I'm still rocking my original iPhone or since it has a metal back it should be called the iPhone Pro Classic
I'm being more and more tempted by Android phones at this moment in time. My girlfriend has had one for a little while and they are competent iPhone replacements.
I'll probably hold off until I am forced to upgrade either through breakage or get given one through work then it depends what they dish out.

You can always buy it at the retail cost. No one's stopping you or giving you a penalty. Sell the old phone to get a little back.

Lol, do you want to film a movie on it? But, yeah that would be cool.
can you not just get a payg? and see the rest of your contract out. sell your 3gs on ebay. It works out the same in the long run ..

Flash.................?
I believe apple are far too committed at the moment to review that decision in the near future.

Lots of memory...
You are going to need a pile of memory to support HD recording. Low Quality HD (5Mbps) takes about 2~3 GB per hour. High quality (24Mbps) takes about 11 GB per hour.
Also, without image stabilization, the resulting video is horrible (the defects are plainly visible in HD formats). The resolution of the camera at 5 megapixels is adequate for limited digital stabilization, or limited digital zooming, but not both.
That said, it might be adequate for a quick snippit.

i guess it is
this:
public String whatYouGet(Phone iphone){
int capacity_min = 32;
int capacity_max = 64;
if(capacity_min/3== 10)|| capacity_max/3== 21){
return "10-to-20_hrs_is_fine_for_a_phone"; // minus 1h <=> 2-3 GB for system
}
else return "what_did_you_expect";
}
It usually only takes about 12 months to be eligible for the upgrade. If you are you pay 199 or 299 dollars, extending your contract. If you don't want to wait you pay 399 or 499 dollars, while still extending your contract. If you don't want to extend your contract you pay 599 or 699 dollars.
All my home movies are 24p. It'd be nice to be able to take all the iPhone stuff I shot while on vacation and mix it in with my normal footage.
I mean, I'll do that anyway, but it'll be nice if it mixed easier is what I'm saying.
Please, please, PLEASE let me choose between 30p and 24p.

If I had to choose, and this is what people like about video on DSLR, I would choose shallow depth of field, which implies a wide aperture for the lens. Whether the video is 30p or 24p pales besides the quality of the lens and and the aperture.
The other issue is what codec it is using, which would have implications for post processing.
BTW Apple is probably not going to put in an HD Video recorder unless it looks great. The rumors that it that the next iPhone has a 5 Megapixel camera. That may sound kind of weak because other phones are coming out with 8 megapixel cameras. Chances are though, the iPhone will have a much better lens than the competitors. According to the rumors we've seen.
I'm thinking he means a camera flash...something with a 6 to 8 food reach in dim light would be a good start.
