Remember how I said that I was pretty happy with my iPhone 3GS and would likely hold off on upgrading? That didn’t stop me from joining the four million other tools who purchased a 4S over the weekend. It all started with some innocent browsing on Craigslist to check the resale value of my 3GS, which turned out to be more than I thought. Then I realized that an Apple Store was only a few minutes drive from downtown. You can figure out the rest. It only took me a few hours to sell my old phone for a cool $160, so this iPhone purchase actually cost less than my 3GS.
And now my new phone is sitting on my desk, looking all sleek and polished. As I predicted, Siri can’t make heads or tails of my speech, but that’s okay. The screen is brilliant and I’m sure I’ll get some good use out of the improved camera. This will do quite nicely until the 5S comes along in a couple years.
