Well...I'm in a 3G area, but I'm happier about the GPS -- at least until we hit such high gas preics (I'm in the general LA area), I like to go on car rides on the weekend. Sometimes it's the only good sleep my brother has.I do have a GPS, but I like the idea of having help if I get a bit too ambitious and I don't have it around. (The original iPhone's triangulating is close but not good enough if I'm not in an area I know.)Also, I use the data a LOT -- there are times I've emailed one of my parents as soon as their kiddo is on the bus, especially if he's had a rough day and I want to warn his grandma. Waiting for my email to load is killer. Sometimes.Plus, I'm hoping that eventually Sling will have a client for the Slingbox, which would be ridiculous on EDGE speeds but nicely watchable on 3G. Useful for keeping Patrick happy during a long wait at Disneyland. :-)I don't think it'll be as hug a "wow!!" as my original iPhone was -- compared to my old...KRAZR, I think -- but I do think it's a good deal.
