I'm currently carrying two items around with me, the phone and iPod touch. I would like to combine the two and go for the 16gb iPhone.
I've heard that there may be a refresh due, anyone got any ideas when that will be. I don't want an exact date (Q1, Q2 etc). Also what are the chances of a 32gb, I take it I would have to pay more than the current 16gb?

What are your thoughts, should I go for it now while the prices are fairly cheap?
 
I did the same thing almost a year ago, with the first gen touch and iPhone. I love the convergence of the iPhone.
I've lost count the amount of times I see people on the underground or bus, listening to an iPod touch or Nano, whilst holding another phone in hand too.
Now, I understand that people have their various reasons for doing that, but for me, having only one gadget to worry about/charge, is wonderful.
 
A new iPhone will probably be announced in June, and will launch in July. Just buy one now, do you really want to wait until July to get an iPhone? :D
 
Lots of rumours posted in this forum and on the main site. 32GB is a possibility, as is a processor upgrade and bump in screen resolution. Also, some people are hoping for a front side camera lens for video conferencing and a myriad other things. Don't think anyone expects to get copy 'n' paste though.

Bottom line, if your current Touch is good enough for you, a 16GB iPhone will be too. Get one now and enjoy it. Your contract should be nearly up by the time of the next upgrade after this one, in July '10.
 
I agree with the above. Just go ahead and get it now. 3G iPhones sell for at least 500 on ebay(still!)
 
IMO you should get one now. If a new one comes out that you REALLY want, just jailbreak and unlock (to get more money) the iPhone, and sell on eBay. You'll get at least £50 extra just for doing a 10 minute process :p

Oh, and then buy the new one of course :D
 
Thanks for the advice everyone.
Just ordered the 16GB, should be here Monday :D
 
I had the Sprint Touch and then the Diamond. Last week I purchased the iphone. The screen is awesome and very easy to use. Why did I wait so long to get the iphone. This phone just works right out of the box.
