Massive improvement, apart from the lack of being able to easily write words that aren't already in the iPhone dictionary. That sucks

yep and also people need to realise.

the 4g does not work in the uk for video phoe calls. its not even fully working over in the states yet!

only real difference from teh 3gs and 4g is

smaller
better battery life
hd camera
video calls (which most the world still cant use lol)
front and back is made of a special glass they have produced
the antenna is the actual frame work of the home itself made of special steel.
can put apps into folders
slightly better grpahics card

thats basicly about it!
othing really amazing

only real difference from teh 3gs and 4g is

smaller - I thought it was bigger?
better battery life - OS 4 improves battery on 3Gs
hd camera - wow!
video calls (which most the world still cant use lol) - My 3 phone did that in 1998 and I never use it! front and back is made of a special glass they have produced - wow
the antenna is the actual frame work of the home itself made of special steel. - trick, but for what benefit?
can put apps into folders - OS4 can do
slightly better grpahics card - Is the human eye capable of seeing a discernable difference?

slightly better grpahics card - Is the human eye capable of seeing a discernable difference?[COLOR="rgb(153, 50, 204)"]i didnt think id notice the difference but you actually really can.
Even when you zoom right into a picture it doesnt pixelate at all.[/COLOR]

if people have to buy out a big contract or will be scrounging to pay a hideously massive monthly bill, id say not worth it...but if your due an upgrade and can afford it its deffo worth it.

EDIT: - That came out all wrong but i think you can get the jist =]

yep craig there slightly smaller and thinner. not by much though mate.
they made the frame of it the antenna to save wieght and so they had room for the bigger battery. battery gives 40% more life.

the graphics chip in the phone is smaller and graphics is better....... best way for me to explain this is like carbon fibre lol

old phone 4x4 weave

new phone 2x2 weave

much smaller pixels which create a smoother look. on edges of words,pictures etc etc.

im not craig...but the s in 3gs stands for speed.
so its generally faster...also records video which 3g doesnt.
cant say i know much more than that.

there is more of a change from 3gs to 4 than there is 3g to 3gs.

3gs is slightly quicker also has video camera software standard.

Sophie123 · 24th June 2010, 16:07

Waheeeey!

jakeyboi · 24th June 2010, 16:11

on pay montly i cant seem to find a deal with unlimted free internet, can only find deals with 750mb data.. does anybody know why

Sophie123 · 24th June 2010, 16:13

I heard something about people taking the pee and 'inproper' use of the internet so carriers have all capped it.
at least to begin with.

jonathon5 · 24th June 2010, 16:28

1gb a month at tesco £20 a month unlimited txts

Bodvts · 24th June 2010, 16:29

was in sunday papers saying about not doing unlimited internet on 4 said the contracts wont be as good as 3gs ones. Been trying to get through all day to get code so i can upgrade says can have a 4 for free due upgrade next month i only want a 3gs though on business contract phones are that busy

makaveli144 · 24th June 2010, 16:30

Not a fan of the iPhone. I had a 3g and it was ok but unreliable.I tunes is also a pain in the arse. Apple have managed to create a cult of people who think there products are astounding for random features like a glass front?

The technology is nothing new and there are already phones with faster processors and more ram.

Yeah, but they want £229.00 for the phone!!!

Has anybody found the best place to purchase one of these from? Apart from o2 as i'm not a previous customer...

I don't mind a 24 month contract, but don't want to pay alot if anything for the handset itself.. is this near impossible lol?! Think it might be best for me to settle for the 3GS...

Do the maths ,

Add the phone & the line rental together for the contract duration to get a true cost .

£20 a month + £229 = £469

£35 a month for 24 + £39 = £879

Sophie123 · 24th June 2010, 22:36

Jonathon05 is really pushing the tesco tariff!!

It is a decent one though!

Orange are doing similar deals to o2 so 24mth contracts means very little if any cost for the handset.

Graeme^p · 24th June 2010, 22:44

ill be getting mine when im back from holiday and cant wait
