This 35C limit is hilarious, can't wait to see when they launch in other countries in August


The 35C limit is nothing new though. I was curious about this when they claimed to have only updated that support note to include the 3GS as well as the 3G, so I had a look back through the internet archive. Check the operating temperatures and "non-operating temperatures" of the original iPhone on this page from August 2007 - http://web.archive.org/web/20[....]e.com/specs/iphone/iPhone.html - exactly the same as the figures in that support document that everyone's making a big deal of now.

I'm not denying there might be an issue with the 3GS - my own 3G seems to get a bit warmer since the 3.0 upgrade - but it's fact that officially nothing has changed, and the 35C limit is not news.

and now for something completely different...

Apple's iPhone 3GS gets two more handheld video mounts (Engadget)

Look, it's not like Apple's iPhone 3GS is really equipped with the necessary hardware to shoot your next feature film, but given the high-profile nature of the device, it's no surprise to see a veritable cornucopia of video mounts making their way onto the scene. Just weeks after a completely over-the-top shoulder mount emerged, we've now got a pair of handheld grips ready for the amateur crowd...

Jailbreak & Unlock officially released by the Dev-Team

Edit: Can't see the blog from work, presumed it would be updated but unsure whether it has been. Anyway, redsn0w 0.8 supports the 3GS jailbreak (download the official torrent from HERE) and also sorts out the Push problems with hactivated devices.

Ultrasn0w in Cydia has been updated to support 3GS unlocking.

hopefully the 3GS can take the same punishment!

So Apple finally release a Phone in 2009 that has features that were present in 2006, and in all honesty should have been found on the very first IPhone release, and fans start drooling and getting wet with excitement =D.

Nothing new. It still wont appeal to most people who arent either American, living in London, have a super high income and are able to afford a second or third 'shiny new toy' on top of their current Nokia, SE, HTC or Blackberry handset.

Had mine since release day. Not one single crash, never had to restart, no hanging. very impressed. bets phone ive owned i would say.

Even i think that's a little harsh
The iphone, in it's latest incarnation, has now evolved in to something i can quite happily use, and recommend to others

Posted by Bhavv
It is an ok specified phone now, but still out of date and underspecified. By now we should have had an I Phone HD, or at least 5 MP and a wider resolution. VGA resolution is so 3-4 years ago =D. My next phone will have to be a HD quality one, this third gen I Phone would still be a downgrade for me.

They are always far below average spec for the amount of money they ask for it.

Nvidia tegra smartphones or Snapdragon ones will be stomping all over this one soon, as well as Samsungs current offerings and will probably still be cheaper with HD features.

Nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing innovative, its just that Apple have finally caught up to the level that the I Phone 1.0 should have been at several years ago.

@Bhavv = Yawn. Months pass and you still can't change the record. If you can't post anything positive or more to the point DIFFERENT in iPhone discussions, then move along and post in another thread for a phone you actually OWN!

Posted by Nanu
@Bhavv when you think about it....................

Apple could have added a 3MP cam, MMS, BT, cut & paste etc etc to the very first iPhone but they didn't they though hmmmm lets sell a few units without, so they did next release they add a few more features, whilst nothing new to the mobile world they were to the iPhone 3G so they sell a few more units, etc etc etc etc see what Apple have done is sold numerous units to numerous people without first showing their full deck of cards, IMO this has made for an excellent Business plan as they will have made a few $ out of it. The Apple name & reputation has allowed them to carry this off and good luck to them!

NEWSFLASH - several months pass, and Bhavv still doesn't get it. More on this later.

LOL @Boinng

Are there any good camera apps out there? The standard camera seems pretty damn basic!?

