I want to. But I can't rationalize pissing away my hard-earned money like that :/ (especially on something that's not fully unlocked at factory level)

you might as well wait it out for 2010 model when it looks a little different and actually is an upgrade over the 3G model in every way. even though it has a better processor and everything, 1MP better and video recording is not going to win me over. 2010 model should have at least anywhere 5-10 MP camera, flash, and an even better processor and a NEW DESIGN!

How about a front facing camera too for iChat Mobile app. WTF Apple... I want to see some real innovation, not just a lousy processor and memory upgrade.

Have you used the 3G and the 3GS?

And yes, an extra camera for iChat + would be preferred.

But like Roseanne Rosanada's father used to say, "There's always something..."

Wouldn't "iChatting" with video suck enormous bandwidth?

I had the feeling of an imminent response and quote from HowEver, and here it came! Wow.

Yes, I have used and tried both models... at an Apple Store in US. The 3GS is faster for sure, camera better, and compass a cool feature.

But more hardware improvements, such as a front-facing camera and iChat, would have been really impressive to see.

Tell that to the million plus happy 3GS owners.
