I never cared about the megapixels, that's what I have my digital camera for.
Never had any problems typing on my 3GS without Swype either.
Video-Calling, yeah, it's limited to Wi-Fi. Guess how much the phone companies would charge for a 10 minutes video call without it.
iPhone 4 won't come to my country till like august/september so the manufacturing problems should be fixed until then.
AT&T exclusiveness: that's only a problem in USA I guess. There are 5 companies selling the iPhone 4 right now in England, 2 out of the 3 will sell it in Hungary - yeah, that's where I live -, I couldn't care less about the AT&T problems.

My primary reason now is serious lack of privacy protection.

They can and will record and store every location u use it.

For a sh*t excuse i also dont like, better localized deals/offers and advertisement.

That one scene in Minority Report comes to mind, in the mall, security camaras scan yer eye iris and u get personalized advertisments shoved in yer face. Dreadfull, imo.

Meh, the location stuff doesn't worry me.

Considering the amount of CCTV these days location in City's is practically the same thing.

Not overally impressed by the new phone but the upgrade in processor to 1ghz and 512mb ram should make it a lot faster, thing is i've never found my 3GS to need to be any faster.
The new features i could care less about, i've never felt that i needed anything more than what i have on the 3GS at all. I've had video call phones before but i think it's a useless technology.

If only they could really really improve the things battery life.
