cvxfreak said:I finally managed to play around with the iPhone 3GS at the Shibuya Apple Store, and I was marginally impressed. I turned off Wi-Fi and played around with the web browser, and it does load pages faster than the 3G, but from what I could gather, this is tied to the browser's ability to load super-quickly rather than the network itself (since I don't think Softbank improved their network for the 3GS).
Otherwise, for sites that required loading, it seemed about the same as the 3G, or not considerably faster. But I liked the lighter weight of the phone and the snappiness of all the apps. Feels like a bigger jump from the previous generation than the 3G was. Still, for the moment, my 3G works perfectly and has also gotten considerably faster with the 3.0 update.
I can't wait to see what updates Apple brings about next year. Unless I lose or break my 3G, I'm probably going to skip the 3GS. I can already taste that 64GB next-gen iPhone.
I thought the 3GS was actually heavier than the 3G, or I could be wrong.
