Well there's a bunch of reasons why I could use the new iPhone but I guess the #1 reason would have to be the need for some 3G S speed! And also the extra battery life would be nice too. Thank TIPB

Talking

We rescued a teacup Chihuahua about 4 years ago from our neighbors who rescued her from a breeder farm but left her outside all the time even during a hurricane because she wasn’t house trained and had some medical problems. She is missing patches of fur, has a chunk missing from her ear, has hip problems from having puppies so young and her knee joints bend the opposite direction they are supposed to. One leg is so bad, she doesn’t use it much anymore. My freakin hormonal emotional teenage daughters ((whom I love with every oz of my being and are driving me FREAKIN CRAZYYYY fighting) (those few words should be enough to win me an iphone right there out of pity!!)) lost my baby! One daughter took her outside so she could antagonize the other daughter and they both came back in the house screaming at each other and left the 3 legged doggie outside. They both called me on my way home work crying because she was missing. We looked for her for a couple of hours and no luck. If I didn’t have such a dedicated and wonderful neighbor, one more hour and she would have been toast. It was 8* out and my neighbor found her 2 blocks away hiding under trees by a fence line only because she had a purple sweater on to help keep her warm. An iphone sure would have been nice to show her pic on while I was banging on every door in the neighborhood! It would also be wonderful to be able to record the teens arguing so they can see what boneheads they look like when they are fighting over who used who’s mascara! Every parent needs to have the latest gadget to be able to stay one step ahead of the children! Even though it is summer now, they are STILL DRIVING ME CRAZZZYYY!!! Pretty please pick me!!! I currently have a jack II with ATT and would love an iphone!

Default for my hubby...

Well, I've had the iPhone 3G since April, and both my husband and I LOVE it. He doesn't even have a cell phone yet, but we'll be getting one soon. I really, really, REALLY would love to get him an iPhone, largely for the locator option. He commutes to work by bike, and I can't tell you the number of times I've wished I could know where he was. I know... hokey, but it would be a huge peace of mind for me!

The #1 reason I want to upgrade has got to be speed! I'm a sucker for speed, this phone is faster than the version I currently have, therefore I want to upgrade!

Default Number One Reason to Upgrade

My number one reason for upgrading is to push the envelope of the camera/video capabilities of the new phone. I have recently taken up photography as a hobby and have an interest in what is generally regarded as the shortcomings of various cameras. Light leaking, pixelation, whatever it is, I believe there is art there and would really like to master the iPhone as art aspect.

I'm an independent developer and I'd like to be able to target and test for the 3GS but I don't have the cash for another phone. Winning this would certainly help!

I want to upgrade my iPhone so I don't have to feel guilty about buying my wife the old 3G when I buy myself the new 3G S.

Oh, and my wifi chip is burned out in my 2G.

Default Make a 5 year old very happy

I paid full price for an iPhone 2G, so I could not justify paying to upgrade to 3G just a few of months later when the price dropped. Now, a "mere" 8 GB is becoming more and more cramped as better aps come out, and I use the phone more.

Finally, my 5 year old daughter loves my phone. If I win the 3G S, I will turn the 2G into a iPod Touch for my wife and daughter.

Storage capacity! I love that the hard drive is solid state, but I outgrew it in less than two months of use and have been dying for a storage upgrade ever since! I have a 1st gen 8 GB and didn't feel the urge to upgrade when the 3G 16GB was released, but I'm definitely feeling the urge now! Everything else is icing on the cake!

Default Navigation

I use the Maps function on my 3G all the time! With it, at my manly best, I ask for even fewer directions than I would otherwise. BUT, even as awesome as Maps is, it's hard to tell which direction I'm facing to use the map. The magnetometer changes all that. I will become a navigational GOD!

I want the speed too, btw.
