Making the switch?
I bought my iPhone3Gs one year ago, signing into a new 2 yr contract after having the first gen iPhone for 2 yrs.
I just got off the phone with AT&T and this is what I learned about upgrading:
I can get the new iPhone4 for $199 or $299 as advertised! SWEET
They base this on the full year of unlimited data and probably my high usage (1400 min family plan, which I go over on a lot on account of this being my only phone).
BONUS: I can KEEP my unlimited data plan for $30 p/mo as I am “grandfathered” into that plane. BUT, if I downgrade to the 2GB plan at $25, or the 250MB (doh) plan at $15 p/mo I can not reclaim it. Let’s see, which should I do!?? DUH!
Selling: I went to Gazelle.com to sell my iphone 3Gs the week of the iphone4 announcement and they would give me $272! Sweet, only $28 bucks less than I paid last year. But, I went there today and they only offered $189! OUCH! So I have a iPhone 3Gs up for sale for a good price, anyone?
So, why upgrade? Well… let me count the reasons:
1: I have three kids and take all my pics and videos with the iPhone. The quality is iffy at best, unfortunately, but regardless, the best camera you own is the one you have on you… so my best camera is my iphone. The iPhone 4 significantly improves on this, flash and all!
2: I was actually considering something like an iFlip to improve that issue #1, but now I won’t have to spend that money and carry another device.
I was at the Michael Franti concert in Burlington (AWESOME concert!) and watched as many people video’d using iFlips and point & shoot cameras getting great quality, while I was stuck with pretty useless footage.
So, how about you? will you upgrade? If you don’t have an iPhone, this is THE one to have with pretty darn amazing specs.
So now that the 4G is out Mr. Jobs has to convince us that all previous versions of the iPhone bite.
The most valuable thing in iPhone is its inbuilt and expendable memory. We can do all thing we need.
HI THERE…
I am a student at St. Michael’s College and I am doing a research project on the iPhone and need a number of interviews from a variety of users. Mainly, I am looking for what the attraction is, the appeal, and have a number of questions about its uses. I was wondering if there is anyone in the Burlington area who would be willing to sit down for an interview with me for my project, within this next week? I am a journalism major and would be recording the interviews to publish with my project for one of my JO classes. Please, let me know, as soon as possible, if anyone is interested. I appreciate it in advance, thanks so much!
My e-mail is mcatanzarita@smcvt.edu if you are interested.
