If you guys could give me some feedback on the article, since it is my first that has been published, I'd appreciate it alot. Thanks.

Man I loved this, for ages I have been debating weather or not to buy one and this has finally convinced me.

Thanks man.

So let me get this straight...If you were to hook up an iphone to a laptop that's not connected to the internet, you can use that internet tethering thing to connect it to the internet because of the iphone's 3g?

"Last, but definitely not least, we have the Messaging app formerly known as the Text app. Almost every carrier around the world has implemented MMS to the the phones features, so pictures of events or anything to your liking can be sent to friends, family or strangers who happen to be in your phonebook."

So that's saying that the iphone now supports MMS?

 

[eighty4]

Both questions are a yes, but AT&T has stated that MMS wont be available to their customers till "later this summer" while people on an iPhone Family Plan are saying MMS works for them now.

Very nice article. Can't wait for more from you, they're really good reads

Disappointing, you didn't even mention my favourite thing about the 3GS, twice the RAM! Its not just the CPU increase that makes it lag free, RAM helps a lot too. And now you can finally play the Sims 3 without it crashing all the time.

Also the compass isn't entirely useless, it will be very useful when turn-by-turn apps come out

Either way it was a good read

The Compass itself is useless, the technology behind it, is not. And twice the RAM would only take about a second to rad over, but the CPU helps in more areas, so I decided to go with that instead.

BUt thanks for the feedback!

Very nice article. It was very clean and simple.

Very informative and thorough review. I'd get one if other carries offered it. Too bad the iPhone is still restricted to AT&T through normal contracts here.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I have another one in the works, and after going through vigorous editing with ES, I think I have this one down to a core.

Thanks for the nice review... I just wish I could afford an iPhone ... I finally got a Dingoo A320 though which I've been wanting for a while, should be coming in a few weeks .

EDIT: Haha you even used the same heading formatting as me... I was thinking of making the colour less dark but got lazy :S.

Great review Hiratai, made me really consider getting an iPhone. I think i'll go for an iPod touch though

Now I want an iphone. Which is really good timing because I just checked and my T-Mobile contract ended last month (or ends in December depending on how T-Mobile handle their dates).

At&T released it's turn-by-turn Navigator App yesterday. It's free to download, but it adds $10 to your monthly bill to use.

For $120 a year, you can go out and get a Garmin Nuvi from Amazon.
