    I'm totally in love. I was going to get a 32gb black one, but I got white instead since the case I chose was white and pink, plus I'll be able to tell it apart from DH's black one I picked up for him :) I freaking LOVE IT!!! I had a 3g before and it was SO slow. I mean, I knew it was slow, but I didn't realize just how slow until I got this one!!

    I am in love with Siri, although in Canada we don't have the locate services yet (so she can't tell me where there's a restaurant near by, etc) but I'm hoping they update that soon. She has some funny lines. If you ask her to marry you she says "Let's just be friends", LOL!!! I asked her to tell me a joke and she said "Two iPhones walked into a bar... I can't remember the rest" and when I asked her to beam me up she asked "Wifi or 3G?". I love it! The camera is amazing, I'm loving the folders, and I can hardly wait for DH to get home so we can hook his up and do facetime!!!

    I seriously need a nap but I'm so enamoured with my phone I can't sleep. *Geek moment: I was so excited last night I had a really hard time sleeping.* I was up at 6am this morning, in line at 7:40, store opened at 8 (I was #4 in line), and I had a phone in my hand at 8:15. Secret to my success? I went to my little phone provider's kiosk rather than the big Apple store in the same mall. There was barely anyone there!

    Oh plus I'm super excited Sushicat is running like nobody's business on my new phone! I hated that it always self destructed on my 3G!!!

    @bakerella: I have the 4 and love it.... I'm not up for an upgrade till mid next year but you better believe once I am I'm upgrading to Siri....

    I WANT THAT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!

    We finally got my phone to switch to iphone too this week... not the 4s but to the 4 and I FINALLY got to facetime someone!

    I'm totally jealous of you and Siri's new relationship... not gonna lie. lol

    Glad you're enjoying it! eek! I LOVE apple and all their innovations!

    ETA: what is Sushicat?.....

    What is Siri? It sounds awesome! I'm a blackberry owner, so I don't know much about iphones...sadly :( But I am very curious!

    @amnystik: Dude. You have to download the SushiCat app!! It's a game. It's really simple but ridiculously addicting and fun. I love me some SushiCat!! LOL! Siri is amazing. I'm so happy I upgraded today, it's a HUGE world of difference. DH thinks we can likely sell our old 3G phones for about $90 which would balance out what I paid for mine (my cell phone provider gives you 5% of your bill back in reward dollars to put towards hardware upgrades, so that money plus the discount for signing a new contract meant I only had to pay $90 for my new phone).

    @gogogiraffes: YES!!!! You're going to love it!!!

    @Ms.Pink: She's a little woman who lives in your phone and you push a button and say "What's the weather like in Orlando Florida?" and she answers "Hmmm let me check..." and then reads you the forecast and brings it up on the screen. Seriously, anything you need to know, she'll find it out for you. It's amazing. She can even text for you!!

    ETA: Here's a link to her: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/siri.html

    @bakerella: SWEET deal!!!!!!!!!!! I'll have to look into Sushicat.... idk if I have time to add another app addictions though. lol

    The only thing I would be concerned with on selling your old phone is that the 3g is not compatible with iOS 5... so idk how selling them would go... =(

    @amnystik: Meh, someone on Ebay will buy it I'm sure ;) It still runs on v4.whatever, so there might be someone out there who wants it, even just for parts.

    @gogogiraffes: Oooh just you wait until you give Siri a whirl. And the camera is SO much better than my 3G! I'm not embarassed to show people my phone now!! Nor do I ever have to start a sentence with "Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic" again!

    @bakerella: I sold my iPhone 3 (not 3G) on eBay this winter and got over $200 for it (and the wifi didn't even work anymore. You should be able to get a pretty decent price if you wanted to sell it online (especially if you open the listing up to international bidders - mine went to Israel)

    Siri is AWESOME... my brother just got it and we've been having a 2 hour conversation with her.  It's hilarious.  He said, "How do I get home?" and she says, "*Name*, I don't have your home address - in fact, I don't know anything about you."  haha!

    "What's your favorite color?"  "My favorite color is... well, Idk how to say it in your language.  It's sort of greenish, but with more dimensions."

    and my personal fav, "I love you Siri."  "That's nice - can we get back to work now?"  LOL!!!!

    "What are you wearing?" "Aluminosilicate glass and stainless steel. Nice, huh?"  LOL!!!

    Yup - this is what my brother and I are doing on a Friday night...

    My line was eligible for an upgrade so considering DH needs the newest phone to test on (he's an iPhone developer), he got the new one and I got his iPhone 4 (upgrade from my 3GS).

    I played with it a bit and its very cool. Siri is badass. If you ask it "Where can I hide a body?" it will give you options for ditches, dumps, waterways, etc. The text to speech is pretty sick. You have to be very clear when speaking into it but it's pretty accurate. The camera is also really cool. SOOO much faster than any of the other generations. All in all, we're happy with the new phone. I'm just looking forward to the next one coming out so I can inherit the 4s. :)

    haha, finally a thread on weddingbee my DH is actually interested for me to tell him about, LOL. i was just reading out your replies to him and he was enjoying it. i just got an Iphone 4 after having an 3GS for like a month, so i am still new to this whole thing and have a lot of exploring and learning to do.  eventually perhaps i will get the newest one.   enjoy!  i am totally intrigued by Siri!

    We had an ultimate fail last night. We went out to a neighbourhood party and cut out a little early because both DH and I were anxious to get his new phone set up since he's going to a wedding far away this weekend and staying the night, so Facetime would have been really great to have while he's gone. We get home, unbox his phone and I start looking for the micro SIM card in the bag. It's not there. Then I realize the guy at the phone kiosk must have taken the one he was going to give me for DH and put it in my phone, and then forgotten to put another one in the bag for DH's phone. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I found out where there's another kiosk in a mall close to where the wedding is and gave him instructions to find his way there since he'll need to get a card for them anyways (knowing that there's no way my husband has planned ahead). Fingers crossed he follows through on it.

    @beekiss: The phone needs a SIM card to work. Our old iPhones took the regular size SIM and the iPhone 4s takes a micro sim, so you can't just transfer one to the other :(

    I still have the 3GS. I don't have any issues with it though, so I'm going to keep it for a while. Especially considering Apple always has updates, I'm gonna wait for the 5. :) lol.
