iPhone 3G vs 3GS+rep

[Blinger1]

Hey everyone, i guess its time for me to jump on the iPhone ship.. I am only doing it because i need to upgrade my cap (to the next one, $49) and the iPhone cap has internet for the same price as the current $49 cap (same features but this one gets internet for free)..

So, is there a big big difference between 3g and 3gs?
I don't think i've ever used the video recorder but i know i will need one when i don't have it. So is there an app that lets you record videos for free?


I know the 3gs does video recording but there are no stocks in melbourne atm for my telco..+rep

Statistially the 3GS is 54% faster than the previous versions,
as not only does I have faster processors and faster RAM,
but a faster internet connection, even with them both runnng 3G Internet, as the 3GS has faster hardware aswell.

The 3GS has
- Video recordering
- Faster Internet and processing speeds
- Internet teathering
- Voice control
- A compass
- Longer battery life

These arnt the greatest reasons to go for a dearer model, as many if these features and fixes will be cnfronted with the 3G in the new sofware updates,

so it's really down to choice over price really
Hope this helps

well, the 3gs (16gb, its all i need, the lowest one rly..) is 5bucks a month extra.. and the 3g (8gb) is free..

is there a video recording device? and what one would YOU go for?

If you jail break a regular 3g then you can get video recording working, however it is really slow

Is it easy to do? I mean, i can get a 3g now but the 3gs might not come for a few weeks :S

3G has internet tethering as well bub.

I have the iPhone 3GS and I really don't think its that great. I like the fact I can upload to youtube and stuff but meh - think if you have a video camera you don't need 3GS.

I would use the video recorder on my phone because i don't have a video camera (only a digital camera that can take videos)...

but still, is there a significant difference between the two apart from the speed and camera? would i be able to notice the speed difference?

To be honest, no.

so i should save the five bucks a month and go for the 3g (8gb) then!

I'd go with the 3gs, it will be much more future proof, especially if the length of the contract is long. http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/17/iphone-3g-s-review/ look on there and watch the speed comparison video, the 3gs is much much quicker in my eyes.
