I currently own a Samsung BlackJack 2. I hate it. Waste of money. Its a big brick with crappy internet (so I don't use it). Samsung makes a good product, but the OS = crap.
 
General question:
Can you take video, download it, then erase it from your phone, leaving that storage space again?
 
SE C902 to a 16GB 3GS Black, will be my first non SE since my first which was the T68i, apart from the awful Samsung Tocco which lasted about a month before i got rid. I've got to wait till saturday and hope they've still got one left! :confused:
 
well currently i am upgrading from a RAZR (The original black ones). I did have a phone in between then, but unfortunatly it decided to stay in my pocket while i did laundry. So this 3GS is going to be quite the upgrade for me :D
 
thats sounds pretty remedial

Well just to add....I have both Tmobile and ATT service. One I carry for business and one for personal.

That's why I alternative GSM phones so much.

After the iPhone 3G S, I'm already looking forward to the Tmobile launch of the G2.

I just love using different cell phones.

The iPhone (original/3G/3G S) still has a lot of value to me (and most people) even without the SIM card in it. I have unlimited World Calling (for $12.95 a month) and still am able to make phone calls with my iPhone even without a SIM card.
 
I'm switching from a Nokia 6265i (US Cellular) that I've had for a little over 2 years. It was a decent phone, but had its fair share of flaws that become more noticable as time goes on and technology improves.
 
Upgrading to a 32GB 3GS from a 1st generation 8GB iPhone purchased June 29, 2007.
 
a white samsung sgh-d807..

it's been fubar for a while now.. the plastic around the screen is broken / hangs off the phone and will actually come off, the screen is cracked on the inside, there's a black / red blotch going across the right of the screen, the whole top half of the screen just shows white, as well as a white bar on the right side of the screen.. so i can't read messages, see my signal or battery or anything. lol

just been waiting for the new iphone to upgrade. woot
 
I'll be moving from an unlocked 2g 16gb to a locked 3GS 32gb. Really looking forward to it.

Samsung doesn't make the OS on the Blackjack II, Microsoft does (WM 6.0). I have the same phone and will probably get a 3GS sometime in the fall.
 
This will sound crazy to most but my current phone I've had since around 2004 or so. I've been eligible for an upgrade for several years. lol I don't even know what the phone is.. it's a Sanyo MM something or other through Sprint. I've been with Sprint for close to 10 years now.
 
I just thought it would be interesting to see what you 3GSers are upgrading from, and when you intend to upgrade again.

I'm upgrading from a First Generation 4GB iPhone that I bought on July 1st, 2007 for a ridiculous price of $499.99. With my $100 refund Apple later gave me, I got a nice set of speakers for my then-brand-new MacBook Pro.

I plan to upgrade again in two years (just like I did with my last iPhone), unless Apple adds some insane new features that I just won't be able to live without. I lived without 3G (no 3G in my area anyway), GPS, and a new case design for a year. So, I plan to hold out for the 2011 model, which should come out as I'm graduating from college.

What about you guys?

Might want to add a poll?

e.g.

Original iPhone
iPhone 3G
Blackberry
Other
 
I will be updating from the original EDGE 8GB iPhone to the iPhone 3GS in late Aug/Early September when my contract runs out.

This will allow my parents and I to get all new free phones across the board. We all take great care of phones which allows them to be used flawlessly for 2 years at a time. My friends still can't believe how fortunate I've been to have a phone that last that long.
 
I have a company issued BlackJackII. Company refuses to adopt iPhone as an option. I can't take it anymore, so I am getting my own personal line. 5pm - 8am, bye bye work phone, hello white 16g 3Gs
 
I'll ditch my beloved Palm Treo 650 for the new 32GB iPhone.

The Treo has served me very well over the years, but now it's time to move on.
 
im adding to my iphone collection! I swith off from the original 8gb iphone to the black 16gb iphone and soon the white 32gb iphone 3gs!!!!!
 
I'm upgrading from an old Motorola E815, so this is a HUGE upgrade for me. First smartphone for me. Although I have had an iPod Touch since February, so I've got some experience with the platform. haha
