Todd Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Is it really worth the price difference? Been reading reviews and other than the compass and voice control, well nothing much in it as far as I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Only difference is the Speed of it TBH. Thats it, makes you wonder why they just didnt release the fast one first. O wait!!!! MONEY!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm using the 2g one just now and system wise it's plenty fast. Push email works great and browsing is done via wi-fi, only reason for updating is for the satnav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'm using the 2g one just now and system wise it's plenty fast. Push email works great and browsing is done via wi-fi, only reason for updating is for the satnav. The sat nav is appauling. Even the Tom Tom one is rubbish at the moment. To reroute takes time and if you loose signal (which it does) it takes for ever to refind location. So if you are going somewhere you don't know your fecked. Maybe in future Tom Tom will develop it. But my Tom Tom One is back out and will be until they get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Tomtom on my 3G is awesome and I really enjoy using it. It'll be even better on the 3GS. As for the price difference... if you can afford it, it is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 As for the price difference... if you can afford it, it is worth it. Why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Why? The UI is much faster, which is an improvement I would pay some money for. Video recording is a nice feature that should have been there from the start too. It's mainly the overall processor power that interests me though. I, however, am holding out for the next iPhone next year. I'll get one when that comes out on whichever network suits me best As I do not have much money, the differences in the iPhones are not enough for me to pay premium upgrade price whilst I am still in contract. If it was £50 more, I would sign for another 18 months.... but it isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hmmm. Looks like I may pass on the 3gs, not really offering anything to justify price difference, for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Video recording is a nice feature that should have been there from the start too. I do hope one of the near future updates will activate the video recording on the 3g iPhone, as it's only software after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't happen dude - the issue is a hardware limitation. The 3G can only pull about 15fps due to the processor 3GS for video-shooting fans. I am waiting until the next iteration.

Thorin Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'd wait, I've heard there's a 3GS+ coming out soon. It's slightly shinier and the battery lasts 10 minutes longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
