Default iPhone 4 - Who's Buying?

(Surprisingly) I didn't see a thread for this already... so just curious what others are going to do.

I have a 3GS that I bought last June but will be preordering and upgrading to a 32 GB iPhone 4 ASAP (yay for early upgrading!). Anyone else jumping in? If you are, what is it that you like most about it?

If you are not getting one - is there any one thing you think that it is missing that is keeping you from buying (besides being on AT&T)? I'm taking about the phone itself...

I was about to make a thread

I'm not supposed to be eligible according to Steve Jobs, but AT&T says I am with an $18 upgrade fee and contract renewal. I'm getting it. I don't want to have to wait until next March to get a new phone, plus I can sell my jailbroken 3G for $200-$225.

I have a 3G, had it since it came out, and The only thing i'm waiting for is the price drop of it. I'll let it be out for a couple months, let them drop the price a little, and fix some bugs, then I'm in.

I have the same $18 upgrade fee for mine. Not a problem. Especially with the overtime I'm getting these couple weeks in CA.

Eh... the data plan thing sounds stupid, but if it helps me save a few $$, I'm OK with it. I've never gone over 600mb and my g/f has never gone over 800mb. I'll be getting on the 2 GB plan when I upgrade and will be switching her data plan over to that for her 3GS as well. If it saves us $10 combined, I'm all for it - though I can see how it would shaft heavy users. I'd like to see it at $20 for 2GB instead.

Go to ATTwireless.com, it's somewhere under data usage.

I stream XM radio about 40 hours a week lol.

December was actually only a few days, as I was in the Caribbean for a few days, the Marshall Islands for 18 days, Hawaii for 3 days, and Vermont for 2 days.

It's called change the channel. Every channel is basically 1 genre specific, Octane is hard rock, Alt Nation is alternative, Lithium is grunge, etc.

And Pandora ____ing sucks now, Last.fm is so much better.

Damn Jon, that's crazy. Ironically enough I'm sitting here streaming Pandora right now - but mostly b/c I'm too lazy to get my iPod out of the rental.
