lot of dead spots on Long Island, I live literally right next to the Roosevelt apple store.

to keep this on topic my dad recieved the 3Gs and I see a minor difference. I say its not worth so I just jail broke my phone so it looks like new :p. IMO not worth it
 
I got my 16gb black last night. Had to wait for a guy to be free and luckily they still saw me even though I'd been waiting so long it was 8pm and time for the apple store to close.

This is my first iPhone and I love it, I've spent all morning playig with it and have barely done any work!

I was most worried about the keyboard but I'm getting on ok with it - I typed this post with it :-D

I ordered it through the Bing site on Tuesday. Order is "in process" at the moment. At least it's not on backorder. I got my Bing Cashback confirmation yesterday that states I can redeem my cash on August 22. I know people who used it when it was called "Live Cashback" and worked fine back then. Great deal imo.
 
I just got a white 16gig 3gs yesterday at the apple store and I love it. I'm comming from a blackberry curve on t-mobile. I have full bars and 3g coverage which is nice. Never had that with tmobile. The phone is fast, apps are awesome, safari is great, love it. Battery has been pretty good not blackberry good but I've been messing around with the settings to find the best gains from it. I'm addicted to this touch screen!!!! :D
 
Just picked up my new iPhone

Just picked up my new iPhone. I held out for a week.. =) I had convinced myself I didn't need to upgrade, my 2G 1st gen iPhone was working fine.

But, I caved and bought one this afternoon.

I'm syncing it now.

I have to agree with everyone else. I'm am stunned at how much faster and smoother this phone is.
 
This is my third iphone. I love everything about it. The 3.0 software is amazing....
Waiting for a cheaper GPS app
 
My 16gb Black Iphone 3G S is still coming in the mail (Yea, not quite sure why I ordered it online but thats ok, I can wait...sort of), but today I got my Switcheasy Rebel - Black in the mail along with a Best Skins Ever for the back and now I am even more excited and cant wait!

I think you'll be waiting a long time. The AT&T app probably will be the cheapest you will find. All others will include downloadable maps and they will be expensive.

Not at all. G-maps is already on the app store. The current version is functional, though a little hoakey how they got around Apples rule on turn by turn. The new version 1.3.1 is going to have voice turn by turn, and was told in an email from them, will be released in the first week of July. There is a youtube video demoing the voice software.

I'm so gonna get that. I used the old version. I loved it. The turn by turn directions were very quite accurate and were very quick at re-routing.....However, its map were lack of street names.
 
So being in Belgium I have a factory unlocked 32GB in black - initially I wanted a white one, but no stock, now I've grown very fond of the black and will stick with it.

I've had three 2G 8GB QuickPwned iPhones in the past, most recent one was sold two weeks ago in anticipation of the 3GS launch.

Of course the interface is broadly the same, but that's where comparisons stop. This 3GS absolutely flies, it's so performant I cannot believe it. The new screen coating is a revelation too, it really does stay clean. Everything is so fast compared to the 2G and webpages in particular load in no time.

I'm totally delighted, really satisfied with this device.
 
Will I have to pay ATT an extra $200!!!

I wanted to buy this phone today, but I don't want to pay an extra $200 just to be able to purchase the 3gs. I have a blackjack2 and it was purhcased may of 2008. Hopefully they will work with me or i'll switch over to verizon in a heartbeat.
 
Yes!! Just got mine, love it already. Dont know where to start lol just checking out everything, the box was WAY smaller than I expected (first time iphone owner). So far it looks like a perfect unit and lets hope it stays that way :D
 
did you guys know that you can no longer get %35 off from bing.com, I just went to bing.com and searched Att wireless and I didnt see the %35 cashback icon...can you guys check this plz
 
i hav a 3g and never thought i would upgrade....HOWEVER my dad needed a new phone soooo i decided well we can use moms eligible upgrade (she has original iphone) and if i pay for the new 3G S⃣ , dad or mom can hav my 3G and ill take the bullet for the most powerful and best iphone yet...lol sarcastic of course,,,, its so much faster and smoother!
i did my own little speed test with an apple store phone and my 3G connected both to 3G and loaded macrumors of course and it was an insane difference and of course the 3G S⃣ kicked ass lol.

sad thing is we still hav to go to AT&T to change the SIMs around and get the right numbers and plans on the right phones but u gotta do what u gotta do..:apple:

EDIT: switched SIMs manually and worked despite apple employee tellin us that the SIMs r iphones specific
 
Just received my white 16gb posting this from it. This is the best phone I've ever bought I can't believe I was missing out all this time.
 
Waited in line 2 hours...

But I finally got my iPhone 16gb in Black. Coming from the 2g iPhone, I love this one. It works great:D
 
received my 3GS yesterday.

worlds better than the 3G in the areas important to me, namely switching between tasks/apps.

the new oleophragamalisticboogawaga glass screen is excellent. quite a noticeable improvement in keeping the screen clear. it almost has a waxed feeling to it (which I should have tried with the 3G just to see lol )

Started with a black 3G8B then went to a 3G16W I went back to black with a 3GS32B and certainly prefer it.

the camera is much improved and that touch focus/meter function is great.
good execution of the video camera, especially with the upload function.
