Firstly, I am an Apple iPhone tech support agent. That being said, I have an 8G silverback. I had a fun New Years including denting the steel around my Sleep/Wake button. No longer able to try a forced reset, screen saver is off, have to jack into iTunes if battery is exhausted, etc.
I love my phone and see only the video function as being any reason to upgrade just now. I already have 3.0 and it's crisp.
Must include that I did not know the fix (iTunes jack to bring back my functions, thought my phone was toast) and signed up for a new 2 year contract getting a new Samsung doorstop in return that didn't work well with my sim....'nuf said.
I'm in contract and cannot justify buying a 32G 3Gs for 7 bills. Even with the discount I receive as an employee.
My advice? Keep the silverback, they look good scratched and are in demand...trust me. I got a lot of the upgrades through 3.0. I have a better smart phone/iPod/computer than the majority of my peers. Would I upgrade if I could? Yup. But the world is all about situations and I don't want to waste money right now. It works, I'm happy.
