This might weigh things back in favor of getting an iphone:
New Gov't Rules Allow Unapproved IPhone Apps |
I'm not sure what the big deal about the ruling is (not saying you're making a big deal but it seems to be getting an outsized level of press). The ruling says Apple can't sue you for doing something Apple has never sued anybody for doing. And Apple can still do what they've always done, not support jailbroken phones and do what they can to break unapproved stuff with software upgrades.
The ruling about read-aloud software is interesting. The publishers forced Amazon to make the text-to-speech feature on the Kindle configurable (and many publishers take advantage of that). |
A friend sent me this comment on a blog he was reading. I don't have the source, but it made me laugh:

I've had zero problems with my iPhone making phone calls.

I know. And the majority of iPhone 4 users have experienced zero issues. But if I am going to poke fun at the "opposition," I have to be fair and poke fun at "my side."
I love my iPhone 3GS and if I needed a new phone right now, I would not hesitate to get the iPhone 4 |
You will pry my 3GS out of my cold dead hands, until it itself is dead. I've never loved a phone this much. It should last at least till the iPhone 5 - and maybe I'll like that one better. To each their own, but I really hate the iPhone 4's look. I would be the one to have connectivity issues, because phones don't like you when you hate them.

The iPhone 3GS can't take a flight of stairs quite the way my dear UTC Blitz can. My zombie phone has LITERALLY snapped in half, and after carefully popping it back together, continues to serve beautifully.

Yeah, I'm stuck with it, I guess. But I've enjoyed my 3G for longer than practically anyone else. :D
Also on macrumors recently - Virgin Mobile is offering cheap iPhone plans - starting at $30/month, with unlimited texting plans at around $50/month. If those prices still hold when the iPhone 5 comes out, I'll be jumping ship faster than AT&T can brew T. |
