Title: Iphone 3G or Iphone 3G-S?
Post by: Scottish Dave on January 17, 2010, 05:25:48 PM
Got a deal from my work where i get 30% off my tarrif if i sign up to o2, so going in tomorrow to get an Iphone

Been looking at the deals online and notice that the tarrif's for the 3G and the 3G-S are the same except the 3G is free and the 3G-S is £100 up front.

Obviously the 3G-S is better, but how much better and will i really be disappointed with just the 3G? as i don't fancy paying £100 up front.

Never had an Iphone before, so what should i do:

3G (8GB) for free or 3G-S (16GB) for £100 up front?

I've never had a 3G but from what I hear the 3GS is a notable improvement. Everything on my 3GS is really fast and slick. I think it'd spoil the experience a lot if this wasn't the case. And £100 up front isn't all that much when you add up the total cost of the contract. 3GS I reckon.

checking online they do say that the 3G-S is a lot faster and has loads of little things that make a difference, I was just thinking if i never had an Iphone before, i wouldn't really notice the difference, as i have nothing to compare it too.

Fekk it, if im getting one i may as well go for it!

Iphone 3G-S it is then.

Thanks guys.

Little things like copy and pasting...i dont think that was available on the 3G but makes a hell of a difference!

Its like buying a car and not getting he extras on it i guess! At the time u think ahhh i wont need the aircon but when ur roasting ur tits off in the summer u will wish u had payed that bit extra for the upgrade!!

Why did you get rid of your blackberry. I ask because a T-mobile employee has said I can get contract from them for half price via their friends and family deal.

I had a 3g and now have a 3gs and the improvement isnt a great deal.  3gs is certainly a bit faster for loading websites etc.  Pretty sure the 3.0 software had c+p support for the 3g too?

Can you not just run the latest firmware on the old 3G model?
