Thinking about picking one up for a few weeks before the new one comes out to get some hands on time with one.
Is $300 for a 8gb or 350 for a 16gb in pretty newish shape a good deal? Likely be able to resell it in a few weeks for at least what I bought it for?
Im just sick of the half a** BIS RIM gives consumers. It doesnt integrate into my exchange to get folders or calendar/contact syncing when other platforms like the iphone and WM do out of the box. I guess its great for basic smartphone users who need texting and send/receive and corporate types, but doesnt play well with exchange at all. I thought Id be fine without these things but, besides wanting to try an iphone for all the apps and web browsing, but I cant deal with BIS anymore missing basic features for the insane cost.
look at craiglist they have prices there that vary.. i say for the 8gb300-350 is reasonable if used.. and for the 16gb if you can find one for 350 i say jump on it.
If you are looking to play with the app store, save some money and get an iPod Touch. The interface is the same, other than the phone related options.
It swung my decision to get an iPhone. Also, no contract to sign.
The iPod Touch cannot do many things the iPhone can, shaazam nope, gps nope, many many apps only work on the iPhone and if they do work on the touch have limited functionality.
