*hint: always double check the list from the Apple website above against the iPhone 3G Part Numbers (this could be found outside the box or via Settings -> General -> About -> Model) to determine the origin of your iPhone 3G, as there is currently a scam going around the market.*

The iPhone 3G and 3GS, both share the physical appearance and it could be difficult to differentiate them at a glance. However here are a few tips to identify them:

1. The 3GS has a built in compass whilst the 3G doesn't.

2. The backcase of the 3GS has a reflective silver text (to match the silver Apple logo) whist the 3G bears a grey text.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


3. The 3GS is significantly faster and more responsive in terms of data processing

4. The 3GS has the ability to record video (and you can e-mail, send it via MMS, and upload directly to youtube and MobileMe) whilst the 3G can't.

5. The 3GS has a much better camera (3MP) and it has automatic focus, white balance and exposure as well.

Hey guys i got my iphone 3gs today at Australia.
Just wanna ask here, took me 1 hour to figure out how to sync my contacts from my sim card to my iphone, which was not easy.
So my question here, now that my contacts is in the iphone from the sim card, if i put in another sim card will it auto sync from itunes to another sim card, after i activated/authorized that particular sim card with the iphone via itunes.
And finally will a non 3G sim card work with an iphone 3GS in Malaysia, i have a Digi prepaid sim for 6 years already.

Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

don't understand your question. kindly rephrase.

if you got it directly from the apple store i.e. outright and officially unlocked, then yes. it will work with digi

Ok sorry i will start again:

I'm using sim card A (My Australia sim card), all my contacts are in sim card A, i managed to sync from Sim A to my iphone 3gs manually via iphone navigation, settings>mails,contacts,calendars>import sim contacts. So after doing that my contacts can be accessed in the iphone.

Now my questions are:
I'll be back in Malaysia during the holidays and it is an unlocked iphone i requested my providers to unlocked it.
Questions:
1. Every time i put a different SIM card e.g SIM B(Malaysia sim card), i have to connect to itunes first right so that itunes can 'activate' the iphone with the new sim (sim B) in order to be used.
2. Now how do i sync my contact from SIM A to the iphone which is now using SIM B? Does iphone autosave my contacts from SIM A when i connect to itunes and automatically/manually will sync my contact to the new sim B after 'activation'?
3. And lastly, sim B is a non 3G sim card (Prepaid), can iphone still be used with a non-3G sim card in Malaysia, i don't really surf internet via 3G  since my streamyx is up to my expectation for wifi navigation with the iphone.

Thanks for the help.

1. if you got your iPhone from a local australian network, you will need to request from your respective network to unlock it officially. once it has been authorised (and you have restored it), the iPhone is good to go with any compatible GSM network globally without the need of iTunes.

2. i'm not too sure with regard to this bit. however, logically it shouldn't erase any contacts, upon inserting SIM B.

3. no problem as my hotlink sim card is still the non-3G version.

maybe this is not the place to ask this, but i give it a try. can we use iphone to send sms to those sms services with short numbers? (i.e. ONSERVICE and send to 33999). compared to conventional phone numbers, a dash will automatically comes out after tapped in the first 3 numbers (i.e. 339 -99). i think the network (im using maxis) wont recognize the dash in the number. is there any setting for the iphone (im using iphone 3Gs fw 3.1) to get rid of the dash?
*
those 'dashes' do not play much role, to be honest. they will not affect any sort of sequence or what so ever.

they are determined by locality. hence try fiddling around your iPhone's region to see which one suits your preference best.

Hey guys, I've got a problem with my MMS.. so far I've been able to use the 3G connection to surf/watch you tube/download apps etc, but I've not been able to send MMSes.

When I creat a MMS message and send out, I can see from the status far that it reaches up to the top (90%) and it just stops there until it gives up.

Anybody know what is causing this? (also I can't receive MMSes)
*
the best bet, is to actually try if you can send a MMS on another MMS enabled phone (not an iPhone)

by doing that, you can eliminate a lot of other possibilities.

the music encoding might not be right/unsuitable

try downloading a free song from iTunes (because they have obviously have the optimal configuration) and see.

if it is still crackling, something might be wrong then.

Added on October 8, 2009, 3:03 amthis song is free.

try performing a "hard" reboot first i.e. hold both the silent and home button simultaneously together, until the distinctive white apple logo pops up.

try uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling again. if that fails, you may have to restore your iPhone as a new phone (last resort, but it worked for me)

the same for me as well. the pop-up didn't appear on both my PC and MAC and hence restoring the iPhone was the last resort.


yes, there are. but you will need to jailbreak your iPhone first
