iPhone 3GS Review

I decided I would record my iPhone 3GS review right from my iPhone 3GS. If you’re going to make a video review of your new phone, I encourage you to try it this way, and link my to your YouTube response! You do know that you can push the video directly to YouTube using the built-in tool from your phone, right?
Bottom line – my verdict about my new iPhone 3GS is “OH YEAH, BABY”. It’s fast – 50% faster than my last model. The camera is much better. There is touch-to-focus built in, to allow you to focus on a particular subject. The iPhone 3GS has twice as much capacity, and twice the amount of memory built in! The amount of usable memory has been increased by about 500%… resulting in far less App crashes.
There is voice control that works right out of the box. I didn’t have to train it first! The battery life has been improved. It’s interesting, because even though the phone is faster – you gained battery life. They throttled back a few things in order to accomplish this, including the video processing. Dude.. I’d rather have had a bit faster processing, and give up battery life. That’s why I carry around an external battery pack! However, I can understand and even agree with Apple’s decision.
For now, my old iPhone 3G is going to a friend to use. This person has been using Windows Mobile phones for years, and has been an advocate. I want them to try out the iPhone, and see what the hype is all about. Apple has exceeded my expectations once again, and I want to share that experience with others. I can’t fathom going back to Windows Mobile, nor can I even fathom going back to the iPhone 3G.

I’m glad that you are praising the new iPhone Chris, because I was quite disappointed with Leo Laporte and other tech gurus who did not praise the 3GS for making video sharing the easiest of its kind.
In my opinion, this is probably the biggest achievement. Maybe I’m tainted by the recent flood of phone videos from Iran…

I’ve been holding out for the new model for years, simply because I wanted 32GB. I figured this much storage would allow me to replace my iPod at the same time and have plenty of room left over for apps. Every time a hardware upgrade came out and there wasn’t a 32GB model, I cursed Apple for making me wait.
Now, I thank them. I have the 32GB I want, and a product so fast and slick that it feels zippy even without having had a slower model to compare it to.
From my experience, battery life is pretty good as long as I’m not using 3G very much. Using 3G, on the other hand, I feel like I can literally see my battery indicator shrinking.
Speaking of battery life, I wonder what kind of external pack you’re using. I’ve looked into the Griffin and Kensington ones, and am currently leaning toward the Griffin as a possible future purchase.
