On the iPhone 3G sidelines this Friday. Maybe.
Monday, July 7, 2008 
This weekend the fanboy collective and those desiring more in their smart phone will be visiting an AT&T or Apple Store. I don't think I'll be one of them. Not because I don't really want to be there (and I already have the 16GB cash and a year's plan cash ready already just for this) but I think I may need to take a few things into consideration first.
- I don't think Framingham, MA even has 3G service available. In fact from what I can tell, Boston itself is covered, but many outlying areas are not. So what would be the point right now.
- Those stores are going to be madhouses... and if it really is in-store activation only, that's going to be 10-20 minutes of nervous energy waiting to be able to get that sweet hardware out of the store. Too much stress for me. Let the initial tidal wave subside first.
- I am currently a Verizon customer and I love their service. My wife has them too, and it makes it really easy having one bill, etc. I wish Verizon networks could support the iPhone but it's not even close to being able to play nice with the iPhone yet.
- The original iPhone is still attractive since it will get the App Store. I don't really need GPS (it would be a nice gimmick), and not sure I need to buy music while on the go. We'll get Exchange support, Mobile Me, etc. So I wonder if I even need the extras the 3G iPhone has to offer.
- I could always change my mind at the last minute and pull the trigger ;)
