(all in good fun) However, I think you perhaps under-estimated the true savings on the mileage savings because of the cost of car maintenance and depreciation. If you saved 1000 miles, or even 500 miles over two years, this would actually save you $500 or $250 based on the IRS mileage allowance of 50.5 cent per mile. Additionally, since I just dropped my iPod in the lake, I will save money by not buying an additional iPod. I was going to buy a nano, so personal savings for me is about $150.

I actually think that you help prove my point more. :) As you think the current iPhone is good enough to hold onto even when the new one has come out. I'm sure there will be the third generation iPhone before a 2 year contract has expired, but if you hold onto the iPhone 3G this will save you the equivelant of $20... just like you're doing with the first gen iPhone over the iPhone 3G :) Cassie,

Chances are I'd be in line for the third as well. I'm going to skip this generation I think (<a href="http://crave.cnet.com/8301-1_105-9963760-1.html?tag=bubbl_1" rel="nofollow">there's plenty of reasons</a>).