Posted by RyaN
A better question would be are there any camera apps out there! Well, I know there is one - Camera Zoom. You can guess what it does It's a pretty simplistic app tbh, but only 59p iirc. Snapture is another one, which allows you to change a few options like sepia/negative and all that jazz, but I'm afraid that's a JB app. Probably isn't geared towards the touch focus on the 3GS either

Posted by KaMeL
Iphone has a very btf ui transition but it have poor quality in camera

There's things like "Camera Bag" which allow you take pictures in the style of various old cameras, "Night Camera" uses the accelerometer to wait until your hand is steady before taking a picture in the dark, there are various others that do similar things. Of course they're all limited by the camera itself, which is fairly basic on the 3G and only a little better on the 3GS - depends what you're after really. A lot of stuff is still being updated for the 3GS at the moment, but those updates should be free when they arrive.

If you're looking for a good photo manipulation tool, try "Photoforge" - currently just 59p in the appstore - it's not exactly Photoshop, but gets close.

Just thought I would addd my opinion to this discussion... take it or leave it.

I have owned SE's since the launch of the T610. T610 was my first ever SE phone.
Since then I have replaced and upgraded my handset each year with a newer SE model. Last year I had the W960i and to be honest it was that phone that put the nail in the coffin for SE phones (for me).

The W960i was slow, touchscreen was a joke and texting was backward compared to previous SE phones. I could write a massive list of problems here but I will spare you the details.

So where am I going?:

I got a 16GB iPhone 3G S on the day of launch. Within 10/20mins it felt like I had owned it for months. Everything is so intuitive and works! It doesn't hang or crash, the menues are superb and texting is a pleasure.

I know there are a lot of anti Apple people out there but honestly, if you haven't tried the iPhone go and do so. You will not be disappointed at how quick and easy this phone is to use. Yes I agree the camera is naff compared to some of the later SE models but this phone just shines in so many other areas.

Put it this way - I'm glad I made the switch and I don't think I will be going back to SE for quite some time.... no! not because I'm in an 18 month contract but because SE simply lost that edge that they had for so many years!!

Does anyone know how to get the video icon that you get on the iPod touch onto the iPhone i had it on my iPhone 2G but i can't find it in cyida for the 3GS


Posted by Burgaz
@Mweb

I have recently read that none of the exsisting TV out cables work with the 3GS. There is apparently a new one coming from apple. Sods.

Posted by Nitro Fan
No HD what does that matter? it's Apple that's all that counts, ask any Apple disciple, if Steve says its the best then it is!............... apparently

Nice little interface, shame about having to wait for it cool down so you make can make a phone call!

Apple admits iPhone supply issues (BBC article)

Apple has revealed as part of its quarterly earnings statement that it cannot produce the new iPhone 3GS fast enough.
...
The firm said in a conference call that it sold 5.2 million iPhones in the quarter, seven times more than a year earlier!

Posted by anonymuser
Seven times! And in the depths of a recession as well..

Bhavv isn't going to like this one bit.

Posted by DREWMARK
Wow thats Apple for you.

Speed

From a non-Apple PR perspective, it has a faster processor, twice the RAM, 16GB and 32GB varieties (compared to the 3G's 8GB & 16GB) a 3mpx camera, VGA video recording, an in-built compass, and a slightly different coating on the screen.

Exteriorly, it looks exactly the same.

@Ryan. Realy very speed :D. Tnx brother for this information

I think its the Daily Express newspaper who have been giving away as prizes the iphone 3G all this month they are giving away one every eleven seconds they said. Nice.

Posted by Superluminova
Dunno if its been covered here, but Orange and T-mobile will be getting the iPhone from September this year.

Picked up my 3GS / 16G (Black), at the apple store yesterday. My last SE phone was the W810, 2years ago. Although I love SE phones. I can not break away from the iphone.. The speed of the 3GS is impressive.. I've always had my phones in cases... This phone is so beautiful, I think I'll keep it in the nude, why hide it's beauty?

Any one here has it in the nude? how many have a case?

Posted by Burgaz
Looks like my 3GS may well be for sale very shortly! It just wont hold signal when i'm at home and yet my 2G blackberry (also on o2) has no problems anywhere in the house!?

Gonna see what CPW say first or o2 maybe try for a replacement but if it's the same it'll have to go!
