the speed improvement is a major major difference, launching apps is so much faster now. and even every little thing like switching from portrait to landscape typing happens faster.

on top of that i went from 8GB to 32GB and oh man is that a gigantic difference.

I’ve not leapt on the iphone bandwagon yet. I held off till things matured. if I go 3Gs now, seems good enough to me unless there is something huge looming on the horizon.

I have one question though: Does the 3Gs have one speaker on the bottom left side (like the 3G), or does it have 2 (one on each side at the bottom)?

I wonder since mine seems to have one, but my wife’s has sound from both sides. No matter how much I surf the web, I can’t seem to find an answer to this, so any help is more than welcome!

I just have to keep telling myself that the original one is good enough so I don’t want to upgrade.

I didn’t mind the speed of the apps loading the original iPhone until I experienced the difference.

Also the Internet speed is amazingly fast compared to the 2g iPhone. Page loads faster and it’s fast enough to stream pornos on those adult website.

Now if I can use it to stream live tv sports program and use a tv out, then I really have everyhing I need in terms of mobile functionality.

I believe this is the processor that operates in the new iphone 3gs. Samsung says that this processor can work on 833mhz and its able to capture 720p videos on 30fps. Its all turned off in the 3gs, why is that? Maybe they are holding it back for next year next generation iphone or for an upcoming software update? How knows…

Now, I must admit that, all the other features aside, I think that Rene is right and I think that the speed alone is worth the upgrade. Apps just open and pages load faster and there is no keyboard lag when typing (that’s really BIG for me). Voice control is cool too!

Either way, people should be fine with their 3G too. But if you can, sell your old iPhone online and get the new one. It’ll be worth it.

Maybe the app approval system is not the best, but plz do show me an existing system that is so fabulous to u. Maybe u r referring to RIM’s system? $200 for 10 submissions INCLUDING updates?

“Anything that will help functionality is not approved” … quit QQ cause that statement is plain silly. tethering is approved, couple office suites, few navigation apps, BeeJiv 3.0 w/ Push, … and the list goes on and on.

Next time u wanna bash something, plz use it or try it (at least) first, and then build arguments, not cries.

I appreciate the editors showing some enthusiasm for the new great product even if it is not a justified upgrade for myself.

You, on the other hand, is a troll plain and simple. Heck, even trolls get tired but not u lol

No you are a fanboy plain and simple.

The doubled capacity, speed, camera, and compass are reason enough to upgrade for me.

In addition to having the new phone, I have an iPod Touch to play with as well…another bonus.

ps: i would be interested in a short review about the difference of bitrate and filesize between the original .mov file on the phone, and the highly compressed version that is uploaded to youtube when doing a direct upload from the phone. how big is the visible difference in quality between those? some samples of original vs youtube-compressed would be nice

What do you think is the best Picture program that will upload to Flickr?
