The webcast is due to begin at 10:30 EST.  I can’t justify spending money for a new phone and a bigger data plan ($5.99 T-Zones and a 5-year old Nokia 3650 are fine by me).  Even the appeal of faster 3G connections is not enough.  $0.89 per DRM-free song from Amazon isn’t enough.  I’m just not ready.  I’d rather buy a used iPhone off eBay or wait for the second or third round of gPhones.

I’m prepared to be let down by the gPhone.  The initial leaked specs are a little weak - no video recording?  Really?  Most carriers free phones have video ability!  And no stereo bluetooth?  No inline headphone jack?
