Apple announces the iPhone 3G S

iphone3gs_2up As expected, Apple’s Phil Schiller announced the new iPhone 3G S at the WWDC keynote.

Here’s a quick summary of the key new features of the iPhone 3G S:

2x faster than the previous iPhone.

Supports up to 7.2 Mbps HSDPA.

3 megapixel camera, up from 2 megapixels.

Video recording.

Hands free voice control.

32GB capacity, with 16GB and 8GB versions still available.

Improved battery life.

So, are you going to upgrade? Is the updated feature set enough to get you dialling your mobile network provider for an upgrade?

Why shouldn't AT& T charge you for a new device?

Why should I be charged for a handset that I just wanna replace? A handset that I'll be using for two years. It just seems ridiculous that all I'd be doing when if I did get the new iPhone is just using a different phone yet they charge you to do so. Do you think it's fair?

You bought a phone at a reduced cost and signed a contract for 2 years and now a new phone comes out and you expect to get rid of the phone you haven't finished paying for and get a new one?

You're half right on this one. Upfront last year I got a reduced price because at that time I was eligible for the upgrade when the iPhone 3G came out. However AT&T recovers the initial loss of money over the two years that's how they can subsidize the phone to the end consumer for so little. Take a hit in the beginning and recover and earn a profit in the end. So no I don't expect anything from AT&T and I don't think I deserve a free one just because the latest and greatest comes out but I do expect at least for the time I've been with AT&T that they could work with me and not charge for every god damn little thing.

Why should AT&T lose money cause you want the new phone at a reduced price. All this wining is BS I mean people sign phone contracts all the time and new phones come out every year and you don't see other people wining I can't get the new (insert phone hear). I love how everybody thinks they are entiled to everything they want. Hey I signed a two year contract but I want the new phone now cause its shiny.

I sorta covered this in my last statement. I'm not whining about the release of the iPhone. As I've stated I don't think I'm entitled to a new one for a reduced price nor do I want one. My major gripe with Apple is why release a device that it's US "exclusive" provider can't even offer all the functionality the new iPhoneOS can offer? THAT'S why I think AT&T should cut some slack for at least the iPhone user because those are the people that are being left out. Even the new users of the new iPhone should get a little something extra because even they can't use those features that are missing.
