So, I upgraded my phone from iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS. [S] is for Speed.
I got the 3G about 11 months ago and before that I had an iPod Touch (1st Gen). I’ve been always looking for a phone that can do pretty much everything (with even a chance for improvement - via firmware/apps) ... and i think the iphone is pretty much my Tricorder (from Star Trek if you guys aren’t geeky enough)
I started with Palm Pilots and even tried Pocket PCs. At that time they were great…certainly incomparable, but pretty decent. The first Palms were monochromatic, good for schedules and emails. Then the iPaq Pocket PCs… now with email, video, music, wifi… whoah it’s getting better. ... then we leap into the present and we see the same capabilities but faster, reliable, and flexible.
Well, battery could always be better…nothing is perfect ^^
I did see a lot of my friends now have iPhone ... Apple must be doing something right.
As for my upgrade, I see now that it wasnt quite necessary.. the 3G and 3GS ... looks the same.. but with faster processor, voice control, nike+, improved camera, improved speed, and compass. Anyone with a 3G in my view is still okay. I upgraded since i sold my iphone 3G (16GB) for the same price i bought my iPhone 3GS (32GB). Weird right? The benefit is that, the person who bought it won’t have to sign a 2-year contract.
In the future, i want to see an iphone with better battery, frontal camera for visual conversations, better organization of icons, and probably (here comes wishful thinking) a more affordable monthly plan with more kinks and whistles like tethering, sling-box over 4G, etc. I know i’m asking for so little…. throw me a freakin’ bone here. o.O heheh
