Apple released the 3rd generation iPhone Friday which is called the 3G S and the S is for speed. I bought the 1st gen iPhone 2 years ago and was amazed by all that could be done with a cell phone. I decided to skip gen 2 the 3G because it only added 3G network and a few other improvements and honestly my 2 year contract was not up. Fast forward 2 years and my contract was ready for an upgrade and Apple added more features, but this time they sold me with the faster processor, 3 Megapixel camera, and video recording.
In a sense the the 3G S looks the same in design on the outside as the 3G from last year, but internally they beefed up the MHz and Ram and gave it some great advantages over the past 2 versions. The faster processor is very noticeable when I play my favorite game Peggle, on my 1st gen it would take quite a few seconds to load and now it loads in just a few seconds. Everything is faster from web pages loading to switching between apps. So compared to the 1st gen the speed is like going from Dial up to DSL and I don't think I could go back.
The camera was upgraded to 3 Megapixel and they added video recording which is very nice and easy to use. The camera was the 1st and 2nd gens biggest downfall in my opinion. I will have to take some pix and post them for a comparison, but I can already tell you I see a huge improvement. The screen is amazing how it does not show fingerprints at all like the past 2 phones. Honestly I don't know how they do it, but it is a nice feature.
The OS 3.0 is amazing and works on all 3 gens so I don't think that I will go into too much detail. What the 3G S adds is voice control where you can ask from what song is playing to dial Joe's work. It also adds a compass which is cool, but I wonder if it really works if you don't have 3G converage.
In conclusion I have to say if you have a 1st gen or no iPhone, then you need to get this version. I don't have enough experience with the 2nd Gen phone to compare, but I probably would have to say the 3G S is probably a better phone. Once again I am amazed how great the iPhone is and how it has revolutionized what cell phones have become. Now only if AT&T will get the MMS going and lower the monthly data back down to $20/month or throw in unlimited txt for the $30. The latter of the two won't happen, but seriously it is the best phone ever....
This is the case I have and it is highly recommended for how it fits, how it feels, and the price.
