10 Reasons not to Upgrade to iPhone 3G

Posted on July 11, 2008

This list assumes you have a first generation iPhone. If you don’t own an iPhone, run, don’t walk, to your nearest Apple or AT&T Store.

With that said, here is the list:

  1. Free OS upgrade on old iPhone.
  2. OS upgrade 1 day earlier than iPhone 3G release.
  3. No standing in line today.
  4. Save $199 - You have the iPhone already
  5. The same Apps run on your old iPhone.
  6. GPS in iPhone 3G is weak. No turn-by-turn directions.
  7. Geo-aware Apps work on your old iPhone.
  8. New data plan is $10/month more, and…
  9. No text messaging  included in the new data plans for iPhone 3G.
  10. No worrying about “getting stuck with the white one” because you slept in this morning.

Anyone have any additional reasons why you should not upgrade to the new iPhone?

    11. You have a windows mobile phone that already does everything the iphone does, always had 3g and gps and push email… :P

    Despite the fact that it costs more, i actually prefer my 3g iphone to the first gen iphone.

    Although, like you, i did crack my iphone screen so ended up getting the 3g as it was cheaper than a repair lol
