FYI to everyone. i am kinda a phone guy and i have a little info for you. i read the newest blogs and post daily and keep up to date on my info...

the new, 3G iPhone will have actual GPS, none slippery black plastic case (kinda like the texture on the Moto Q ) and will have a 2mp camera. 16gb and 32gb size options with a $100 difference in price. if you switch to ATT and sign a new 2 year service agreement, you will get $100 off price of phone but you MUST sign a data plan to the iPhone. Yes, you can cancel it later but they do this so you see how "fun" the iPhone is with it.

in my eyes, when it will come with WiFi capabilities and there are so many "Hot Spots" around now, whats the use? i am at work all day on a PC and we have wireless here in the office. at home, i have wireless, most bars have wireless down here in my area. (South Florida) so whats the point in paying 30 bucks a month more for the data plan. just me, but who is going to be out with friends checking and sending emails back and forth. your not. your going to be drinking, driving, at the beach, whatever and you will not what to be rude and be on your phone constantly. or better yet, send the emails you want and when you get home, they are all sent. you get the point.

i may keep the data plan for a while and see how it is. but for the simple fact of having a 32gb iPod, iPhone, Internet at your fingertips, 2mp camera, Video, Movies, Music, unlimited games and most importantly a bad a$$ looking phone i am definatly sold.

got a quick story on topic.. kinda funny, kinda why i am on these forums...

4 months ago i was at a wedding in Idaho with my girl. 3am i am walking into a bar and trip over an iPhone near the front door. nobody was around so i picked it up. too drunk to see anything on the phone or how to use it, i decided to play with it in the morning and call the last few numbers and get it to its rightful owner. phone stayed on all night and when i woke up, phone was dead. i was leaving to fly back home that morning so i brought it home, took it to my buddy at ATT and told her to find out who it is by the serial number and get the phone to them. she looked up some info and foudn out they already (it had been 2 days now) paid 50 bucks for the insurance replacement. she said, why dont you just keep it as an iPod and be happy. since i am on Verizon, thats my only option i guess. i ended up, 3 weeks later, trading someone a 3906 eMaxx for the phone and never looked back. the phone had a scratch down the entire screen and was annoying me for movies and music videos. so no loss to me, only a gain on a nice RC.

i have spent around $500 on the eMaxx so far and dont have anything left to upgrade besides an extended chassis and minor parts. so i am totally happy....

sorry for the long story guys... i am bored here at work this morning. Cheers!
