It's more impressive in real life than looking at a bunch of numbers.

I got the 3G S, and after 2 days of playing with it, it's really hard to play with the 3G. It feels like the 3G got extra slow and extra laggy after using the 3G S, but it's just because the 3G S is so much better.

Play with one for a while, and then go back to your 3G.

Now only if i could jailbreak it.

Guess I'll be getting a new one

Mine is too tight. I had to shove the ejector tool in the hole, which hurt my fingers, to barely squeeze it out so I could grab the SIM holder.

ahhh yes speed

I I could not stand posting with my 3g but I can say the S might not have a lot of web site download change but just the overall speed of the phone is great and I have not been able to crash any app like my 3g use to. No facebook crash no safari crash no game crashes. I love my 3gs

alright im not getting this how does loading a website have anything to do with the actually phones speed wouldn't it not change because were still running the same network? i dont get this at all yeah the phones processers are twice as fast but why the hell would it make everything else signifactally faster

I bought one on launch day, the difference to my previous iPhone 3G is staggering. Makes those previously tedious tasks like switching between Mail and Safari painless - all the more useful especially when using cut and paste.

The 3G is fast... but after you jailbreak it.. load a bunch of apps.. load a bunch of themes.. load more mobilesubstrate apps... it runs out of system resources and starts to LAG REALLY BAD. The true test will be after the 3GS is jailbroken and we can start loading it up with a bunch of stuff to test it under "pressure". Waits...

Web pages need to be rendered, and a faster processor makes all the difference. Also, the new OS 3.0 has a faster javascript engine - coupled with the 3GS's faster CPU, the result is that web pages load about as fast as on a desktop browser.

Just got my mom to upgrade her blackberry 8300 to a 3GS - at which point I'll swap my 3g for hers. She's been dying to use my phone forever, and for her usage, she'll never know what shes missing. Best part about it - I offered my card to cover the expenses? She slapped my hand and said Happy Father's Day! Now I just have to wait the 7-14 days for the store to have my white 3GS 16G in stock - which if im lucky, while allow the GS jailbreak to be all set by the time it arrives.

It's good to be the king.

Cuz there will always be a bottleneck somewhere.. If changing the CPU helps the browser render pages faster.. then there is your answer.. Network speed is only one factor.

[confucious]

On WiFi the 3GS is a lot faster than the 3G - Why?
Download speeds are normally the bottleneck and they haven't changed - unless I am mistaken.
Can this all be down to rendering?

Ive got 1 2g iPhone, 2 3g iPhones, and 2(now 1 cause one is sold on ebay) 3g S iPhones and 2 Google G1's. And the specs on the T-Mobile G1 are complete bullsh*t!!! Ive compared them both on wifi (3gS and G1) and they are about equal... And with the CPU overclocked at 527mhz and 256mb of swap space on an 8gig SDmicro card on the G1, the G1 walks away from the iPhone 3gS.. (Ill try and get some times up next time im on wifi....)

But I think the creator of that table needs to get his facts straight....

And all I can say is that I am very dissapointed in the 3gS (Apple is just trying to make more money...) they could have a least been a little more creative and added some differences to the 3gS from the 3g. (Idk maybe fix the screen, so it doesnt shatter even if it's dropped on a pillow from 3inches?)

Just my 2 cents, have a nice day

You are entitled to your opinion.
I don't share it.
