Is iPhone 2.0 Worth It?
Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed
I have an original 8GB iPhone, not the iPhone 3G. However, I’m running the new iPhone 2.0 operating system. After playing with it all day, I’m far more excited about the operating system upgrade than I am about the hardware one. Yes, I know the iPhone 3G is going to be great. It has a GPS and double the amount of space. But I’m not really ready to rush out and wait in line for it. If you are like me and still using the original iPhone… you might want to think about waiting. The iPhone 2.0 operating system is an amazing upgrade.
With the free iPhone 2.0 Software Update, your iPhone does even more. Extend its capabilities with innovative applications you download directly from the new App Store. Get push email, calendar, and contacts from your Microsoft Exchange server at work. And use great new features in Mail, Contacts, and other applications. To get the free update, just sync your iPhone with your Mac or PC.
There are so many awesome apps available for iPhone 2.0. I can’t even tell you how many of them I downloaded today. The apps are great because they take advantage of all the groundbreaking technologies in iPhone, such as the accelerometer, Multi-Touch, 3D positional sound, and GPS. There are fun apps, apps to help you GTD, and even apps that can just make your life a whole lot easier.
Is 2.0 worth it? You bet your Super Monkey Balls it is! Get it. I promise you will be happy with the decision.

I agree with you so much Chris, even though the new iPhone has so much hype over it so much right now. Even though the new GPS system and the slimmer sleek look to it. I dont think its really worth it. I totally agree with you by just keeping your old iPhone and upgrade to the 2.0 os. Now with amazing apps on your old phone you still can get what the 3G users are getting and yet you are saving a load of money. =)

I think it pretty cool. I actually have an iPod Touch 16GB and down load the upgrade software and it works great. You can pick up and iPhone (pre 3G) crack and used it on Rogers or Fido which use GSM networks here in Canada. After the arrival of the 3G iPhone on July 11th 2008. I was tempted to get one, but after the price and the download limit I said forget it. . Maybe later on once the price will come down and the limit be remove I might consider. Knowing myself they probably be at 6 G by the time I purchase one.
