To be honest, I don't think I would even bother changing mine to the 3Gs.

Other than the 32gb storage and the battery life, others are just minor updates. Whats the point of a 3mp camera with autofocus without flash?

Looks the same, feel the same. I'm actually disappointed with the new iPhone 3Gs. sad.gif

Nope, its a hardware function.
Voice function has been out for donkey years and I don't think even 2 in 10 people uses it. It's not really a big deal after all.

Remember the part it says 'Play more songs by the Killers? when they are introducing Voice Control? I don't think it works with our 'normal' mp3's. I think it only would work with songs you buy from iTunes because the 'normal' mps' do not have any data about the name of the song in voice and I don't think the hardware is trained to read words. We would need someone to confirm this feature.

I think getting a matt casing would be a cheaper option. laugh.gif

Yea. Oh well, I won't be changing mine unless theres a really good offer. Other than that, nah. Next year perhaps.

3.0 firmware would do fine for now.

Yeah, another year wait for me.
Camera functionality is actually non essential for me. I do agree with the shutter button.

By the way, Gizmodo's hands on iPhone 3GS:

Autofocus camera without a flash is a joke. Seriously. Its like buying a chicken without the drumsticks.

One good feature: new iPhone 3GS has oleophobic coating on the display which means it's anti fingerprint magnet.

It's something we do not need as 9 out of 10 of the iPhone users has a screen protector on. The display is anti fingerprint but the screen protector is.

Connectivity
The other part of the "S" is the support for the faster 7.2 Mbps 3G standard, which in theory will deliver data faster to your iPhone.

• Three band UMTS/HSDPA.
• Four band GSM/EDGE.
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g.
• Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR

Do you guys realize the data transfer via bluetooth is still not mention in WWDC?
