I’m playing tag with UPS right now, but I’ve taken the plunge and ordered a 3G iPhone with 6GB/month 3G data access.

While having GPS will be nice, it’s the 3G data access I’m most looking forward to. I’ve already started to browse the apps store looking for productivity apps, and I’ve upgraded to Flickr Pro which I’ll be using to share my mobile pics.

Some of the apps that have really stood out so far are Evernote, Wordpress, reQall (speech-to-text!), and Wikipanion. I’m still waiting for a good turn-by-turn navigation app. I’ve heard that the soon to be released 2.1.0 iPhone firmware might add this. I hope I can add the John Cleese voice … OMG they have Mr. T! “I said turn LEFT you FOOL!”.
