So tempted I was to rush out and get the new iPhone 3G. Faster speed, GPS, and…and…well, that’s about it. Than I started hearing the poor battery life reports and I started to think. My original iPhone is great and I love it. With the new 2.0 software I get most of the benefits of the new phone as well. Having GPS would be fun, but the older triangulation technology has actually been improved and works pretty well. Plus, with no real turn by turn directions, the GPS is not really living up to it’s full potential. Disappointing. 3G speed would be cool for sure, but at what cost? 3G sucks battery. It’s really no different for any other 3G phone so the iPhone 3G isn’t really far off, but fast speed does you no good if you’re out of battery. Plus the AT&T plans went up in price monthly.

I’m waiting. For a better battery and 32Gig. You know 32Gig is not far off with the way solid state memory is going these days and certainly there will be a better, more power effecient 3G chipset comming at some point. With a full 32Gig, I could fit my entire iTunes library on the iPhone. Truly at this point it will have taken the full place of my iPod. 16 Gig is better, but still not really there yet. Delayed gratification is supposed to be good for you and for the frist time in awhile I will practice it. I have other priorities right now anyway other than upgrading my phone. I do want an Apple TV though…
