Get the unlimited texting package...I went over once and it was a HUGE bill that month...and knowing how wimmins love to text

THe unlimited voice has just been dropped too by $30 bucks down to $69 from $99

Get an Otter box so you dont go through the pain of replacing the phone due to damage or droppage...BTW Magpul will have thier case available in Feb

3GS.


If she is going to watch movies on it, or use it as an Ipod then get the 32gb.

This pretty much sums it up, and get her a clear plastic window (cover) as well, as those screens scratch very easily, as I found out on my first one!

Edit:
If you're paying the bill, inform her as to the aps available, and to watch which ones she chooses, as some are pricey, but there are a ton of cool free ones.

If it's as good as the otterbox, I'm in.

Which retailer will have it first?

They're expecting an update sometime soon. When? Who knows.



But I'm holding off on updating mine.

I just ordered my Droid today! I can't wait to tell at&t to pack it up their asses! It will be here Monday.


OP, if your wife is going to load a bunch music, movies and photos on it, get her the 32gb 3Gs model. If she's just a casual user who will only put a little music on it, save yourself some coin and get the 8 or 16gb model.

A new phone won't be announced until this summer if they follow their release schedule as they have in the past.

I love my 3GS, I hate ATT.
