To upgrade or not to upgrade.....

Ever since July 11th (the day Apple launched the new Iphone 3G)I have been waffling about weather it is worth an upgrade or not. I got my iphone in September...paid $299 for a 4GB version .....of course the version they dont even make anymore. Luckily I actually didnt pay that much for my phone, I had a ton of giftcards that went towards my phone so I think $80 was the total i paid. The entire 4GB is just about used up.....all thanks to the Blues Clues episodes and the full version of Finding Nemo (along with a few songs, and tons of pictures) Luckily, with the new 2.0 update, I can take all my pics off of the phone and have access to my Picasa web albums at a touch of a button!!!!! Hubby has been wanting an iphone ever since I got mine....it is an awesome phone, so I cant blame him for wanting one too! His company provides his current sucky phone, the contract isnt up until December. I of course have done my research, read all the reports and even went to the At&t store to check out the new phones. They are pretty cool, love the 3G aspect, sometimes downloading a webpage is painfully slow on my iphone....but do I really NEED it? not really, but I really, really want one!!!! We did the numbers crunch....if hubby took over my iphone,it would be about $50 extra a month, plus taxes oh, yeah and the extra $200 for the new phone........ugh. Then there is the availability thing.... cant find them anywhere! Apple store gets them in, and out they go.....FAST!(not good when one is so indecisive). AT&T are doing direct phone orders....taking up to 21days to get your new phone..that is way too long!! I am an instant gratification girl..no way could I wait that long! Who are these people getting my iphone???? I have mine with me at all times and only have run into a few people who have an iphone...where are the millions that are buying up the new phones, they arent in the same places that I frequent. Are they just buying them to re-sell on ebay or something? hmmm.... well lucky for husband, Apple store does not have any to sell today.....
(I forgot to mention that hubby said that if I sold his xbox360, i could use some of the cash to buy my new phone....while he was canoeing over the weekend, ummm....I sold the xbox!)
