wow great video. I was thinking about getting a iphone. either the 3gs or iphone 3g because of the prices and was doing my research to see if the iphone 3gs is actually faster and worth getting. AND....... thanks to your video, i think i have made my choice. I subscribed and rated 5 stars, thanks
I agree but Im a little worried that if I buy the 3g at x-mas that sometime next year developers start to make apps that require the iTouch 2g or iPhone 3Gs. Since the itouch 2g has 100mhz more processorpower and the 3gs has even more :(
snjbjak yer dum i arge with u on some things but this one thing i do not apple has not and will not invest in oled its only really been invested into by sony and a little by samsung it taks at lest 3 years to deveolp a protop or a divice with a oled screen. it will take even longer to put it inoto a touch screen
I swear apple just like laughing at its customers, making us think we have the old crappy one, anyway im gonna wait for the next iphone it should oled display and an even better camera with a more powerful camera

wow the 3gs is way better. but im going to wait until next june/july to get the next iphone because my contract for my phone runs out around April and i will wait.
oh really? so explain me why apple can't wait two years before throwing out a new mobile which is basically the same just a bit faster? This way they force all the iphone lovers to buy a new one every fuckin year and mate, thats pricy.
If they had some proper innovations I wouldnt complain. but this is, in my eyes, a shameless rip-off.
I never had the intention to buy it anyway. no, they aren't forcing anybody, but they do have an dickhead marketing strategy. they make the 3G look old although it isnt. even the first iphone isnt. they want you to think that you need the new one. and all the apple fanboys and all other idiots who think THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED IT are victims. instead of waiting another year, they want it now. btw the iphone 3gs has material costs of 178.96$. think about it.
I mentioned the material costs because they have ridiculous mark-ups. they don't do this with their phones - look at all macs. I mean, seriously the value for money ratio is a shame. but I also want to say, that their products work well. but I guess you get my point.
and there are a lot of people out there who think that they absolutely need it. trust me I know one of them.
but at the end of the day everybody has to dicide if they want to spend to much money or not.
if they do have a dickhead of a marketing strategy, why are they doing so well with the iPhone? as you have said, they want to make you think that you need a new one and as Apple is a company that makes money, I don't see why that's not the point.
There is a lot of debate about the percentage icon.
3G S, you can activate it on 3.0 easily in a slider
Settings>General>Usage
iPhone 3G with 3.0 BY DEFAULT; as in, clean install from an unjailbroken firmware...will not display it.
If you had a jailbroken device and only updated to 3.0; there have been reports of that aspect carrying through to the 3.0 update. In the BETA versions of 3.0 the option was there; and it is accessible via jailbreak/file changes for 3G.
What I find hilarious is this die hard group of people that are hell bent on convincing people that the 3GS is not a faster phone. People crying foul saying their 3G is mystical and can perform 20 times better then the 3GS. Sorry but there's proof in all these videos and in the specs. The 3GS renders, loads and performs at least twice as fast as the 3G, so please stop with the whining!
dammit apple, you are not helping US wallets! :P Apple knows that people are going to buy the new iphone so lowering the price on the original is good but not amazing or anything
Great video. How did you upgrade to the 3G S? Did you pay the full price or were you due for an upgrade? Because I really want a 3G S, I just don't have $500 to spend (I'm not upgrade eligible until March 2010.)
It comes as a feature on the 3GS, if you want it on the 1st gen, and regular 3G, you gona want to install SBSETTINGS from Cydia, your gona notice its not an Icon, you swipe the top of the phone and it will open another screen, hit extras, hit battery %, and there you go. quiete simple. hope that helps.
damn i find my self answering so many Iphone questions, i just srat making videos.lol nah playing that aint for me but ayways. peace homie
The diffrence is just symbolical in both cases. I still think that iPhone is the next generation gaming device, and the few seconds slower between the version matters squat
pretty good vid... iphone 3GS is clearly faster. you should do a video on the graphics for the iphone 3GS and the games that were specially made for it
Neither could I. But as soon as I did buy it and take the plunge, I am very happy I did. It is a lot nicer, lighter, stays cooler, and is a lot faster. It is definately worth the upgrade...
Nice video soldier! As for the performance, I don't think it's worth to upgrade for me at least cause I'm cool with waiting few seconds for and having slightly less graphics. I'm waiting for the next big thing in the iPhone world to upgrade from my 1st gen iPhone.
hey soldier.... were you on an airplane when you taped this... there are little airplanes on top of the iPhones and i think that means airplane mode... i am not sure... i don't have an iPhone yet
