Yes!
I just sold my 3G for $400 cold hard cash and that money is ready to go towards the new iPhone.

Are you going to pay 200-300$ for a marginal upgraded iphone?

If it's not eligible for subsidized price for current iPhone 3G owners there won't be as long of lines
That won't stop people. Remember that non subsidized prices were the same as the first generation phone. $599 didn't stop people, why would it now?
Economy, but will see. I'm not expecting no lines, but I am expecting shorter ones because of the iPhone 3G people who will still be under contract and less apt to pay $500 for a smaller upgrade.
Paying $600 for going from a pre-iPhone phone to an iPhone is a lot more palatable than paying $600 to go from an iPhone 3G to whatever they're introducing tomorrow.
I've got an 8GB EDGE phone. It's easily worth the $300 upgrade if it has 32GB, 3G, GPS, longer battery life, better camera, etc. We know the $300 model will have 3G and GPS. Rumors have it pretty certain that it'll be 32GB and the camera will be a bit better.
Honestly, I need the extra space most. I still miss the 30GB I had on my iPod. I still won't be able to fit all of my music on it (yeah, it's gotten that big), but I can at least fit way more plus not have to ditch apps, video and photos.

Ditto...on ALL points, even down to length of unemployed status; spooky! At the very least, I'll wait for a couple months to see what problems there are with the newest iteration. I have been shocked to see the numbers of people reporting problems w/ cracking plastic in the 3G, for example. Hell, I live in a smallish Midwestern town now (for the past 6 months), and only reason I still have AT@T service available is because it's close to an interstate, and there is zero 3G service to my knowledge....
Nuhuh. Why not? I'm not going to be spending a lot of time in the UK next year. I'll be spending 5 months in 2 countries so no contract for me. And hey, I could expend £350 to get one without contract (maybe, could be different price, might not be available payg) but then I can't even guarantee that I'll be able to unlock it and if I do manage then Apple could later relock it through software updates. Fabulous. This is the reason I bought a 2G over a 3G.
They work pretty damn well. The apps always pull things down in under 20s. Some shocking news for all the people who need 3G, I'm not even using EDGE. I moved off O2 and onto a network that only has GPRS and 3G. I reasoned that since the only places I got EDGE were my house (where I have a computer with wifi) and my work (where I'm not allowed to use my phone) I wouldn't even notice the lack of EDGE. My previous experience with O2 on a 3G phone was also enough to put me off.
My iPhone is still perfectly usable. It would be nice to have 3G, but it's nicer to have the freedom to unlock the phone that I bought.
Haha, excellent quote
