iPhone 3G S

[Tym]

Absolutely Amazing. In it's own class. spot on!

IMO it's just got everything the very first iphone should have had (or at least included in a software update).. (Bar the memory)
3 megapixel, video, voice control, compass, copy and paste.
Still no flash!!
My n70 did copy and paste! And thats old
It's another Apple whim. Pile of rubbish in my eyes.

I like it although I'm going to skip this generation since I have a iPhone 3G and the 3GS really doesn't offer much more and is certainly far, far too expensive for what it is.

Apple missed a trick here. It really should have Flash Player support, 5MP camera with flash and bluetooth file transfer. Right now the iPhone is great, but to really make sure no one bought a Palm Pre, N70 and the like would be to give the iPhone the features that are standard on other phones and have been for some years.

It's a bit like the original iPhone - I mean how can you sell an internet phone without 3G support!

i like the iphone but until they give it the spec it should have theres no interest from me

Its definately one of the fastest, if not the fastest phone out on the market at the moment.

It renders webpages and loads apps stupidly fast for a phone, MUCH faster than the iPhone 3G.

The only thing IMO where someone could say it is lacking these days is the camera.

Bloody expensive piece of kit mind you.

The camera is exceptionally good for what i use it for, even comparing it to my n95 8gb, touch auto focus is a snazzy thing

And speed, my god it's quick!! It has everything I need really. I wasn't ever interested in the iPhone until they did this one! I got it over the n97... the amount of applications you can have on it is ridiculous!

And if your a geek like me.... jailbreak is the idea!

Who wants to pay for apps? not me!

Does everything and anything I want took me a while to get use to the keys though! but happy with them now.

o2 Tariffs are ****e though.

It shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to discover the iPhone won’t work too well in a furnace, or on the surface of the Sun. But then neither would you expect it to get the arse when the weather’s nice. That’s exactly what’s happening to some folk, however, and now there are rumours of an overheating problem with both the iPhone 3GS, or an issue with the 3.0 software update.

Whether there is a genuine fault or not, it’s enough of an issue for Apple to publish a guide to “keeping iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS within acceptable operating temperatures”, which some believe to be an admission of guilt. That advice essentially boils down (arf) to this:
Operate iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F)
Store iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS where the temperature is between -20º and 45º C (-4º to 113º F)

There’s also a list of activities not to subject your handset to if you want to continue playing Flight Control on it. So remember not to:
Leave the device in a car on a hot day
Leave it in direct sunlight for extended amounts of time
Use certain applications in hot conditions or direct sunlight for long periods of time, such as GPS tracking in a car on a sunny day or listening to music while in direct sunlight

You can’t use your iPhone when the temperature is below freezing? That rules out the temperate regions of the Earth for several months of the year. And you can’t listen to music on a sunny day, unless your iPhone is covered up? Seems the iPhone is good for indoor use, or short periods in Spring and Autumn. Cheers!

This is the warning you may receive if your iPhone overheats, just so you know. Why are Apple keen to point out this rather strict set of operating guidelines? Because some are suggesting the overheating is actually a manufacturing defect with the 3GS and 3.0 firmware - in particular those who now have a discoloured case because of it. Such a defect would be a disaster for the iPhone - perhaps Apple are hoping that a quickly published guide will shift liability back to the consumer.

Had a go with a 3GS today at an o2 shop. Speed was impressive but not enough features to make it worth changing from my 3G. Also charging extra for tethering is a joke!

It's a very very nice internet phone with loads of applications and an amazing graphics card.

So nice my brothers just gone out and bought one and my dads getting one later this week and my mate now has 2! :X

Applications are amazing on it.

I had it in 43c heat other day in office! still worked

Aha, the amazing "internet communications device"

What on earth for? Did the first one break?

Anyone would think it was the only phone in the world you could get apps for Ever wondered where Apple are making a lot of their money from?

I had my battered old Nokia N70 on the beach here in South Florida. Temps in the low 40's out of the sun. It still worked too, just as it has done for the last three years I've had it

Wow. A new iPhone. So what? It sucks faster than the old one?

I have a 3G iPhone and its the worst phone I've ever used. Sound quality is terrible. The touch interface is rubbish. The menus are fiddly. The lack of expansion is just plain dumb. Everything else has media card ability.

I will never buy another Apple phone.

 

[Kier]

Its funny how people seem to love it or hate it.

From what I've seen it looks a very good phone, maybe it doesn't have some things that others do, but still a good phone I believe.

Looking forward to October when I can get one.

Trade magazine Mobile Today is carrying a feature on Orange and T-Mobile acquiring the rights to sell the iPhone in the UK, a rumour that has been circulating the industry for several weeks. However, from the tone of this industry-based piece it appears to already be a done deal:




It’s likely that O2 will continue to exclusively sell the new iPhone 3GS, while Orange and T-Mobile will offer last year’s 3G handset. According to Mobiletor, T-Mobile has already started informing customers that it will soon launch the iPhone. Carumba.
