Why You Should NOT Upgrade to The 3G iPhone

When Steve Jobs mentioned that the 3G iPhone will be $200, have 3G capabilities, GPS, and many other cool features, I immediately began thinking about selling my iPhone so I can upgrade to the 3G version. I thought hard, and then I realized that I would have to sell it fast so I can get the most money back for it. After I kept thinking, I realized that the best decision for me would to not sell it.

I came up with a few reasons on why you should not upgrade to the 3G iPhone!

1. Unused Features - There are really only two new features that you get with buying the 3G iPhone: GPS and 3G networking. First you have to look and see if you even live in a 3G area. If you do not, then you will still be on your EDGE network. Then how often do you really think you are going to be using the GPS feature? All it is going to do is suck your battery life out.

2. 2.0 Firmware - You’re still going to get the same applications, the same software, and same everything on your current iPhone and the 3G iPhone. So why would you go through all of that trouble to sell your current iPhone, and wait in line and do all of that just to get a set of new features?

3. Contracts - That is right, maybe you were not aware of this, but the 3G iPhone will actually be $10 more a month. So instead of paying for your regular base price, you better be prepared to tack on an extra $10 each month. You need to think of it this way. They lowered the price, but you still have to pay about the same money in monthly fee’s.

These are my top 3 reasons on why you should not purchase the new iPhone. If you want more, Chris Pirillo has a great list that I would suggest on looking at.
