You do realize that when you get your first 8gb iphone, you'll be signing up for a 2 year contract. So when you try and get the 32gb version, you will be paying full price for it since you'll be in your current contract and not eligible for a subsidized price on the 32gb phone.

How do we know that AT&T won't take care of Iphone 3G users then, like they are for 2G users now by giving them the subsidized price even if they are not currently eligible...granted, if an updated phone comes out in 6 months, they won't be very likely to do so, but it is a possibility.

As for 32gb... i was mad when they only announced the 8 and 16gb, but then i thought about how i am only using a 1gb nano and came back to reality.

The iPhone is now being handled like every other phone from every other manufacturer. Therefore, if you buy one now, you won't be allowed to upgrade again until AT&T's policies allow, probably no earlier than 18 months into the 2-year contract, just as if you'd bought the latest Nokia or Motorola.

I have an 8gig iPhone now, and I have to juggle music and movies on it all the time. I'm waiting for a 32GB model before upgrading - I just hope it won't be too long of a wait.
 
hey guys
i'm very excited to get the new 3g iphone, but the problem is that i have 19.50 gb of music in my itunes library :eek:
so i'm wondering when the iphone 3g 32 gb is going to be available??
and
if i bought the iphone 3g 8gb in the next few weeks, well there be a way up size the space of my iphone and make it 32gb??
even if i have to wait until the 32gb iphone is released??
tnx

I'm not sure about the truth in that the reason there is only a 16G model is that there there is only room in the phone for 1x16G chip.

For the record though Samgung has delevoped a 32G and a 64G multilevel cell (MLC) NAND flash memory chip for cellpones which they (Samsung) say that will be avaliable for cell-phone producers (don't know about apple) to use by MID 2009
