Michelle, I'm using the new OS (can't get the phone yet). The new apps are really great, when they work. The overall OS feels better, but seems to be less stable overall on the old phones. The new apps in my mind push me even more to want a 3G version. The waits on fully installed apps feel worse than waiting on web pages to load.
The apps are fun. I installed a bunch. My fave free apps are twitteriffic & facebook. My fave pay for app is Comic Touch. The location aware apps like Yelp, Loopt, Where and Whrrl are also fantastic, but these are "yet another social network that I have to get my friends to join". Loopt feels the most together so far, but Whrrl has integrations to Yelp which means it is useful now w/o the network build up time. While I like app facebook better than web facebook (on the iPhone) I find it really funny that the app has features that the web (iPhone) doesn't and visa versa. It seems that most apps that also have web versions are concentrating on two areas: camera integration and location awareness. Even Twitterific focuses on both of these areas. Yes, I'm trying to convince myself that the $400 to buy a new one is "worth it" .. I just can't justify it. hmm? hmm? I wonder if I could "sell" my old contract so I can start with a new one. (It's a $200 or 100% difference between upgrading and starting fresh. Only a telco cound figure out how to screw people who want to upgrade something.) -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
