Is iPhone 1.5 Enough a Reason to Switch?

I've been looking for a good reason to switch to an iPhone and was pretty disappointed when a new version wasn't introduced at MacWorld last month.
Now that a 16GB version is available (Engadget has all the news), is it time to switch?
Honestly, I'm really torn. Are they introducing a new iPhone because people are complaining about the size of the hard drive? Or are they releasing a new version because iPhone 2.0 isn't coming any time soon?
I'm hoping it's the former, and that iPhone 2.0 will be available come summer or fall. But I'm not holding my breath.
Having more hard drive room is a plus, but 16GB still isn't enough for all the music, movies and podcasts I currently have on my 30GB iPod video. Plus, there aren't any new features (at least none that I'm aware of), so it doesn't fulfill some of my needs.
But it's still tempting.
What do you think? Is iPhone 1.5 enough a reason to switch?
Not even close to enough. This is typical Apple, dribbling out iUpgrades a little bit at a time.
Only 16gig, and no 3G.
I say keep waiting.
It's a slick phone, but I hate being locked into their system. You should be allowed to choose which carrier you want to use instead of being stuck with ridiculous service pricing. If it had 3G, I'd almost tell you to go for it, but what good is the internet if its as slow as dial up? I say keep waiting for a decent phone from one of the other carriers or hold off for the 3G support.
It helps, but I'd need 3G to push me over the tipping point. Wouldn't it be nice if you could take the battery out too? Regardless, it is a very cool phone that I'm constantly tempted to get….
nope!
I'd even wait for 2.8
