I don’t consider it’s worth buying the new iPhone 3G S, unless your carrier offers you a cheap upgrade option. The OS 3.0 will bring a lot of 3G S’ features, excepting the 7.2MBps HSPA, 3 MP camera, better processor, and a few more. If you don’t really need those features, go for the OS 3.0 and keep your current iPhone 3G.

However, fans of the iPhone are cheered when Apple’s iPhone 3G S made its debut. Also, most users would like to put DVDs movie video on iPhone 3G S. I’ve found a good tutorial about import DVD / video to iphone 3GS/ iPhone 3G: http://www.daniusoft.com/tutorial/dvd-video-to-iphone-3g-s.html

The price is too high for such little features.

I will stay with my 3GS.

A standard needs to be created so all phones from all brands on all networks (including computers with webcams) can video call with each other. (If hardly anyone can talk with each other, like if you could only talk to other iPhone owners, it won’t ever catch on)

Cell networks need to be dramatically improved to allow for anything close to wide-spread usable quality. (people need to just know that video calling will work no matter where they are before they start regularly using it. If it seems spotty, they’ll just forget about it)

Until then it will be an extremely buggy, gimmicky feature that you might use to show off but when it came down to it, would sit idle. They’re BARELY getting MMS standardized between different carriers (even just a few years ago it was big news that Verizon and Sprint could send pictures to each other) and phones and imagine how simple that is compared to live streaming video.

share your views at http://www.iPhone3GS.org it’s just for the iPhone 3G s.

@InsideInfo:

To continue producing the 3G as it is configured right now. It is not in Apple’s territory.

DISMISSED. Please close the door on your way out.

iPhone Evolution! That would be cool. It should

Maybe it's 3GS because "S" is the 19th letter in the alphabet and it'll be released on June or July 19th!!!!

......I have too much free time :/

By: Nick

Nick — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 03:38:44 +0000

it wont be called the 3GS. It will be the iPhone 3G again (just like the ipod touch wasnt renamed). It will have upgraded processor and ram, be available in 32GB capacities and will have video recording capabilites with the rear (only) 3.2mpx camera. Nothing more, nothing less.

if u think about it, APPLE is genius!!! They have us wailing about geting features my 04′ RAZR has. Come on, Apple needs to step up things up. video & MMS is good. But longer battery life(maybe even a removable 1) is ESSENTIAL!!! Ill jus wait till nxt yr for an upgrade. I’ve been w/o video and MMS for a yr and life still goes on!!!

Oh! and shame on those who can't keep it nice. Believe it or not there are some children on this site and what kind of example are y'all setting? My son is no longer allowed to visit this site after what I just read. I will block this on his browser.

mms is so yesterday by now. Could have used it 2 years ago on my first gen iPhone but not now. Email takes care of it all for me. I’m still on my 8gb first gen iPhone and love it. Except for the horrid 2g net speed but it works. Looking foward to tomorrow and see how it pans out. It will be a nice upgrade for me to 32 gb. I sort of like the black rubber, kind of like the bat suit armor. Thinner will mean having to upgrade my hip and vehicle holders as well. One of the rare times I’m actually looking foward to a Monday LOL.

By: Adam

@Matt.. You should listen to what McNamee said on smartphone competition.

Apple is not competing with the Palm Pre or any other smartphone line. It is competing with dumbphones because they hold the most market share.

By: InsideInfo

InsideInfo — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:26:49 +0000

You have forgotten that APPLE aspire for excellence. To continue producing the 3G as it is configured right now. It is not in Apple’s territory. Besides next year, a new Iphone HD or higher is due to be released. Did you forget Apple’s acquisition this year of some of the hi-tech companies.

By: icebike

@InsideInfo:

Well, yes, I expected Apple to have 3Gs available for replacements.

But Daring Fireball suggests the 3G will remain in production and for sale as the entry level iPhone.

No disrespect intended, but Fireball has a better and longer track record than you, so perhaps you can give us some reason to believe you.

I think that would be a smart move to have like a flagship phone then lower end for the people who want the name, but maybe not all that extra stuff.

Like how the HTC Touch line had the Touch Diamond/Pro...but also the Viva. That would make it nice and affordable to everyone.

That just means that att will have 3g trade ins. They’ll just redurb them I’m sure and sell them online.

By: icebike

icebike — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:24:06 +0000

While everyone is posting insults and homegrown rumors it seems everyone missed this bit from the Blog entry:

that the new iPhone 3GS models will not replace the 3G, but rather assume the flagship position while the year-old 3G slides down to the second spot in the product lineup.

Does that mean that the 3G will remain in production?

Did the First Gen phone remain in production after the 3G came out?

Why would Apple do this?

By: icebike

icebike — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 00:21:13 +0000

I'd remind everyone that Apple never has satisfied ALL the Rumors.

Prepare to get much, but not all of what you have read about.

If the 3GS is faster, then the S must stand for SsssSMOKEING!!!

It really doesn’t matter what they show tomorrow all you guys compaining no full well that you buying the new iPhone no matter what they do to it. Personally all I want is a software update so that I can do the things it’s supposed to. I don’t think that’s asking too much. I come on this site to get info and pointers and this is really sounding like a bunch kids arguing about about bullshit. Come on.

@big mike. I would NEVER buy a pink iPhone. That example doesn’t work with everyone. And plus. I don’t think the general population would buy a pink iPhone over a palm pre. And that’s what apple really cares about.

I had the 1st one, got the 3g now and will buy the new just because Apple always steps up the game!!.

This "Truth" character reminds me of the kids on Xbox that start cursing and threatening you for no reason when you join a game. Picking fights with people who he knows can't do anything about it. I'm just not sure why he wastes so much energy.

I highly doubt the status of some store in New Jersey Is going to stop Apple from releasing a phone when they want.

With that said, I don't think we're going to see 3.0 or the new phone this week, but I hope I'm wrong.

What's the over/under on crazy rumors on Tipb between now and 1 PM tomorrow?

There's a main Apple store in central Jersey that's close for renovations, so I don't think they would have don that if there was going to be a release of a new iPhone this Monday.

They posted that they will be opening back up on June 26th, which lead me to believe that on this day they will reveal the new iPhone.

Thats right. Gruber is very close. Apple has two selection to name the new hardware to 3.5G or 3GS. With either, ATT has agreed to Apple that there were no hikes in fees for unlimited Texting and MMS. It will stay at $20 for all the faithful out there.
