QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Aug 10 2009, 04:00 AM) @chingwooi, The main difference between the i3GS and the i3G is really in its speed. I upgraded from the i3G to the i3GS and have had no regrets. I believe U won't have much regrets either. Also, I've in the recent times, passed on my i3GS to a cousin from Germany and now back to using i3G and I find the processor speed really really slow! [except I'm not complaining cause it's better to have a phone to use than nothing at all!] Haha, I'm not really concerned about the speed. Because I'll be replacing the iPhone over my iPod touch, so I'm kinda looking for an upgrade instead on downgrade in term of the sound quality. Reviews shown that the iPhone 3G SQ is pretty sucky in comparison to the 2G so I was wondering whether the 3Gs is better or the same. |

Given what you said, if it were me, I will settle for the 3G and in that case, you will not have to eat bread only. Then wait for the completely new iPhone slated to appear next year. But, it's your money and therefore your call. |

@chingwooi,
I never equated the iPod to iPhone so I don't think I can help u there. As to sound quality, I thought the i3Gs quality's better than the i3G but uhm.. I'm no audiophile and don't listen to songs via an earphone.

QUOTE(chingwooi @ Aug 9 2009, 11:06 PM) I was really hoping that someone can tell me the difference coz I'm currently plunged into the dilemma of choosing whether the iPhone 3G(save money) or iPhone 3Gs(eat bread). The iPhone 3G is using the Wolfson chip whereas the iPhone 3Gs is on Cirrus Logic, same goes to the iPhone 2G, people are saying that the iPhone 2G does hv better sound than the 3G(although Apple claimed differently xD), which deliberately means the cirrus logic chipset is better than the Wolfson, yet the Cirrus Logic chipset used in the iPod Classic 6th gen was reported to be a huge failure. So, haha I was hoping anyone can help to clarify it xD P/S: I hv no idea what model of the Cirrus Logic and Wolfson chipset used in the iPhone and iPod. I dunno which thread out of so many iPhone thread there to post so I guess I'll open new thread on this, if there's existing topic regarding this, kindly direct me there, I'll close this thread. Thxs. Im practically at yr position now. Im still thking on both the i3g and the i3gs. Been days since im thinking bout it. Most probably give it till end of this month then decide to buy it. Im currently goin for the i3g as the i3gs will like u say (eat bread). Lol. And i just want an iphone,not really bothered but come to think of it the games are pretty cheap,scared install too much games inside and then the i3g lags  . So,reconsidering till now. I can get the i3gs but will probably stretch my budget to the maximum and i hate doing so |

@jlstriker,
U don't get more data later, U just have to subscribe then. However at the present moment, Maxis hasn't released any data plans for prepaid subscribers.

@bb.supplements, Read up the purchase guide here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/871684 and check the model number to ascertain it's a genuine iPhone. Or, bring a friend who can tell the difference  |
