iPhone 3G vs 3Gs

A internet speed test between the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3Gs.
I was comparing my iPhone 3G vs my iPhone 3Gs which were identical in the software, apps and pages so I was making the best comparison apples to apples, no pun intended.
I cleared both phone's Safari cache, cookies and history so that were were on a level playing field
I updated the iPhone 3G to software version 3.0 recently so it was a fresh install
Since I no longer have services on my iPhone 3G, I couldn't compare 3G Internet surfing speeds, I hooked both of the phones up to the same wireless network and did that test that way.

is internet free in iphone 3G plz comment

[hcireel]

@coolmaster170 Internet is not free on iPhone 3G or any phone for that matter, you have to have ATT service in order to get internet, or if you're at home and you have wireless internet the iPhone can use WiFi to access the internet.

so which one is better?

and isn't jailbreaking illegal, can you get in trouble with apple?

[hcireel]

I personally think the 3GS is better. When you jail break your phone it's violating the EULA so it's technically illegal. I haven't heard anyone getting nailed by Apple, the only thing they can do really is if your phone is still under warranty they can deny your warranty because you violated the EULA.

Okay heres what I plan on doing. Its 2010 and I sold my HTC Hero because I got fed up with Android and HTC's constant delay of Android 2.1 aka Eclair. Now that iPhone 3G's are so cheap I will essentially swap, well the money I got from my HTC is enough to straight get a 2nd hand though good quality 3G if you look in the right places. Then if I feel I really need the 3GS's features or that the 3G is too slow I will sell the 3G and get the 3GS now that they have started coming down in price.

@xabitoo Yeah when side by side it makes the 3G look so poor but in reality 5, 10 or 15 seconds more isn't that noticable, what is noticeable though are the missing features that the 3G doesn't have.

@terorvlad @terorvlad Lol 3Mb? I'm sure you can only view a couple of websites before your allowance is up?

1 has a sim card and the data plan and 1 doesnt.. ofc the 3gs will be faster cuz it has the data plan! the 3g doesnt even have a sim or the data plan it says "searching" ..

[terorvlad]

@coolmaster170 who is so retarded to give something free ? not apple or vodaphone, that's shure

p.s i pay 1$ for 3 MB

=] Great video, I currently have the iPhone 3G (I don't really notice it's slow... but on this Video it does look SL000W)

Do you think it's worth the extra 100€ then to upgrade ??
