8 features iPhone 3GS has that iPhone 3G doesn't.

9) Bigger hard drive.
10) Super sweet more visible iPhone logo on the back (main selling point for me)

To get technical, it's not a HDD, it's actually an SSD. 😀

Also, we're talking 3G to 3Gs. They look identical from the outside. 😀

EDITED for typo

This thread is like an article in USA Today that comes out as "news" months after the fact. And has errors.

What's the point of this thread again?

Good list. But re-affirms my choice in NOT upgrading. I see things on there that are nice, but none are worth upgrading for.

That was my first reaction when I first learnt about all the new 3GS features. It all changed once I played with a 3GS at the Apple Store. The performance improvement was night and day... that alone is worth upgrading for (IMO).

To get accurately technical, it is an SSD (solid state drive). 😀

The logo on the 3GS is a lot shinier than that of the 3G - not really identical there. 😀

Number 4 is slightly misleading. What the 3GS has that the previous models don't is a magnetometer. Apple has provided the compass application which uses that sensor but for most people it will be completely redundant.

Has it been mentioned here that you can double-tap the "current location" icon on Google Maps to flip the map to match the direction pointed in by the Compass app?

Why? so you can open your "fart apps" 2 secs faster ? 🙄

Haha, yea typo. 😛

Really? Damn. I haven't actually seen a 3Gs in person. I never knew that one.

You apparently haven't tried a 3GS. 😀

That may be a good thing. I never thought I'd buy a 3GS until I played with one myself. Like they say, ignorance is bliss. 😉
