I got the first generation iPhone almost 2 years ago and plan to get the 3GS soon since this one seems to be flaking out a bit. I LOVE IT!! I just wish they included the forward-facing camera this time (tho no big deal; I don't really need to video chat on my phone often, but how COOL would that be??)

I never really complained, but longer battery life would be much welcomed! It's not that bad unless you use it often all day long, or access the Net on the cellular network for a while. It DOES recharge pretty quickly, though. Mine doesn't even have 3G, which is supposed to be a bit faster (so I welcome that), but WiFi is still the fasted. But yeah, the 3GS has a faster processor that should speed most everything up on the phone itself.
This update is nice if you're upgrading from the 1st Gen like I will be. It's not a "major" update from last year's 3G model (although the new OS 3.0 IS fairly major, and available for all models)...

Thanks for the assessment, Geoff. I think my wife & I will take the plunge with the new iPhone, provided that they credit us her Verizon cancellation charge. A buddy at work was able to do that, so I think they will for us as well. I plan on haggling for accessories, etc. I'm lucky, both of us have 15% discount eligiblity on our monthly bills based upon our jobs. I'm not sure if we can both use the discount or just one of us, but any savings is helpful.

Glad you're lovin' it, I12!
Goombah, how long was your wait?
I went to the AT&T store yesterday and they didn't have it in stock so I ordered it, and it should take about a week. What sucks about that is, although I ordered it through the AT&T store, and, altho I'm picking it up at the AT&T store, according to the receipt I'd have to exchange it directly to Apple if there's something wrong with it (and therefore not having a phone for a while -- unless I can use my old one temporarily)...

iPHONE OWNERS BEWARE!Gina alerted me to this: Major SMS iPhone hack to be set free tomorrow at Black HatIf you get a strange text message containing only square box any time after today, you might be the victim of an SMS hack that could leave your iPhone totally exposed to a would-be hacker. How do you avoid it? Short of a patch from Apple, your only recourse is to power down your iPhone as quickly as possible. Charlie Miller, a noted security researcher, discovered the hack a month ago and contacted Apple, but the company has yet to release a software update fixing the security hole. Miller and fellow researcher Collin Mulliner will make the exploit public at Thursday's Black Hat cybersecurity conference. The hack involves sending a series of SMS messages to hijack the iPhone. At that point, the hacker could control all functions of the iPhone, and could even use it to hijack more iPhones. This isn't the only news of security risks associated with the iPhone. Forensics expert Jonathan Zdziarski recently bypassed the iPhone 3GS's passcode PIN and backup encryption with relative ease.

Be careful updating your iPhones - I bricked my focking phone and have been trying for hours to restore it and have no idea WTF the problem is. According to the forums, I'm not alone!

When your phone breaks, it's about as useful as a brick to make calls. I got mine restored to factory settings at the Apple store here in Annapolis, but will have to wait until I get home tomorrow to get my contacts/apps/music/etc back onto it.

this is probably why i always wait to get something that is electronic since there is a big chance of bugs and just screwing up. How long do you wait? It's been out over 2 years! Have you gotten your first CD player yet, or are you waiting?

No, mine was wiped clean for the install of the latest update, then when the update failed, it was left wiped and it wouldn't restore to even factory settings (where it is now). I just got home and started reloading my data: wish me luck!
