From what I've gleaned, what you miss out on by not getting the new iPhone is the faster processor and longer battery life. It seems that all the other features – e.g. cut and paste – will be available with the 3.0 upgrade.

I recently got an IPhone, and although this type of announcement pisses me off to a certain extent, I do love the idea of upping my data plan for a small fee from 500mb per month to 6gb. Only issue will be dealing with the "friendly" Rogers people to make this happen... Hope you and the family are well! Nice!

It is worth noting that the total cost of ownership for an iPhone (device plus data plan and lock in but NOT counting voice minutes) in the US has gone from US$920 to $820. Which is better, but I am unsure that it marks a tipping point. If you want the iPhone 8MB with no data plan it is still US$499. As you point out, it's the data plan that makes a big difference.

I was extremely disappointed at the microcell absorption by rogers, and that virgin is a reseller.. my last great white hope is pinned on globealive this fall, but who knows.. they'll probably just join the oligopoly club and keep the screws tight.. like seriously, 'the rogers revolution'... they're rolling out the year old g1? gimme a break! and this is the forward looking company up here! makes me want to go pay for system access fees in another country I tell you.

I think smartphones are just feeding the beast, give me a regular phone anyday.

With the new ability to tether the iPhone to a computer, it will now be a lot easier to fly though those 6GB. I don't have an iPhone now, though may get one soon.
