'll probably be a lot cheaper.

The only way I'd ever get an iPhone is if it is ever offered on Verizon, which I know is highly unlikely. The problem is that I live in the middle of nowhere in a cornfield in Iowa and all we have for service here is US Cellular (which I have) and Verizon.

But yes, I want an iPhone 4. Sad

I have the iPhone 3G yet. As spendy as iPhones are, I use them until they do NOT work at all anymore before getting a new one.

I'm thinking about getting a Blackberry when my iPhone dies. I HATE typing on the iPhone screen, and I'm anti-Apple in general. I don't need all the stuff the iPhone does. I wish I didn't need a smartphone, but in the web field, checking email is a must.

I need a contract and I considered it for a minute, because my friend owns it, but then I reminded myself how I hate touch-screen keyboards Tongue . I have a Blackberry that needs fixing and choosing a new phone will depend on making it work.

My iPod's battery constantly runs out and that's also a con for me. Not to mention the screen will constantly get dirty (yes, I have a nice case and a screen protector).

 I've had my iPhone 3G for almost 2.5 years now and honestly, I will not be getting the iPhone 4. Yes the phone is great but you know what: it's not the best thing on the market anymore.

 There are other Android phones that put the iPhone 4 to shame. I'm looking at getting a Galaxy S (it has specific names on various networks) phone that's running Android and eventually 2.2 on it.

 SUPER AMOLED screen, 720p recording.. perfect. I can root it as well. Sure I've spent $80 on apps over the years but I don't want to be on that iPhone bandwagon any longer.

 Not only that but the whole issue with the hardware reception issue has been a huge turnoff.

There's just too many things wrong with it that Apple has claimed they didn't think of when making it. Plus, their newer models being released all time.

Android phones are looking awfully good right now. Smiley

I plan on canceling my contract with tmobile in late January and going to at&t (I get a discount through work, plus the signal is better!) but I haven't decided if I want the iphone 4 yet. I've seen a few up close (people at work and customers with them) and I like the look of them Cheesy Plus the data plans being even cheaper now make me really want it Tongue Hopefully by time I get all of the current kinks will be worked out Cheesy

I've been mostly satisfied with my iPhone 3G (although it really didn't like the iOS4 update Tongue) so I will eventually upgrade to the iPhone 4. My husband, however, is probably going the Android route.

I was holding out for the white iPhone 4... whatever happened to it?!

I was able to upgrade, and it was a significant difference from my 3G. I didn't bother upgrading to the 3GS when it came out, decided to wait another to year to see if they'd make it eve more different. Thank goodness I waited, because I absolutely love my iPhone. And I've never had any antenna or reception problems whatsoever (AT&T's pretty awesome in my area). The iPhone does everything that I need and then some, so I honestly can't see myself with another phone.  Wink

At first they said it'd be available late July, but now that late July is here, they've changed it to "sometime later this year".  Roll Eyes

I really wanted it too, but not gonna wait forever just cause it's white.  Sad

I've had an iPhone 3G for just over a year, and whilst its definitely been the best phone I have ever had, I cannot wait to upgrade to the iPhone 4.

For me, the only reasons to upgrade is its quicker, and I can finally have the decent camera I have been desperate for since my LG phone.

Alas.. I will have to wait until May next year to upgrade. Even then I might not be able to afford it, or they might bring out another one around then.

Yes, it's definitely much quicker than the 3G. The difference was pretty obvious when I loaded my apps. The quality of the camera is so much better, and there's the added bonus of the video that the 3G didn't have.

They come out with a new iPhone every summer, but after releasing a new model, the following year is just a few upgrades to the previous. So you might as well wait a few months more, as they'll probably release an iPhone 4 with a couple more features or upgrades.

Vodafone was giving it away at some point, no? Or was that with some UBER expensive plan. You can get 'em on pre-pay I think.. but even more expensive. over a grand I think?

I only use my cell phone for calls / texts / when I'm extreamly bored and don't have net, I play games. xD so I wouldn't buy one. Plus sometimes I take my phone to work.. an Iphone wouldn't be any good where I work. :L

I just got a Blackberry in March and I'm loving it, not to mention I can't upgrade for the cheap price, for 2 years. After that... I'll see. I'm intrigued by the iPhones, but I do love my Blackberry. *heart* I don't know if I can just betray our love like that... ^^

Yeah. You can get a free 8GB one if you're on the $200 a month plan.

I want an iPhone 4! Made a reservation for it, not to mention my current Samsung is dying soon. Sad It's about SGD480 with the contract renewal.
