Wow, cool info. I love my 3GS :-)

[bscott05]

I am absolutely in love with my 3gs. It is an awesome upgrade from the 3g. Very very fast, and I LOVE how the screen feels. You literally can't get finger prints on it!! May be a small feature but definitely noticed.

(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

Who isn't trying to make more money? "G2" coming out soon...

But anyway, 3GS is a huge improvement over 3G. Just because you can't SEE it doesn't mean it's not there. Again, wait till there are apps that really take advantage of the new processor and graphic chip. Then we'll see what the 3GS is all about.

The 3G build is already very good imo. I've dropped mine MANY times from my hand and pocket, twice on its face. And still running strong with NO dent (use a hard cover!). Of course, sh!t happens but then it's just your luck.

So do you 3GS guys really get that blazing speed from the original 3G comercials from last year? I wonder what all you will say next year when they come play us again for another faster 3G version phone which we were supposed to have in the first place......... "WOW 64GB, can't wait!" Not!

I sipped the apple flavored coolaide twice, but not gonna drink it again and upgrade with more promises. Will wait and see what next years 3G "whatever" brings. Maybe it will actually be more like the "blazing speed" it was always supposed to have.

They will probably call it 3GSS....or maybe 3GLT1. LOL!!

I love my 3gs it truly is a lot faster and its underclocked. with what apple has in store for it and with apps having access to twice the resources it has a lot of potential.
A lot of 3g users are hating on the s without even trying it. I get it ur pissed because u can't get the new one every apple fan shares ur feelings when the new stuff comes out
As far as the G1 haha its crap cheaply made and slow. not to mention their so called appstore just didn't make it. i might have to deal with ATT but at least its not tmobile.

So your comparing an overclocked phone, who's battery life sucks enough as it is, to a stock phone, who could easily out last the G1 in terms of power consumption? It's your table thats wrong not their's

I'm just glad somebody posted real world tests as opposed to that retarded cnet video that's out where they tested carrier dependent features. This one actually tested the hardware/apps/email functions that have nothing to do with the service providers. So Palm.... put that in your pipe and smoke it.....

[mikerlx]

I will probably get the 3G and hold off on the 3GS but seriously like Poseiden said wait for JB and all the apps you will be adding and see if the speed is the same.

Just ordered my 3gs im kind of excited actually. now its time to put my 2g up for sale than my 3g once ultra snow is unlocked. Quick question for any 3gs owner. is it possible to get the videos off the iphone and upload it to facebook. do the videos transfer to itunes

[swpelchat]

no not to itunes but they do transfer over to iphoto.








if i helped in any way please thank me.

[krazy4me2bme]

There is a huge difference from my 2g to the 3gs. As for the videos you can transfer them via windows explorer for pc or email them from your phone.

[hotrod54chevy]

in my honest opinion, i think the real question we should be asking here is if there are really that many jailbroken apps out there that would be worth bogging down the 3G S with. Sure when the 2G and 3Gs came out they were new and apps were a new concept, and no one really made any except committed folks either on the dev team or right here at the mmi. Now with the advent of the SDK, i feel that Apple's official apps are catching up quickly. this is coming from a guy who currently has a jailbroken 2G on t-mobile, but i'll be switching over to legit just for the 3G S. i'm tired of waiting for the ok before i upgrade, and i believe at this point the official apps are enough for me now. Originally i unlocked to try to save money and ended up paying more when my phone had screen problems. I'm sure others want a jailbreak to come just for an unlock, and if you have a carrier loyalty that is its own thing and i can't argue with that. you like your carrier and that should be enough to entitle you to unlocking it. So i'm not asking should we unlock. I'm just asking if you all agree with me that Apple is improving by leaps and bounds and maybe DOESN'T need as much help from the hackers as they once did. I understand that app development is something that is somewhat hacker in nature, so please take my rant with the grain of salt it is meant to be taken with. All i know is that i've personally played with a 3G S with wifi off and i personally couldn't tell the difference. It IS THAT FAST. both with app loading and web surfing. Like i said, sorry for the rant, i just felt like asking this out loud as clear as i possibly can. Thanks!

[swpelchat]

that is a very valid rant you just had bro and yeah i definately noticed a hell of a difference in speed...like you said there wasnt really any difference between the speed of wifi and 3g on the new 3gs....the camera and the compass definatley are very useful and just think of all the stuff that can be done with that set of api's alone. I think this comming week and the next few after that we will see some badass apps come out that will push the new hardware.

[salayyad]

hotrod got a point. im not sure if ill jailbreak my 3gs. it always slowed my phone down when i jb my 3g. oh and @ swpelchat i got iphoto 06 still do i have to update to a newer version. if so ill just send it in an email for the time being my *** still hurts after buying the 3gs.

[DaveiPhone]

As with the previous posters, I think the 3GS is a fantastic upgrade. In addition to dramatically better speed and battery life, the biggest difference I've noticed is that my phone doesn't slow down over the course of the day after running a bunch of different apps.

I did quite a bit of testing on my 3G, both Stock & Jailbroken. After a half day or so of switching between apps, messaging, email, and phone calls, the 3G almost always ran noticeably slower. Memory clearing apps like MemoryInfo sometimes helped, but more often didn't, so I generally rebooted once a day to get back full performance.

Now I used my 3GS ALOT since Friday, playing games, taking pictures and videos, playing with MMS (yes, I got that working) and so on. I haven't rebooted at all and it still runs as fast as it did on Friday. Memory Info still shows almost 80MB free. With my 3G, I was lucky if I had 20MB free by midday.

I *almost* don't feel the need to jailbreak this phone. The only things I really miss are WinterBoard, SSH, and TrickerThreeG. (OK, I miss SBSettings and Categories a bit too)
