The iPhone 3GS! By now you’re probably familiar with the device and the name, (S stands for SPEED!). But in case you had a few questions regarding OS 3.0 or the new device I’ve got it covered.
The biggest question on most peoples mind is what the major differences are. First of all it should be pointed out that the latest update to the hardware is under the hood. The only difference in terms of visual design between the iPhone 3G and the 3GS is the name on the back of the device. But under the hood is where the real work has been done. Instead of reinventing the most popular smartphone on the market, Apple has decided to do the subtle thing and improve it. These improvements come in the form of a better processor (up from 412MHz to a rumored 600MHz). The camera has been bumped up a megapixel to 3.0 and comes with video recording and auto focus, although there still is no flash option. A hardware compass has also been included.
On the software front, OS 3.0 now comes with push notification, better MMS, tethering, the long awaited cut and paste as well as a proper GPS navigation solution. Spotlight has finally made its way to the iPhone which promises to allow users to do system wide searches. Rounding up the major features for OS 3.0 is Voice Control and stereo Bluetooth options.
So now that you get an idea of the major updates to not only the software but the phone its time to answer a few FAQ’s. |

| Re: Apple iPhone 3GS Okay i'm really thinking of getting one of these. I can afford to cancel the last 6months of my crap T-Mobile contract, and afford to get the 16GB 3GS on a new contract for £180. So initially it'll cost me over £300 :eek:
Worth it, however. My primary concern is dropping the thing and cracking the screen, anyone know how much it costs to replace the screen ? |
