iPhone and a case of the "I wants."

As part of my daily life, I'm the guy that always gets the table leg, ends up sitting facing the back wall when a hottie walks in and buys a new car, electronic device, etc, as it's being phased out or something new is being introduced unbeknownst to me.

So...I think I want a 3Gs iPhone, but just as sure as anything, you guys already know the newer upcoming model will be smaller (yay!) and I'll be pissed.

So..unfounded fear, or will it be replaced in the next 6 months? Also anything any of you don't like about it?

the next model will be out during the summer in june or july just like the last three models before it. The mobile phone market is too hot for them to slow down development.

Phones are constantly changing. Research and try to find what will suit you for a reasonable period, maeby 6-18 months. Right now either iPhone or an android would be tops. Iphone is easiest to use imho and still seems to be the one to beat. There is the 30 day return period to consider as well.

I'm totally happy with mine except for battery life. I can see keeping it for perhaps 24 more months. This is the best return on money I've spent on a phone.
