Well the iPhone 4 came out and I still have another year (until November 2011) before I can upgrade my iPhone 3GS. 

BUT, they are releasing the IOS4 to the 3G and 3GS models at the same time.  So if I perform the upgrade, I get the majority of the features of the iPhone 4 but on the 3GS. 

Okay, I don't get the new HD screen, or HD video, or 5MB camera, or longer battery life, or front-loaded camera...or the other hardware bits and bobs - but I get the highlights of the software on my iPhone!  Oh did I say IOS4 is great! :)

Anyway, I'm very content with the software upgrade now...just breathed new life into my iPhone 3GS :) 

I'm actually very content (again).  I know it's not the BEST phone on the market any longer, with the competitors taking strides into Apple's lead - notably the various Android hybrids, but I'm happy with it.  The funny thing is that looking back over the last decade or so, I used to have an HP iPAQ PDA, a Mobile Phone and a iPod Classic.  Overtime, I've managed to combine the PDA and Mobile Phone into the HTC phone, which was rebranded to the T-Mobile MDAs (Vario 1 and Vario 2's), and took the plunge in November 2009 to combine the MDA and the iPod together.  That's the real achievement, one device that serves as a PDA, Mobile Phone and IPod!  Brilliant :)

Anyway, that'll do for the next year at least...we'll see what gets released next year by Apple - lol!
