Travel Technology - iPhone 3GS Vs Rest of the devices !!

Many users are writing about iPhone 3G S performance and its features, many reviews are against iPhone 3G S on top blogs but still it the most talkative device on blogs and forums now a days. See some top blogs user reviews:

@ TechCrunch
1. Very disappointed with the AT&T upgrade pricing for existing iPhone 3G customers. That’s hardly the way to treat customers who are willing to renew their service contracts to get the latest hardware. I will gladly cancel my AT&T contract for a Verizon iPhone 3GS.

2. This is total buzz kill. The “new” iPhone 3Gs looks pretty ordinary. Where is OLED screen? I would like to stay with my 3G until the next upgrade and the big fuzz is to get hold of my fav apps, i,e Guitar hero3, Vopium (http://vopium.com) and light speed.

@ Tuaw
1. The difference between this year and last is that the original iPhones were not subsidized by AT&T. That's why they were $499/$599 out the door and eligibility didn't have to be determined prior to purchase. AT&T was getting you for 2 years, but with a residual revenue sharing agreement with Apple instead of an initial subsidy on the handset. It was a no-brainer to allow upgrades because they were getting you for an extra year in many cases.

2. Nope--voice commands, compass, video recording/editing, auto-focus are exclusive to 3GS.

Someone must like them since a million were sold in the first weekend....

... but still it the most talkative device on blogs and forums now a days.

On that single point, here's a good, short read. The Iphone 3GS is perfect - It can do no wrong apparently (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/opinion/1356991/the-iphone-3gs-perfect). The last few paragraphs are insightful.

Sums up my thinking EXACTLY.

I think the rumour (take it for what it is worth) was that 65% of phones sold in that first weekend were upgrades. Nice that only 35% were new ADs to ATT and new phones for legacy customers, but it shows tht 65% wanted the new phone.

I waited out the 3g, and moved to the 3gs when it came out. Got the upgrade pricing and was able to keep my legacy calling plans, about a 35$ discount to current. For me, it was worth it, and I think I will like the better camera, and the video.

And damb is it fast!

The iPhone 3GS is the best. Other devices may be better in one specific spec or function, but overall are crap in comparison.

I paid ~$650 (w/tax) for the first one, ~$332 for the second, and ~$530 for the 3GS and think it's totally worth it. There is no way I'm waiting until the contract expires so I can save a measly $200 and deny myself the best hardware. You really have to try it to know.

How come your 3GS was so expensive, Tummy?

-David

With AT&T deal it cost around the same which Tummy has quoted ...

iPhone 3G S rocks! It is blazing fast!
