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

After a few days of playing with the new iPhone 3GS I have found myself missing the freedom I had with my jailbroken 3G. It’s true that I did not have the speed I have now, but I miss the ability to really make the phone mine. Most of the items that...
