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

Abstract: Yesterday I wrote up my purchasing experience which included waiting in line and then finally purchasing the iPhone 3G S. Moments after playing with the iPhone 3G S I had already formed some opinions but I figured I’d give it a day before passing any j...
Here is the most important part of this review. Personally, if you have the iPhone 3G, I wouldn't bother upgrading. That is of course if speed and a compass don't matter to you. It's not worth the minimal of $200 just to have those features and to be l...
In summary, the Apple iPhone 3G S is a minor refresh and upgrade from the iPhone 3G, so if you're a 3G owner, you really won't need to upgrade since most of these features will be available via the free iPhone 3.0 software update coming on June 17th. H...

Abstract: In case you are standing in line today at an Apple Store, I wanted to say a few things about the new iPhone 3G S. 1. Id love to get the new iPhone 3G S, but I dont qualify for the discount until December 29, 2009. As an early adopter of both previo...
