Previously, I remarked:
This one is a little on the edge of “tried and true”, but I think it’ll prove itself out in time: Get an iPhone. I’ve had mine for a year and depend on it every day in a dozen different ways. They sell now for only $199. I’d buy it again in heartbeat.
This past week Apple had some opening-day glitches with their 20-country launch of the second-generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G. But despite the glitches, this is the way it should be. Not because of the glitches, but because beyond the 3G hardware, Apple released the 2.0 software as a free upgrade to all original iPhone users.
This means that for free (and only a year after I bought it in the first place), I now have a phone that has many more features. My favorite is probably the App Store (3rd party application support):
Applications designed for iPhone are nothing short of amazing. That’s because they leverage the groundbreaking technology in iPhone — like the Multi-Touch interface, the accelerometer, GPS, real-time 3D graphics, and 3D positional audio. Just tap into the App Store and choose from over 500 applications ready to download now.
So tell me – what new features did you get in your cell-phone, only a year after you first bought it?

Sure. Keep teasing me on not having one in my hands for at least another 8 days.
Would love to have the iPhone but timing is just not right as I already have a family plan with t-mobile…maybe I’ll have to wait until the the exclusive contract with at&t. For now I am quite happy with the Blackberry Curve.
