Comments on: iPhone 3GS? Not Enough to Justify the Cost (and AT&T Sucks) http://smarterware.org/2159/iphone-3gs-not-enough-to-justify-the-cost-and-att-sucks Use your head (and great software) Wed, 17 Mar 2010 06:47:16 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: kgelner.myopenid.com/ http://smarterware.org/2159/iphone-3gs-not-enough-to-justify-the-cost-and-att-sucks/comment-page-1#comment-663 kgelner.myopenid.com/ Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:08:35 +0000 http://smarterware.org/?p=2159#comment-663 For all the people not buying an iPhone because it's closed - jailbreak it and it's not. Also for those thinking about a 3G instead of a 3Gs now - Why??? It's only $100 more and the contract price is the same. The benefits you get from a 3Gs are worth more than that. I can certainly see where people would want to wait to upgrade until there was not an upgrade penalty, but when getting a new phone the phone cost itself is a small percentage of the contract cost.

For some dumb reason it didn't get included in my reply list, which is a problem with the tool I'm using to compile these. I'm going to add it right now, thanks for reminding me. :) @Ezster: I loved your response, so much I almost RT’ed it (but didn’t because I didn’t want to skew the responses even more!).

(Too many of my Twitter contacts are iPhone users and there's too much chatter about it in my feed for my taste.) I'm sorry my tweet didn't make the cut for interestingness.:-} I thought the way my friend <a href="http://twitter.com/eszter/status/2242093284" rel="nofollow">summed up</a> why I don't use the iPhone was interesting: "friend of mine said to me recently: figured you wouldn't have an iPhone, you're too independent for that (posting re Q by @ginatrapani )" It's in line with some of the comments above.

I enjoy my Android phone and have no interest in the iPhone/iTouch. Wow, I was reading about this apparent slowdown, as people aren’t hitting the malls/stores like in years past.

With Jobs being more active at the company, would we have seen an iPhone video instead of the 3GS?
