The editors didn't like
AntiFingerprint coating isn’t perfect
Cleaning cloth no longer included with iPhone
New compass and voice memo icons seem lazily designed
Pricey
Glass back can easily shatter
Difficile de comparer des unités aussi différentes. Quand certaines sont plutôt destinées à un usage
No option to expand memory and no strong multitasking capabilities
Some dropped calls
Can’t multitask with third-party apps
No camera flash
Phone performance is still mediocre. Browser still lacks Flash. Still wont be IT managers first choice.
Still no multitasking in this generation.
Onboard video trimming is destructive
Battery life still disappoints Still no true multitasking
Requires two-year commitment to AT&T Wireless for lowest prices
Soft-looking video
Voice Control lacks some polish
While it has certainly been improved
The camera remains the iPhone’s Achilles heel. Look and Feel...
Battery life for 3G calling and data remains unacceptably low
Requiring heavy phone or 3G data users to perform mid-day recharging
Use of other new features
Including video recording
Drains battery at even more rapid rate. Preserves problematic pl
Multitasking still limited. No tethering or MMS support yet for AT&T users. Recent iPhone 3G customers must pay a fortune to upgrade
The iPhone 3GS call quality shows no improvements and the 3G signal reception remains uneven. We still dont get Flash Lite
USB transfer and storage
Or multitasking.
The excitement just isn’t there anymore. Moreso than ever
It’s more of the same
The decreased price point of the 8GB 3G may be good for Apple’s bottom line
But it’s starting to feel like the RAZR all over again.
Battery life could be better
Still can't change some alert tones.
Camera still lags behind other smartphones (fewer megapixels
No flash or zoom)
Still no expandable memory solution.
Quite expensive
No Java support
No Flash support
No multithreading support
Only one application can run on the phone at a time
Same old iPhone design
Inside and out. Needs more buttons. Messaging apps not powerful enough to take on the leaders in the field
With all this in mind, there comes a time when every prospective consumer and analyst has to zoom out of the feature specifics and observe the overall demographics and purposes to buying a product. As of now, the reason to buy an iPhone 3G S likely app...
Abstract: REVIEW: The Apple iPhone provides the best, lag-free performance of any iPhone, as well as native voice dialing, compass capabilities and support for Bluetooth 2.1. But many of Apples latest and greatest features can be found in the iPhone 3.0 softwar...
Abstract: by Conrad H. Blickenstorfer When the iPhone 3GS came out (thanks, Apple, for the nice pic above), however, my contract was up and I was one of the few who actually qualified for the stated US$199/299 price for the 16/32GB 3GS models. I cant imagine ...
Abstract: Launched on June 19, the iPhone 3GS is Apples follow-on to the phenomenally successful iPhone 3G. Exemplifying the philosophy "if it aint broke, dont fix it", the 3GS looks exactly like the 3G, except for tiny text on the back that is chrome ins...

Still no multitasking in this generation.
and buying adviceAs an evolutionary upgrade, the iPhone 3GS still wont please some without a fundamental change in its technology, if it can please them at all. The Palm Pres multitasking isnt something that can be replicated without a major overha...

The iPhone 3GS addresses most of the fundamental weaknesses of the previous models, adding raw speed, voice-activated phone and music navigation, an improved autofocus camera, and video-recording features. With two major revisions in the past year, th...
Abstract: June 19th goes down as a memorable day because it’s the launch day of the third iteration of the iPhone, Apple’s ultra-portable, innovative brainchild. While many 3G users may not be upgrading to the 3G S quite so soon due to upgrade pricing issues, o...

Whether or not to get an Apple iPhone 3GS isn’t as clear-cut as it used to be; first, and for many users foremost, is the fact that it just isn’t much of an upgrade from the 3G. If you’re a 2G owner or a new user looking to hop aboard then the decisio...
