AT T to Launch $99 8GB iPhone 3GS Soon? AT T Rumored to Prepare 8GB iPhone 3GS in Response to the Verizonโ€ s Droid Madness

It is the 6th of November already and all the madness around the Droid
seems to be gone. I wrote so much about the phone that I can hardly
think of anything that s left untold so far. Verizon has a real winner
here which has been analyzed and scrutinized from every point of view
everywhere around the Internets. Whether we like it or not, the Droid
will sell very well at least in the first few days. And if everything
goes well and the users like the Droid experience then we can probably
expect even more Droid smartphones to be sold in large numbers in the
following months too.
So today is a Droid day and we should probably talk about how the Droid
is doing out there in the field, right? Well we re going to let Verizon
s employees do their jobs and we ll turn our heads at least for a second
to the competition. What is everyone else doing while Verizon is
celebrating the Droid and the Droid Eris?
AT T seems to be the most affected carrier by the sudden appearance of a
phone that can fight against its iPhone. And AT T seems certainly
interested in going against Verizon. We ve seen AT T file a lawsuit
against Verizon just the other day and now the carrier is thinking about
a counter attack on Verizon s hot Droid offers.
An 8GB iPhone 3GS has emerged and everybody is talking about this new
rumor. AT T should launch the phone later this year although there are
no confirmed launch dates yet. The phone will replace the current 8GB
iPhone 3G and should sell for $99 with a 2-year contract. In other words
the 8GB iPhone 3GS is AT T s response to Verizon s new HTC Droid Eris.
Sure the phones are not exactly equal but you would be paying the same
amount of cash for any of them while having to sign a new 2-year
contract with either AT T or Verizon. The iPhone 3GS offers 8GB of
memory storage space while the HTC Droid Eris will come with a default
8GB microSD card. Not to mention all the other similarities in specs and
features. The iPhone has a slight advantage over both Droids as Apple
has an enormous App Store filled with content for the iPhone. The
Android Market on the other hand still needs to grow.
When it comes down to selecting one of them what will you choose? The
HTC Droid Eris or the rumored 8GB iPhone 3GS? Mind you that this 8GB
iPhone 3GS version hasn t been confirmed yet and no other carrier in the
world is talking about it.
