Asked my Twitter peeps whether or not they were buying the just-released iPhone 3GS, and 175 replies later, the response is a pretty solid NO. Almost 80% of respondents are passing on the 3GS mainly because they don’t think the upgrade is worth the money, they’re not eligible for the upgrade pricing, they think AT&T blows, they’re waiting for next year’s model, or they’re simply happy with their current phone.

Yes-folks said the 3GS finally feels “feature-complete,” that the device replaces their GPS, point and shoot camera, and in some cases, their laptop, and others said it was the perfect reason to ditch their current crappy phone. Out of 175 responses, 138 said they were not getting the 3GS, and 37 said they were. (Since I’m an Android user, I attract non-iPhone types, so these results are skewed by who follows me.)
