As the name implies, this is a souped-up iPhone 3G, rather than a new generation of Apple's handset. It's more powerful, has a better camera and the ability to shoot video, and supports faster HSDPA data speeds. It's now available in a choice of 16GB o...
Bottom line The iPhone 3GS is certainly a step on from the iPhone 3G. Everything is faster, the camera is significantly improved, and the video shooting is very well done. If you want an iPhone and aren't encumbered by a long existing O2 contract, it's the one to...

Good Speedy performance; better 3D game handling; camera takes good videos; accurate voice control.

Bottom line For all intents and purposes the iPhone 3GS serves as a worthy update to the iPhone 3G. Speaking from first-hand experience, once you get used to the generally speediness of the phone, it’s hard to go back to any other device that performs slower. I...
