Kinda wish I had waited, but then again I don't think these new features make it a must buy. Some new tweaks and 32 gb is nice though.

The coolest feature is bluetooth tethering which apparently is never going to see the light of day here because AT&T already has an aircard plan.

Picked up the 3G S on Friday. My contract with Verizon just expired, so I made the switch. My first iPhone. My goodness it's badass.

Confession: I downloaded the Lightsaber app, and I was totally bouncing around my living room pretending to be a Jedi. Only for a few minutes, but still.

As an iPhone newbie, I'd love to hear about everyone's favorite apps.

How much did it cost you for the phone? I am thinking of doing the same with my Verizon.

Re: iPhone
 

My phone died on my vacation, and I had to replace it. Being on TMobile, I had hoped to wait out the contract period (8 more months) but once it died, I went ahead and got the G1 phone. While good, I am guessing that the iPhone would easily blow it away.

Right now the 3GS 16GB is $199, 32GB $299. With a 2 year agreement of course.

I got the 16GB, which is plenty of storage space for me.

You have all that stuff on your phone?

More actually, those are just the ones worth mentioning.

This makes no sense though, since anyone can tether (via usb) a blackberry and surf as much as they want.

By march the 3G S will probably be cheaper. The price is always jacked up when it's new

Re: iPhone
 

Thanks Matty. I'll definitely check out a few of those.

It has occurred to me that I might have the least knowledge of cell phones of anyone on this site.

light saber app is still my fav.

I'm loving the DC metro app. It'll tell me all the times and delays on the metro. It's priceless.
