Anyone who is still waiting to receive their MMS from O2, I phoned them this morning they said there is a back log and that we should have a MMS from them within the next 24hrs starting today.
Found it myself in Andy Ihnatko's review in Chicago Sun-Times (via AppleInsider): "File size of each individual video is capped at 2 gigabytes, which translates to about an hours worth of video per clip. But you can happily fill the iPhone to capacity with multiple clips."Does anyone know if there are any limits to recorded video length, other than free storage? That is, have they hardcoded any limits, such as "videos must be shorter than 10 minutes"? Of course limits apply to MMS/YouTube, but that's not what I'm talking about. (Endadgets recording was about 3.8 Mbit/s, which means a bit over 30 minutes per GB. It'd be awesome if it could do that continuously.)
The BBC chimes in with a video of iPhone 3G S versus Nokia N97

Quite serious. LMAO. But don't take my word for it.
You are ignoring the bump in storage. For me personally that alone is reason enough to upgrade. Everything else is gravy. At 16G I have to be very choosy about which apps to keep loaded and what music I really need. At 32G, the choices become much easier.
Yep. Two-three times as fast, advanced camera, video recording, voice control, twice the capacity, oleophobic screen, twice the RAM, Nike+, magnetometer...Really? Edge to 3G. GPS. A new look....
I agree. The Edge->3G upgrade was nice but hardly revolutionary, same for GPS. The CPU/Memory upgrade on the 3GS is the biggest feature I'm looking forward to. The first & second gen iPhones can be very laggy, especially when it knows you're in a hurryYep. Two-three times as fast, advanced camera, video recording, voice control, twice the capacity, oleophobic screen, twice the RAM, Nike+, magnetometer...
I could go on. In everything but software, this destroys the last gen update.
I'll be getting that one too after using the 3G S for a year.
Quite serious. LMAO. But don't take my word for it.
Your ignorance on this topic doesn't make my statements incorrect.Handheld GPS systems that are used off road i.e. on mountain trails are always displayed in Up = North mode. And all military GPS systems operate in Up = North mode. All Aviation GPS systems display in North = Up mode. All Nautical GPS systems display in North = Up mode. Just FYI.
In those kinds of more serious GPS applications, that you really need to know your track in relation to objects (like land, reefs, etc) that will ruin your day.. The last time I checked the earth doesn't rotate when you change direction.
With North up, you can take a quick glance and know if you are still heading in the overall right direction in relation to your destination. The map constantly rotating makes it more difficult.
I just love it when the guy I work with (who insists on direction up) makes a wrong turn, is driving in a circle on an exit loop and asks which way to go while the map is spinning in circles.. If it were locked in North up, would be no problem to quickly see which way to head.
The aviation industry, coast guard, army, etc. have all performed extensive usability tests and come to this same conclusion - hence the reason all of their systems operate this way. Those are the serious GPS users. Not my "perception" as you say.
Is that so? Did you attend public school, or private school there son? I'm just curious which system it was that failed you so miserably.![]()
I can't see it because I'm on my iPhone.![]()

The extra RAM is probably the best reason to upgrade, unfortunately aside from games like The Sims it'd actually be most beneficial on jailbroken phones (imagine being able to use Winterboard without lag or never have a backgrounded app crash?) and who knows when that'll be possible. It took the 2G Touch six months after all.
Someone's trying to justify their lack of the new phone.This post says fanboy all over it. 2-3X fast? No, this has already been clearly debunked in the numerous reviews. You do know what 2-3X means, right? It definitely is faster though. Advanced camera? Yes, definitely. Video? OK, but it's really not that high of quality. Twice the capacity? Only for people who choose this option, but good nonetheless. Oleophobic screen? You're stretching it. Nike+ and magnetometer? You're stretching it even more. RAM? The utility of more RAM is not the RAM itself, but the speed it offers, which you already mentioned and is simply not true.
