If you're already in love with your iPhone and you have a few hundred bucks to spend, the Apple iPhone 3GS is a no-brainer. The performance gains are huge, especially in complicated apps like games and the Web browser. The iPhone was already a leader in multimedia features and Web browsing, and the library of apps was the most diverse and impressive among all the major smartphone systems, so it's nice that the new performance boost only made all of this good stuff even better. If you were on the fence before, though, the new features might not be enough to push you over the edge. Only a user who had been suffering with the iPhone will appreciate the video recording and voice dialing apps, as these are present on most other smartphones, and many other simpler devices. With the Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple seems to be shoring up its borders, and not branching out into new spaces. Popular business features like e-mail and productivity apps have been left behind, or left to third parties, while there seems to be no relief in sight for users who want more buttons or, gasp, an actual keyboard. Still, there's no denying the appeal of the iPhone, and if you thought the older model was the best, with the Apple iPhone 3GS, the best just got even better.

Adding an "S" to the end of the iPhone 3G may have given us one of the worst mobile phone names next to the LG Cookie, but there's no denying the extra speed in executing applications. Though, that's the weird part, as all of the speed seems to be in the execution; once you're in an app the old iPhone 3G works just fine. The difference in the time it takes to execute varies quite a bit. Built-in apps, like contacts and the iPod are only a few seconds faster at most, where a four- or five-second load time becomes two or three seconds. In third-party apps, especially games, this time can be more significant, a 15-second load may drop down to five or six seconds.

The main differences between the new Apple iPhone 3G from the previous model is to support third generation cellular networks of three bands: 850/1900/2100 MHz, built-in hardware GPS-receiver and increased battery capacity. Support for high-speed HSDPA protocol further extends the functionality of Apple iPhone 3G. GPS-module of the phone uses A-GPS (Assisted GPS). Large touch screen with Multi-Touch technology allows you to manage this miracle of technology using only your fingers. Multi-Touch - is a convenient screen and keyboard, and the ability to scroll through photos and web pages and documents, and increase or decrease in size. Also, Apple iPhone 3G has an accelerometer. Thanks to this device iPhone is able to capture motion and can, for example, is to change the screen orientation from vertical to horizontal. Or you can use the accelerometer to control games.

Speed, style, strength - all this is behind the small letter S made in the name. "S" - short for "speed" - the speed, and this word is applied to justify a new phone by 100%.
