To Wait or not To Wait? Pending iPhone Purchase!

I don't think this is going to be ready in time for January.
And if you really wait to wait until this comes out, I don't think you're every going to be comfortable getting an iPhone, because you'll be perpetually waiting for the next big leap.
I don't want a big eap, just the 32GB so I don't have to carry around two devices anymore.
I'm in the exact same boat as you. I have a 60GB iPod and would like to replace that with the iPhone. If I want to do that, 16GB isn't enough to store the music I want... plus applications... plus video... etc.
That is WHY I SAID SIMILAR-Not Exact...
Chill man-I was trying to share my experience, I do not need a protocol cop trafficking my posts.
Because when you get your iPhone you will realize as I did that the battery is not sufficient for the phone to be used as an iPod (in the traditional sense) and as a phone (in terms of utilizing smart phone functionality).
That makes sense... The good thing is I have an iPod hookup in my car already which is where I use it most as a music player. I don't really do any videos on it.
Same Boat
I'm in the same boat. My AT&T contract is the same contract I've been on for over five years.
That's right. Five years.
It's not even an AT&T account, it's an AT&T Wireless account. YEAH.
My father has a phone through work. My mother, my brother and myself are on a 3-way family plan.
My brother and I both want to go iPhone, and keep the family plan sharing.
My mother doesn't want to go. She's a nut.
I've waited 5 years, (2 years for iPhone specifically), and I can wait a little longer. I will either get it...
a.) Black Friday
b.) Cyber Monday
c.) Day after Christmas
d.) Day after MacWorld
e.) some day in February when they update them, to screw us all over.

I don't know for sure. It sounds like you may be able to based on other posts here. I would call AT&T just to be sure. It would suck to loose your number needlessly.
Yeah, I'm not losing that number over a couple of weeks waiting time. In a dream world I can get the iPhone and test it until December 9 and if I really like it then change the number over.
I was completely nice my first post, completely neutral actually, but people like you and others seem to just post and speculate without doing any actual research. I don't know everything, but I take the time to research things out so that my answer is not based on my opinion but based on current information.
But some of you clearly have problems reading a long paragraph so lets make it sweet and short
There is no space on the iPhone logic board for another NAND chip
Unlike the iPod Touch the Iphone has extra internal components ( SIM card, speaker, gps chip, etc etc) . There just isn't enough room, its not a "zomg misterious iPod Touch technology", it's a logistical problem.
Is that easy enough to understand ?
Haha well said. I'm laughing because of the "zomg misterious iPod Touch" part, but yes, you're absolutely right - about the iPhone, and about people not reading things.
I think it's YOU that don't understand and can't read short paragraphs.
I DO know that the iPhone can't hold 2 NAND chips because of the logic board. I DO know that there are currently no 32GB chips out right now.
And by the way, I do research my answers.
