Just for fun, but I was wondering what it would take for current iPhone owners to seriously consider buying a new one next year? Real GPS, a higher resolution camera with flash, video capabilities...sound off.
 
wireless syncing
proper finder
document edit
attachment saving
ability to share files/use as a flash disk in "disk mode"
GPS
 
3G and GPS in the same unit.

Everything else that everyone wants, I believe is software updatable so I would only buy a new iPhone if: 3G and GPS were included in the same unit. I would NOT buy a new one if ONLY 3G or GPS was in there.

+1, has to have both for me, although I may consider it if it was just GPS, but we know the next version is going to have 3G. Also, hopefully they release tethering as well when they implement 3G. A flash for the camera would be nice as well, but not necessary.
 
A hardware refresh will likely be slimmer, and probably 3G. Either one of those would get me aboard.

everything that would get me to buy another can be done via software update... Which I better not have to pay for
 
new one?

I would buy a new one with GPS, but I also need a louder maximum volume-- I never hear the thing ring in my bag. The international plans should less expensive too-- I also want to be able to use music I own as a ring tone.

you can already get music you own to play as your ringer through garageband.

id like to see 3g,slightly slimmer and better external speakers!
 
Basically any change of form and/or function would drive me to buy a new iPhone.
I'm sure my daughters would be happy to inherit my 1st Gen iPhones.
