I have the latest gen iMac, and I love it. I have an iPod, and I love it. I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually get on iPad for a living room web browser/travel computer, and I'm sure I'll love it too. What I don't love, is the massive herds of people clamoring for every new device Apple releases. I mean seriously, Apple had to stop taking pre-orders because they couldn't keep up with demand? Christ people, it's a freaking phone. And I guarantee a major portion of people that will be lining up in droves at every AT&T and Apple store probably already have a perfectly good iPhone 3G/3GS. I guess I just take issue with the mentality of "I must have the latest and greatest device."
Sorry, don't mean to crap on your thread, and I don't doubt that the new iPhone is going to be a great device, I just get so tired of reading/seeing/hearing about the millions of people that line up everytime a new gadget from Apple comes out. More power to Steve Jobs though, he's making a killing off of people trying to keep up with the Joneses.
And I reiterate (before someone drops the word "hater"), I like Apple products. And who knows, maybe everyone's life in this thread really will become much better after discarding their ancient iPhone 3GS and moving on to the next brief chapter of their cell phone existence.

Whew, thanks. Been meaning to get that off my chest for a few days now. Enjoy your new phones!
