Photos obviously not taken by an iPhone camera

The screen on the new 3G S is definitely brighter, more colorful, but also more glossy and has a rainbow-like reflection. Also, the vibrate is quieter and doesn't feel as noticeable in your pocket.

Very nice picture comparison!
(No matter; still keeping mine with crappy static film overlay.)

Hey upgraders, quick question.

I have the first gen launch iPhone, and im upgrading today to the 3GS.

My question is what happened to your old phone? Will the phone be functional, just not be able to get service, or does it lock requiring service to work? Basically, does it turn into an iPod Touch or an iBrick.

It effectively becomes an iPod Touch (unless you put a PAYG or other compatible contract SIM in it). The only thing to note is that you still need to put the SIM in to re-activate the old iPhone after a software update.
 
Here's some more pictures but this time they are of the back. Notice the difference between the gray letters on the 3G and the chrome one the 3G S. Also, when holding the phones side-by-side in your hand, it seems like the back of the new 3G S isn't as deep of a black. It might just be in my head though. I tried to get a photo of it but it's very hard to capture. Also note that I shot the last two pictures at different exposures, the 3G S at 1/4 and 3G at 1/2.

Again, larger images here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/3518691...7619871593845/

I like the smaller charger compared to the 3G one. But i dont like the fact that it doesnt come with a cleaning cloth like the 3G did.
 
If I wanted to see pictures of a 3G S I can just look at my 3G. Pointless thread.
