I just got my new iPhone 3GS from http://www.goadavntix.com the other day in the mail – it was unlocked and everything – only costs me $599 with free shipping (at least cause I live in the United States). They ship worldwide though. Took PayPal so it was secure. I dunno seemed like a good price to me for a no contract and unlocked iPhone 3GS…

just upgraded on monday, from 3G to 3GS, and I love it!!!!

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.

a lot of people are saying if you are a casual user, wait till next year. why? whats coming next year. is a whole new iteration of the iphone envisaged?

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.

Great review an d I totally agree!

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!

Still love my original iPhone and still have not decided if I want or need the 3Gs. The main thing that puts me off is the plastic back of the 3G and 3Gs. I have dropped my iPhone 2x on a concrete floor and it created a minor dent in each corner. I hate to think what would have happened had it been one of the other iPhones. I would like the extra space but I rarely use the cell network for web browsing and am usually near a wireless network that I can connect to. The speed of the device does not seem that bad to me either.

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

I'm typing on my new 3gs and the difference between the original iPhone is amazing.

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.

Noop , they didn’t want to hold it back. The main problem about speed is it consumes much batteries. I think apple decided to underclocked because of this.

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…
