Posted by iPhone 3G S features video recording, MMS, Voice Control, up to 32GB of storage, compass, 3Mp camera and more. There’s no big visual difference between the 3G and 3GS model.

- Improved performance
- 3-megapixel autofocus camera
- Video recording *
- Voice Control
- Digital compass

- MMS *
- Spotlight Search *
- Landscape keyboard *
- Voice Memos *
- Oleophobic Screen coating (Fingerprint oil resistant coating)
* Marked with a * are the features which are available or can be attained in iphone 3G.
The prices are $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB version iphone 3G will now be $99 for the old 8GB version.
The new iphone 3Gs still comes in the same colors as the iphone 3G (black and white)
The first thing you’ll notice about iPhone 3G S is how quickly you can launch applications. Web pages render in a fraction of the time, and you can view email attachments faster. Improved performance and updated 3D graphics deliver an incredible gaming experience, too. In fact, everything you do on iPhone 3G S is up to 2x faster and more responsive than iPhone 3G.
Now you can shoot video, edit it, and share it – all on your iPhone 3G S. Shoot high-quality VGA video in portrait or landscape. Trim your footage by adjusting start and end points. Then share your video in an email, post it to your MobileMe gallery, publish it on YouTube, or sync it back to your Mac or PC using iTunes.
3-Megapixel Camera
The new 3-megapixel camera takes great still photos, too, thanks to built-in autofocus and a handy new feature that lets you tap the display to focus on anything (or anyone) you want.
Voice Control recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.

very nice phone
I can’t believe it…
The new iPhone will have something that other phones have for years…
MMS? Voice memo? 3MP camera (still no flash)?
God, I really don’t understand who buys iPhones?
Blackberry and Nokia have a better feature set. Only fools buy iPhones today.
The Iphone is the very best phone out there and anyone that says it is not well they just dont have money to buy it. And the new one is even better and faster just think you can search for movies gas and the very best gps in a phone buy one and you will have all your friends so jealous I promise.
There is no mms or tethering at this time. Att does not support, but will offer it this summer. Insiders sources state that att will offer it at a additional cost. I’m going to wait till all this play outs.
The Iphone has changed my life and how I conduct business! Thanks apple you have gained another loyal customer. Now I have my sights on a Macbook.
i agree that people who badmouth iphone just have never owned one.
the appstore by itself…….by itself…..makes iphone the best phone available. everything else is just extra.
Well I’ve had an iphone…and an itouch…and I got rid of both of them the 1st chance I got! It’s a great “toy” compared to a full-featured Nokia or Windows Mobile business phone. I have a “regular” phone now with bluetooth and a $15/month data plan…and I tether a Nokia n810 tablet to it when I need actual internet access on the road and don’t want to use my laptop. My phone is a phone…it’s small…it doesn’t drop calls…I don’t have to worry about plugging it in everyday…and I don’t need to watch it like a hawk at the gym or when I take my jacket off at a restaurant. The n810 has a full feature set including flash player…yet still fits in a pocket.
IF Apple had something to sell other than the ITunes AND and a phone with a feature set that wasn’t 2 years behind the times AND they were available on Verizon…I might consider one again. But it’s 2009 and they just now incorporated cut/paste into their gui? Really!

You have not had an Iphone….there is no comparing the Iphone to anything else. I canceled Verizon so that I could get the Iphone…why don’t you pick one up and look at it…or do you work for Mr. Gates?
hi, my husband raul just bought the iphone 3g 2 months ago now he wants to buy the new iphone he say it’s the bomb so everyone should have one
I just bought an iPhone about a week ago. Yes, all the features are great. In fact, everything it offers is awesome, but it’s going back. Battery life is absolutely horrible. HORRIBLE! I thought about the 3G S but that is only offering 3 hours more battery life than the 3G. What’s the use of all these features if you can’t use them because the battery life wont let you?
