iPhone 3GS 16GB Black (Back)

iPhone 3GS 16GB Black (Back) by William Hook.
My new iPhone 3GS which I picked up from the Apple Store in Birmingham yesterday. It's shiny, and very fast too. It's also a massive fingerprint magnet. I posted a sortof review type blog post thingy here: here.

Also, these aren't the best photos, so if you want to see some better shots, look here. That's the older iPhone 3G, however both the 3G and 3GS are identical on the outside which are almost identical, other then the text - the 3GS has chrome lettering, and the 3G does not.

They're not entirely identical externally; the 3GS has chrome lettering on the back, something the 3G did not have.

I'm going to be getting one of these in probably another month or so. Can't wait. I've a big Apple supporter as it is and this looks intriguing.

Nice shot.

hey, up her ein canada, the iphone 3g older one, 16gb is 249.99 and the 3gs is 299.99. should i fork over 50 dollars more for the 3gs? will it worththe few extra features? im not a heavy user of the iphone (i kno that from experience with the ipod touch and my celulr usage) and yeah. actually, i already got the 3g a few days ago, and im happy with it right now but rogers told me that i can return it within 30 days and upgrade to the 3gs if i wnted to. should i stick with what i have or fork oer 50 bucks for the 3gs?

Honestly? It's worth it. The two main factors are are you going to take photos and videos often, and do you play games on the iPhone? If so, I'd say it's worth the extra $50, yes. :-)

i do download a few games...their a good to pass the time when waiting for something...like my pizza!! lol but like i said not a heavy user.

rogers is out of stock of the damn phone anyway ll oli dunno when they will get more.

i can take photos on the 3g too :pp

nothing beats an actual digital camera but having a decent camera with you is nice when a real camera isnt around llol

black or white? i chose white for my 3g right nw, cause first black everyone has and white, id wanted to try somthing different lol. white isnt as "glossy" as ur black one in ur pic. but hey i still have the packaging on it until i can order that "invisiable shield" for it.

does the back scratch easily? i know the ipods did with their chromd back buti would think plastic would be more resistant.

Well, honestly, you would be okay with just the 3G iPhone. But if you can, try them both out, play around, and you might end up getting the 3GS.

Also, I'd go for a black one. The white 3GS seems to have some issues (see here: www.google.co.uk/search?q=iPhone+3GS+White+Di scoloration ). But the black, so far, has nothing like that. And they'll both scratch if you use them lots, but I've not had any problems yet. :P

I upgraded from the 2G. I've never owned a 3G one. ;)

Also, yeah, I should get the shield soon, and I've been meaning to, but I keep putting it off. I will, eventually. =p
