Reza,

Let us know how it goes........I'm very curious as to whether we have to re-download and install all of our apps etc.

Thanks!!

Scott

Installation is now complete.
Phone is alive.
All apps are still there. Addition of one icon to home screen 1 (voice memo) means reorganizing your icons a bit.
The spotlight search function is done by flicking to the left of home screen 1.

Hubby has it done. He says everything seems faster, and he is now working wirelessly between his iPhone and laptop using Bluetooth.

I'd expect nothing less than a seamless upgrade from Apple!

I guess you haven't been paying attention then. One of their recent "upgrades" screwed up the phone.

And more than once an itunes upgrade has been less than useful.

As usual I will wait for a week and make sure that this is a "seamless" upgrade.

Well hubby was first in line for the new phone, what a geek lol. The upgrade was either 199/299 depending on memory

[rezadue]

Was he already in a another contract for the original 3g?

For what Roger's wants to up-grade to the 3G S I'll stick with my 3G for the time being.

Unless you spend, on average, over $100/month for your cell phone (including data) the BEST deal that they will give you on an up-grade to the 3G S is $250 off the the hardware only price

Ahem, I have been paying attention actually. While there are exceptions, when you compared upgrade issues to the other major platform out there, I'll stick with all things Apple.

Weird, I thought I had answered you on my iPhone Ahh! silly me, I didn't go into the site to post, just tried to reply like you do usually

Yes he does, but he had the phone over a year and uses Rogers for over 100 a month, so he got the 32 gig for 299. He is very happy

Strange, he got 500 off the hardware only price.

This is what he got


Customers who bought an iPhone 3G between July 11th and September 30th, 2008, and who spend a minimum of $100 per month will be rewarded $500 off the cost of the iPhone 3G S. Those customers who purchased the device between July 11th and December 31st, 2008, but do not spend more than $100 monthly will be eligible for $250 off the price of a new iPhone. These two offers expire July 31st, 2009 and must be purchased with an additional one-year term to the customer's existing service agreement.

Yup, that's what I said......UNLESS you spend over $100/month

I just throw the $30 data plan on top of my corporate phone plan - doesn't come close to $100/month - that's crazy money for a phone IMO

ok. Fair enough. He runs his home based business off his laptop and iphone so his plan is around 100 I think, not sure as my phone is also in his name and we also use rogers internet and cable, they like us

Yes he is. He had already updated his old one, so he spent his time sitting tethered in his car waiting for the store to open this morning.

Should we really be talking about how your hubby like to tether in the car to kill time???

I keep looking at if its worth to upgrade, i'm pretty sure i can get the 32gb for 299 and could probably sell my 8gb for close to 300 if not more on ebay, but wonder if its worth it and if this might screw me for the new version that will probably be released next year.

The 8GB 3G version can be had for $99 now - I'm missing your logic

[Gropper]

Its $99 if you are willing to sign a contract and there are alot of people who will not do that, check ebay still going for $300-$400.

Wow, colour me corrected. The eBay prices are all over the place from $150 to north of $400 for unlocked, jailbroken phones. I'm really not sure when someone would pay $400+ for a used phone based on old technology but to each their own I guess.

I still think that I'll hold off for a few months, or at least until I can figure out if we are going to see another version in 2010
