Not upgrading as I got my iphone 5 months ago and I don't need more then 8gb storage.

The iPhone design is getting bit old and boring now. I was hoping for Unibody feel.
 
just been offered / seen an iphone 3g 16gb for £285.

Is that a good price ? Seems so as the 8gb one is £340 retail. And the 3gs 16gb one is £440.

I can't see them changing the design for a while, and anyway, the case is unibody in that it's 1 piece of glass and a plastic casing.

I assume you meant aluminium and glass? If so, I doubt that will happen anytime soon as the plastic was only chosen because it allows better GPS reception over metal (a la iPhone V1).
 
I wont be getting one because the way I see it is I am not paying extra to get out of my contract for the 3G, so I could wait but then I will be stuck with the same problem next year, I would personally rather wait another year with the software features of the 3G + 3.0 than get stuck with a 3GS which will be superseded next year by something most likely far far better.

I think Apple/O2 have shot them selves in the foot this time because the product release cycle of Apple products is 1 year and O2's contracts are 18 months, they have led people to believe that they will be able to upgrade each year, I don't plan on doing that so I will just wait, they loose out not me as I will get an extra special upgrade in a years time with the 3GS + iPhone 4G features.
 
Absolutely not. Whilst I would very much like faster App opening times it's not something i'm prepared to buy out of my contract for. And I got my 3G on release day, so I'l have the very least 3G contract you could possibly buy out of. TBH some of the figures people have been throwing around in here simply to have the latest Apple phone are madness! If it still looks the same glued to your ear (Or with the give away clicky headphones) you'll have to actually start telling people you have the new iPhone 3G.. Which will sound about as cool as a night sat in telling people on Facebook you're posting your status updates from your iMac :p
 
Probably not for me. I'd like to upgrade, I really need the extra storage of the 32gb model and the other extra features are certainly worth having.

However I've got another 12 months left on my current 3G contract and I can't afford to buy myself out of it early. And to be honest, even I had the money I don't think it's enough of an upgrade to justify the amount of cash O2 want for early upgrades.

I'll probably end up waiting until next year and the next iPhone, if there is one.
 
I have an iPhone 3g at the moment and I am sick of it. I am thinking of dumping it for a Touch Pro 2 when it comes out.

The iPhone's exchange implementation sucks balls.
 
I currently have the iPod touch and love it but my mobile phone is on the way out and I am fed up of carrying two devices so getting the new iPhone is a perfect fit for me. The price is still going to hurt.
 
i'm tempted but its a big chunk of cash in one hit to upgrade.

why oh why can't they just offer 12 month contracts, i'd happily pay £70 pm for a 12 month deal meaning i could upgrade or take out a new contract after a year.

If that's the case then you can easily afford to pay off the remaining 6 months of the contract after 12months has lapsed :)

I am also trying to resist the lure of the 3GS, it's hard though :(
 
My sensible and rational side is saying no but my geek side is saying yes - I'm not sure which is going to win. Have to wait until it's released..
 
To those moaning about the contracts & O2 not letting you just get out of them for a pittance - would you really be happy if O2 had 12 month contracts with the premium for the 6 months you're not in contract for split over those 12 months? (e.g. an extra £15+ a month)

Apples upgrade cycle seems to be yearly, contract phones have been 18+ months for as long as I care to remember.

Sorry? If you mean iPhone contracts at 18m for "as long as I care to remember" then you mean for the 2 generations of iPhone? If you mean for All phones then you have a VERY short memory! :confused:
