I still have the old, aluminum one. The differences are negligible for me (mms, gps, 3G, video – I don't need them) and don't justify the price.
The plastic back on the new ones looks so cheap and prone to scratches that a 3rd party case is a must.The old one is easier to jailbreak too. Jailbreaking gives me:
— iFile (an advanced file browser/editor and multi-format video viewer);
— Text message receipts (hard to believe, iPhone doesn't have them);
— SMS counter (counts text message characters, good for keeping it short when abroad);
— Backgrounder (lets you run apps in background, parallel with each other).

only issue ive had is when I have a password on my wifi I can't get remote to connect to my computer. But when I take the password off they connect beautifully...

I have one. Love it. Don't see how there could be anything better. The ability to take VIDEO through your phone and post it directly online or send it to another person with an iphone using MMS is great. The browser is actually usable (with the exception of not haviung Flash). And the touch and slide UI, on screen keyboard, etc etc all are very easy to use.

I'm trying to connect my iphone 3GS to my Belkin G+ Router wirelessly.
I enter the correct password into my iphone and I get the 3 bars indicating connection, yet I log on to Safari and it greys out saying connecting and eventually times out! I've tried forgetting the network and turning 3G off on my iphone but nothings working, any help?

its brilliant.
I have a bberry and an iphone, and the iphoneworks sooooo well. As a phone it drops out now and again, but as an integrated device it works. bbc iplayer works on it, read all my newspapers on it, itunes etc etc etc
supreme, and anyone who doesnt think so is a dick or a pc user which accounts to about the same thing.

I must admit I never have any of the 'no network' problem at all. I wasn't fussed about getting one but now I do, I can't imagine using any other phone.

currently negotiating with my current provider to get the hell out so that I can get one....

once you jailbreak it, you've got yourself a whole new device, far superior to basically anything else

QUESTION
I got mine a week ago and it works great. Only problem is...
My girlfriend lives somewhere where there is literally NO reception. She's got a wireless router and I've hooked my macbook up to it and it works perfectly, but when I hook my iphone up to the wireless network it says I've got wireless connection but the internet page just greys over and says connecting the whole time. I had an itouch that worked fine, but my iphone won't. Any help anyone?

It is the best, and most complete system out there. The Palm Pre is a joke, hideously underpowered. I've not seen the droid.
Not perfect but what it does, it does well. What it doesn't do I don't miss. The only downside for me is that the latest version of the OS has poorish battery life (2.5 days) on my 3G

Well just got mine the other day, so just had it over the weekend. It's impressive to say the least and apple deliver once again.
The exclusivity to 02, has now come to an end here in UK, and is now available to Orange customers and Vodaphone will be getting it in Spring 2010, so I'm sure the same will apply to Ireland soon, so worth checking out. This will mean they will be much better deals to be had, as they will all be competing for business now.
But if you are on the move a lot and can afford the extra. It is worth it for sure.

You are not allowed to buy one until you write a poem that changes the world.

get one. its not the greatest thing in the world, but it is the better than any other phone... i love it.
ive used the droid. usability is clunky and sub-standard, handset is ugly and bulky, software is powerful but more/better apps available on iphone.
service on iphone is more to do with your carrier. in australia, anyway.

theyre great but fatally flawed. the ui and app market is amazing, but for some really basic functionality its just not there.
im waiting for the xperia x10 or htc hd2 to come out
- What basic functionality is not there?, enlighten uscomicsans
