I will be upgrading this Friday. All the reviews came out for the 3GS this afternoon so you can check them out. Gizmodo review w/videos : http://gizmodo.com/5293388/iphone-3gs-review
PALM PRE IS LACKING BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING:
8 GB memory limit
No true apps - only webapps (so weak)
No voice and data at the same time (because of Sprint CDMA network)
No voice dialing (WTF)
No video recording (WTF?)
No voice memos (WTF)
No movie rentals (over the air or otherwise)
No visual Voicemail
No TV show rentals
No audiobook purchasing
No true app store (18 is a joke)
No console-quality games (like Resident Evil, Metal Gear, 1000's of others for iPhone)
No Peer to Peer games
No VoiceOver (the iPhone can read any screen to you, just like a Mac)
No native in-car integration (iPhone has this with dozens of cars)
No podcasts
Crippled copy/paste (for example - you can't cut or copy a webpage or any part of it)
No universal search (crippled - no e-mail search)
Tiny keyboard (iPhone landscape and portrait keyboards are bigger than Pre's real keyboard)
No auto wi-fi login (just jumps on any open network and remembers them all)
No 7.2 Mbps network speed
No Remote Wipe
No Find My Phone feature
Can't function as a Remote for the household stereo (Great for parties, especially with the iTunes DJ feature where people can request songs)
Weak battery life
More expensive than iPhone
Very scratchable screen
No oleophobic protective screen
No real music store (Apple can break the compatibility at any time and I don't want to take that chance)
No Voice Commands (control music playing by saying "Depeche Mode" for example)
No Compass
No multiple and customizable home screens like iPhone (Pre only has one screen)
No Parental Controls
No Video Editing
No onboard Ringtone Creation
No 5 person conference calls
No Webclips

This version 1.0 of the phone, there will be updates coming soon..I WAS a 3 G user and after playing with the Pre I will never go back. For what it lacks the mulitasking, OS, and browser, more than make up for what it is lacking...I had many doubts as well but after playing with one I was sold. Maybe you should check one out before you decide to upgrade.
a plain old Iphone wether it be 2g 3g or 3gS is just plain. You have no clue what the phone is capable of until you jailbreak it.
the going rate for a proffesional jailbreak is $20 and it takes about 30 minutes...then with Cydia, installer, hackulous.....you will be busy for quite some time and never even consider another phone again..
point is....if you have an Iphone....it must be jailbroken...just do it and you will be very happy!!!!

MLB at Bat App for the Iphone will start streaming full games over Wifi or 3G starting tomorrow. You have to have the 3.0 software which you can update now. That's pretty cool. I can't wait to try it out! This app is well worth the $10 now!

Caught a glimpse of Fish's new LG Touch phone last evening from Verizon and was really impressed.
Should help his poker game.
FANTASTIC phone!!!!
I would highly recommend the LG TOUCH from Verizon to everyone.
If you don't believe me, just check out the great reviews from hundreds of others by doing a search.
The V-cast is awesome(for $15, one gets unlimited v-cast and browser). I watch sports highlights by putting the phone on my dashboard.
The phone has an awesome camera and is terriffic for text messaging, for those in need of these two.
