To Wait or Not To Wait For New iPhone?

[TaxGuy]

Well it's been a crazy last couple of weeks, not only am I actually doing work at work instead of browsing the forums, but I haven't had much time outside of work to browse/post.

Which leads me to....

I am eligible for an upgrade on my phone on 3/5 with my contract expiring on 7/5. Since I commute to work via the wonderful Metra, I have plenty of time for browsing, but no mobile device to browse on(unless I get a connect card/plan for my Macbook :smxB so I am really looking forward to getting an iPhone on the 5th!

Unfortunately it looks like a new iPhone is due out in June and while I doubt it will contain all the lacking features of the current iPhone(no A2DP for bluetooth stereo headphones, no copy/paste, no landscape keyboard, etc.) I'm sure it'll be an improvement worth waiting for....

I know the no A2DP is a HUGE disappointment as I use my moto S9's on my current phone for wireless entertainment and EVERY bluetooth device I've had has had the compatibility, I was shocked to find out that the iPhone doesn't(unless you buy one of those $40-60 adapters).

To top it off, with my fat fingers it's tough to type on the narrow keys of the "portrait" keyboard.

But the #1 purpose will be to stay on top of the forums and also do research towards the biz ideas I have been kicking around and of course apply what I learn at B&P :coolgleamA:

So with all the threads on iPhones, it'd nice to get any input from current users on the pros/cons of the current iPhone as well as your "business" uses for it and ultimately if it's worth waiting for the new iPhone.
