Nope, not going to happen. As long as people are still locked in their contract with their 3g, they won't admit its a significant upgrade.
This makes me want my 3Gs so much moreeee. Friday cant come soon enough!

I'm "locked in", not too resentfully, but I'm happy to admit it's a reasonable update.
It just feels small compared to iPhone -> iPhone 3G transition which brought 3G, GPS, and a new design.
4.0, as it's being called, I feel will be a more substantial jump.
Fantastic
I wish I never saw that now I want mine ten times worse. anybody want to go to Kentucky UPS holding location and raid it. Come on who is with me!

Yeah, it's fast, and yes it is an upgrade worth getting, but I just cannot afford this. I'd have to sell my 3G and save up for over a month or so to get it, and it'll be a while before it can be Jailbroken.
I'd love to have one, but I only got my 3G for Christman, which isn't very long ago, so it's just not going to happen. If it was an AMAZING upgrade I'd think about selling my 3G and saving for one.

If say we did do a raid on a UPS plant in order to make it out of there alive with an iphone. Do you think they will be able to track who we are by us using the phone or would there be no way to tell that it was us who just raided a ups plant and stole iphones?
And people said the same thing before 3.0 was released, when 4.0 is released, they'll be looking forward to 5.0].
As I've said all along it's a big upgrade. This shows that it's significant even for typical usage, let alone optimized apps.
I don't know but you'd figure Gizmodo would be able to post this stuff in full 1080i. Atleast my home grown review Friday will be in HD lol.
Apple made the screen even warmer. Which sucks, because I don't like the brown look warm screens have. That's the first thing I adjust when getting a new Mac.
Engadget's review is a lot more negative. Gizmodo's review is way more enthusiastic about it. What I don't understand is how they said it is now a nearly perfect phone, but they are in ways let down???
Making the image warmer and colors appearing washed out (less saturated) are two separate things. It also appears that the image on the new 3gs is less sharp.
I'm basing this on a compressed video so take it for what it's worth (or check it for yourself at the link bellow).

I didn't think that Engadget's review was negative. They did say that some things still weren't up to par with what they want, but they admit that they're really techy and not average users.
What is with people quoting me and saying I said things that I never did. Where did I say anything about looking washed out? I just said I don't like warm screens...
Then you might take a look at this:

Even the Gizmodo article stated at the end that its an "evolutionary" upgrade and not necessarily worth getting if you already have a 3G under contract.
That being said, I've heard nothing about one of the most important features of any phone--call quality and connectivity. The 3GS might be a much better portable computing device but if it dropped fewer calls than my 3G I'd run out and get one.
