The S is for Speed. More to come.
EDIT: Same design as the iPhone 3G...like, exactly the same. Glossy back, no front-facing camera. The big deal is the 2-3x faster processor. Who'da thunk. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

3 MP camera though, with autofocus. So at least there's that.
Am I the only one who thinks that "iPhone 3G S" is the least Apple-y name ever? Haha, if they keep the 8 gig around for $99, they can even re-use last year's "twice as fast, half the price" line. and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Voice Control is here too, apparently. But the excecution is strange: hold down the Home Button? Isn't that force-quit? Seems like it'll be from the Home Screen only; hopefully this isn't 3GS-only.

Improved battery life. Now up to 9 hours of internet surfing, 10 hours of video
i think the pre iPhone killer status just blew up g Ships with iPhone OS 3.0 for $199. $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB. The existing 8GB iPhone 3G will remain -- for $99. everybody should have an iPhone crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

Why are they making voice control a part of the new phone instead of a feature of the new OS?

Looks like I can finally buy an iPhone. I've been holding off since February for this update.

Wow, I nailed the iPhone predictions.
The 3Gs is impressive, but I'm hanging on to my 3G for now. |

Or they're crippling the OS to sell 3GS's. It's not like they haven't shown that mentality before... *cough MMS and A2DP on EDGE iPhones cough*

I really want this. like really want.
But, I don't think I could get enough for my 3G to warrant buying this one. I guess I'm waiting until next year. No more Twitter. It's Mastodon now. |

i'd almost expect a hookup of sorts for us loyal customers (aka occasional lemmings) to pluck the new 3GS without having to pay full rate. looks like the 3G data plan is down $5 too (from $35 to $30, unless i'm new to spotting this).
thoughts? i still have the 2G phone here too, plus the white 3G, and no way will i sell both just for the sake of paying full boat, but still, i should offload these things... |

my plan is 20 bucks for unlimited data and 200 text messages...
going to 30 bucks plus 5 more for text is kinda sucky... i guess edge network is cheaper than 3g... g crazy is not a rare human condition everything is food if you chew hard enough |

Looks like I finally get to upgrade my EDGE phone on 6/19. The missus now (finally) wants an iPhone so I'll get her one as well.
I do want one of the new MacBooks though. Not good to know I could drive 15 minutes and they could be still in stock though. |

If you're eligible for an upgrade, I'd imagine it'd be cheaper. $500-700 is the "full price" of the phone (though a contract is still required). and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

- New customers with a new two year agreement - Existing customers who are eligible for a hand set upgrade (usually 18 months) can do so with a $18 upgrade fee (if not migrating already from an iPhone) with the signing of a new 2 year agreement The $499, $599, and $699 prices are likely for those that: - Are not eligible for an upgrade (less than 18 months into current contract) which will kick into a new 2 year agreement.

It's funny...I am a sucker for upgrades, and will sometimes pay good money if I feel the upgrade is a game changer...and I don't see it with this current model. I am happy with my 3G.
You know what would have made me purchase the new one despite the status of my contract? A keypad. I am very used to the touchscreen, but it has some serious limitations. there is a market for this, and I am surprised they haven't addressed this. Even video games would be easier if my finger wasn't in the way of the screen. |
