iPhone 3GS Review

Everyone’s seen an iPhone, and most people want one, but can you tell the difference between an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 3GS? The answer is most certainly no; they look identical to each other and are no different to the naked eye. Once you’ve used an iPhone 3GS, however, you’ll realise just how different it is.

It’s been around 6 months since the iPhone 3GS was released and at the time many people thought that it was somewhat of a low-key upgrade from the iPhone 3G, certainly it was more of an evolution than a revolution, especially when you consider what some of the 3rd generation iPhone rumours that had been going around prior to Apple’s announcement in which they introduced us to the iPhone 3GS.

So what can be added to our previous review of the iPhone 3G? Well here’s the key improvements that we’ve come to appreciate in using the iPhone 3GS, especially if you now go back to using an iPhone 3G – these differences are then immediately obvious!

Too Many Mobile Phones To Choose From?

Just recently, after getting fed up of my current contract and lack of network coverage, I decided to change. I spent hours upon hours searching through the many phones on sale these days. I remember last time I upgraded it was an easy process, there weren’t that many top phones around other than specialist handsets such as the Blackberry. But now it seems, it’s a totally different experience altogether.

First you must decide what you need from a mobile phone. Some opt for simplicity; the old fashioned handset which offers not a lot more than phone calls, SMS and a large keypad. These are perfect for business users or those who do not require some of the other complexities built into the top of the range models these days. Or are you the photographer among us? Until suffering some firmware issues the Sony Ericsson Satio was the perfect option featuring a 12.1 megapixel camera and there are some others around which boast similar spec. Perhaps web browsing is your thing, or are you an Android fan?

iPhone 3G & 3GS On Vodafone Mobile Network (UK)

Another day, another iPhone announcement from a mobile network in the UK – you discuss the possibility of the iPhone on other UK mobile networks, then two announcements come along in as many days!

The day after we found out that we’d be getting iPhones on the Orange network in late 2009, we now find out that Vodafone will also have them available on their network after talks were completed and the deal was signed late last night with Apple.

iPhone 3G and 3GS On Orange Mobile Network (UK)

Good news everyone! The iPhone’s exclusivity deal with O2 is over and we’ll be seeing the iPhone available on the Orange network before the end of the year!

Orange have announced that they now have an agreement with Apple to offer the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS to Orange customers later this year in 28 countries and territories. Within the UK they will be sold via all direct Orange channels including Orange shops, the Orange website, and Orange telesales, in addition to other selected high street partners.

iPhone 3G Available On Other UK Networks? (Rumour)

There’s apparently more talk, or shall we say rumours that Apple might be in talks with other mobile phone networks that would see O2 lose their exclusivity deal on the iPhone 3G handset. The UK networks in question could well be Orange and T-Mobile, both of which would no doubt be eager to get the now entry-level iPhone 3G handset available to their customers.

I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there who have ended up on the O2 network simply because they wanted an iPhone and had no choice in the matter – I know I certainly have, before I got my iPhone 3G PAYG, I’d been with Orange for nearly 10 years and for the most part I would have been happy enough to remain with them had they been able to offer me the iPhone at the time, especially since the Orange network signal is better in my local area.
