With Apple’s announcement of a new 3G iPhone<\/a>, I think one might be in my future.<\/p>\n

I’ve had my old Nokia 6600<\/a> since October 2004, and it’s just starting to fail. The screen is becoming dark and blue tinted, the photos (example<\/a>) just aren’t that great, and some of the buttons are starting to fail. The battery on it is also really quite bad, and I have to charge it every day else it’ll fail.<\/p>\n

Currently I pay around $47\/mo after taxes for 600 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekend, and no data via T-Mobile. If a plan via AT&T can give me ~300 anytime minutes and the same unlimited nights and weekends, along with a comparable data plan, for a somewhat similar price, I think I’ll go with an iPhone.<\/p>\n

I need to be sure that it will work with my custom iPod setup in the car<\/a>, which ties the line out into the stereo and power into the iPod for charging. I also want to be certain that when the iPhone is receiving power via the dock connector and playing that it automatically pauses when power is cut. I use this feature to ensure that the iPod automatically pauses when I turn off my car, and I’d like the iPhone to do the same thing.<\/p>\n

I figure that I’ll probably end up getting a Bluetooth headset for use when actually talking to people while driving. I rarely do this so I’ll probably first try using my old headset first, then maybe get a new \/ better \/ longer lasting one.<\/p>\n

Hopefully this will work out well and meet all the goals of getting a phone with a better camera, display, and battery, while at the same time providing me with a nice mobile network terminal and one less device to carry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
