They appear to be exactly the same. I'm gonna try it.

Only difference is the film coating the 3gs comes with.

[Broomhead]

^^^ have you opened yours up yet?

[cpjr]

^I am this close **holding fingers really close together**

But I havent yet.....I'd feel bad, lol. Even though when I was done you wouldnt be able to tell

[seh6183]

Sorry to change the subject but cpjr can you download some type on mem app on the AppStore and see how much available ram you have at any given time on your 3gS

[cpjr]

Without a reboot or anything....I was just running with 102mb free memory.

After reboot....160mb free

[seh6183]

I have to have one!!

[cpjr]

That and 50% more processing power makes it a Mazda.....

Zoom, zoom, zoom

[seh6183]

I just hope they jailbreak and unlock it so I can buy one

[cpjr]

Its coming, they've had great progress.

Why do you guys do ^ instead of hitting the quote button?

[cpjr]

Then you gotta wait that extra second for the page to reload

I had the same idea a few days ago and wrote a mail to a shop. They are not compatible.
I´m talking about the new 3GS digitizer and an 3G iPhone. I wrote them a mail and asked them to be sure, but they say it on their website also.
Here is what I wrote and their reply:

"Can you give me a short explanation, why the new digitizer [from
the 3GS] doesn´t work with an 3G iPhone? With the new "clean-film" on it, it
would be great. Did you try it or do you suspect it not to be working..?
Thanks in advance."

"Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry.
That would be a great question for Apple, we do not know why they made them
differently, but they are not compatible."

Am I allowed to post the Link here? If so I can do.

If somebody wants to try it anyway and maybe finds a solution, I would be really interested in havin it. But I will not try it, as it will probably not work/fit from itself.

The digitizer is seperate from the glass screen. it is the glass screen with the coating.

If you buy a 3G digitizer and then buy a 3GS glass screen and apply the 3G digitizer to the 3GS screen it should work?

[cpjr]

Actually you cant buy the digitizer separately from the glass because the digitizer is too fragile to handle. The part comes together.

I'll do some checking but Im willing to bet even though Apple may say the part is not compatible....it probably is....

I could yank mine off and stuff it on my 3g....hmmm, if I feel frisky.
