With the iPhone 3G announced and set to be released on July 11th, we decided to start a new poll asking you what you think of it. Last year about this time there were many people saying they were going to wait until the 2nd generation came out in hopes of it having 3G and GPS. Well, the 2nd generation is here and it’s got what people were asking for, so is the iPhone 3G more enticing this time around and worth buying, especially now that the price has dropped?
New Poll: What do you think of the new iPhone 3G?
- I’ll be standing in line on July 11th
- Looks nice, but not for me
- Still overrated
- I don’t like the carrier (e.g., AT&T) so I won’t be getting one
- I’ll wait to buy until after it launches and the hype has settled-down
- Other

Previous Poll Wrap-up
In our last poll, we asked you if you took advantage of paperless services for things like bills and monthly bank statements. Here’s what we found:
I’ll buy it on July 11th!
I’m still not really sure what I want to do about the iPhone 3G. I have the first iPhone and love it, I don’t have 3G in my area so the only benefits I will really see from the iPhone 3G are GPS and a better battery. But, I’m not sure that is worth the extra $10 a month to AT&T. The battery does fine now, but I’m worried about playing games on the iPhone and if Apple allows iPhone owners to use Bluetooth GPS dongles GPS will be useless to me.
Sure, it dropped $200 bucks, but with the $10/month increase, you’ll be paying an additional $240 over the course of the contract term compared to the first iPhone plan.
I really hate AT&T, so I won’t be getting it. Otherwise, I would definitely be in line on July 11.
Not a macfag, won’t be buying one…ever.
Hmm.. I’m no (fillinbrandhere)fag, so I guess I shouldn’t buy any product
I’m waiting to see what kind of applications will be released, especially for the GPS feature. Then I’ll compare it with a Blackberry and make a choice. So I voted for “waiting until the hype is over”
I think the iphone is definitely overrated, especially compared to my Nokia N82. That being said, I still appreciate the iphone’s presence. It’s helping to bring many(if not most) American out of the prehistoric mind set imposed by the draconian carrier dominated system, that phones are just for calling. Now, if we could only do away with the 2 way changes(it’s sick).
Only in America, right. 
Typical Apple, release a crappy overpriced product, wait a few months for people to buy it then suddenly release a new version.
iPhone 3 by Xmas, I bet you.
If you compare it to a Blackberry or comparable phone then it’s still actually cheaper. Plus those calculations the people are making are based on the most recent iPhone price, instead of the “launch” price of the original iPhone. There’s no saying that in a few months for the holiday season that AT&T won’t be offering it for free if you get a contract.
Guess that makes me a “macfag” then.
It’s not really that different from other manufacturers. How many Razr’s have been released? Quite a few in the few years they’ve been out. This is also on par for their typical iPod release schedule. I think it’s the fact that they only manufacturer one phone, and so it seems like the update has come very soon.
