We can upgrade - we just may have to pay more. That's what I'm doing this year.

Still, there's some validity in saying that there doesn't seem to be a great enough "jump" in technology in each successive model to warrant upgrading each year. But TWO years in between... well then, that might make things much fresher. I'm on V1, and going from a V1 to a 32GB 3Gs will seem nice, I think.

I agree, 2 years in between is something you would have to decide upon yourself. Going from a V1 to a 3Gs is a pretty big "jump."

However, for me, I probably would hold out one more year, the phone itself doesn't have enough changes for me to want to upgrade now. But I have a 3G, so I'm in a little bit of a different position than you are...

I just expected AT LEAST a 5 mega pixel camera and more new features. It's got about 2 or 3 new features, one of which most will never use, a compass.... and it loads "faster." The main selling point of the phone is it's faster and that wasn't what I was looking for.

I wanted a much more improved camera (I don't feel like we got it) and Flash. The video, voice and more space are the only thing I like, but it's not worth paying $500 for.

Next year you'll be able to get all that and 64GB on my phone, not to mention the new features, one of which will hopefully be Flash. Then, for me, 16GB to 64GB is a nice leap...and who knows, hopefully Flash will be included and you'll have AT LEAST a 7 or 8 megapixel camera, however Apple is purposely moving slowly in upgrading the camera since they're only up to 3 mega pixels. It'll most likely be 5 mega pixels next year.

I'm not sure if you'll see the multicore processor that rumors are saying you'll see, I'm just saying I need more to pay to upgrade than what they have given us. It's too similar to the phone I have for me to go pay a jacked up price for.

I'm also planning on the 2011 4G 64GB iPhone lol. It might even be 128GB by then.

I'm sorry to hear. That really sucks. Nothing worse than lowlifes who steal from others. I would like to have that tracking from MobileMe but I can't justify paying the $100 per year for it.

i am waiting for next great development

I'm sure every phone will be subsidized from here on out as long as you are eligible for an upgrade and willing to take on a 2-year contract.

I'm not eligible, I'm not willing to pay a bloated price for the 3G S and I'm not willing to take on a 2-year commitment.

3.0 and it's subsequent 3.x updates will hold me over until iPhone 3G Sx and iPhone OS 4.0.

well im passing up on the 3G S for the next version anyway. Nothing about the S makes me wanna spend another $200 on a phone.

Could someone please tell me....what in effect does this multicore have on the functioning of the Iphone.
Thanks
