It was a bit clumsy at first, but even with large hands, I have no complaints about the iphone's keyboard. I find that leaving the clicks on can help if you don't know when you've hit a key.

At the same time, I also don't want to upgrade too early if there's something better coming down the pike. What's your advice, Giz commenters? Should I wait, or just get the 3GS, knowing that it will likely be just fine?

@Dayv: I'm very interested in the autofocus camera/video parts.

This is why apps that advertise beer & loose women do get approved, since the iPhone doesn't have those features built in yet.

iPhone apps are intended to boost sales of iPhones. To allow advertising on that platform which directs sales AWAY from iPhones is antithetical.
How is this a difficult concept?

No, I don't think cell companies should disallow VOIP on their networks. In fact, cell carriers will soon have to acknowledge that voice plans are dead as dead, and the only thing anyone needs is data.

What are you going to say? God Forbid they disallow apps that compete with them? Is that why they approved Rhapsody, Spotify, and the plethora of other apps that compete with them?

Don't like it? Use Android. Apple owns their app store, and reserves the right to refuse any app they see fit. A lot of their decisions to revoke apps I don't agree with because they are more based on AT&T's requirements, and not a valid flaw with the app (Google Voice, for one), but that argument in this scenario is completely nonsensical.

Although the billions of dollars in app sales, along with a hugely popular phone on arguably the worst cell network in the history of verbal communication might beg to differ.

Try comparing Twilight book sales to Shakespeare.
The Apple App Store was the first smartphone application store on the market and has sold thousands of times as many apps as all other app stores combined. [en.wikipedia.org]
I'm may be an Apple fanboy, but you've got to at least pose some reasonably rational comparisons.

When someone buys a piece of shit Nokia knock-off, do Mac people pop in and say "How very Microsoft?"
I am seriously tired of people implying that I am some tasteless hipster brat. Do I bother you little shits about living in your parent's basements? Do I ask you about your Captain Janeway porn?
Macs might cost more, but they aren't 10,000 times more expensive than a PC. They're usually less than 1.5x more. Do you argue that getting a $6 burger at a place like Chili's is a waste of money when you can get perfectly adequate one at McDonald's for a dollar?
Christ, it's like you WANT to argue over everything.

Then the people providing those services that company paid for will go out, spend money. etc. etc. etc.

The truth is, three or four people will collect on this. The designer, the person who sold it, and the people who sold them the materials.
Get real. If you think one cent from this transaction will go toward someone who makes less than a few hundred thousand a year, you're kidding yourself. Massive amounts of money float around these circles and it go nowhere.

I am the owner of the above iPhone. I'd be lying if I said I don't care what you think. I do care. In fact, I care that my iPhone had the desired effect - to wit, pissing you off.
I don't care if it looks good or if it's tacky or if it even works. It creates resentment and irritation across a wide swath of people.
Any further responses can be directed to the intern who my assistant's secretary told to write this on my behalf.
Enjoy your miserable existence in the Great Recession. I'll be riding it out in style. Now piss off!
Yours etc.

$3,164,000 is enough to end starvation in several African countries.

I'm as much for charity as the next person. I just find it massively hypocritical to be making a stand about it on a site that exists because of consumer excess.
$3 Million or $399. Either one could have been "better" spent elsewhere.
