Questions about the new iPhone. please answer?

Question

hi, im considering getting the new iPhone (i dont have the older one) and i have a few questions about it.

1.) is it worth buying?

2.) do you think it will ever get a MMS/flash player update? (not necessarily both)

3.) will apple just come out with another one next year? because im pretty materialistic and if they're just gonna come out with another one, i dont want to waste my money on both.

thanks,

Answer 1

1. at 199.99 @ 2yr contract pricing, it is a very good deal.

2. Yes, eventually. although i would be worried that all current 3g iphones are so buggy, that apple is scrambling to put out patches and updates to fix all the bugs, and avoid a mass recall. I would wait about 2-3 more months and see what happens with that.

3. Yes, they are going to make a new one, its usually around 8-16 months depending on the success, value, and reliability.

Answer 2

The iPhone is definitely worth buying if your going to keep the phone for a while. The upgrade to 3G is faster if your in a metropolitan area. Also, Apple and Flash Developer have agreed - actually for a while now - to have a flash player built for the iPhone. The iPhone also has the ability of MMS - I'm not sure if this was always the case but version 2 does.

I would probably get some accessories for your iPhone, such as bluetooth charger, ringtones, cool case, and some other stuff if you want to really wow your friends since a couple of million people have the iPhone now!

Hope this helps!
