we should separate out the 3GS discussion from the other announcements at WWDC 2009
so, are we happy with the new iphone? 7.2mbit HSDPA, 3megapixel auto focus camera, 32gb, os 3.0 etc etc?
I know I am!
not worried about lack of front camera as I never do video calling anyway
video recording and editing will be a nice bonus, but is the new iphone really worth upgrading to when compared with simply updating our existing 3g to os 3.0?

Who was first with tap for focus? The G900 has it. Any other phone before that?
In any case, this will probably be my next phone. As soon as hardware-unlocked models show up here in the Middle East.

All the updates for the new model are welcomed and i agree about the front facing camera but it would have been nice if it looked different cosmetically

I don't see what the big deal is about. Absolutely no new features.

Epic fail IMO. Still a VERY poor camera, but also very bad pricing still. If they sold the 3Gs with 8GB ram Sim Free for a reasonable cost it may be worth it. But they aren't.
TomTom is a huge bonus but would need to see reviews about if maps are installed locally to the device etc otherwise again it's not worth it due to potential costs.

Nope, didn't bother. I knew Apple wouldn't announce anything of interest.

'Pretty much all the rumours regarding the new iPhone turned out true - the iPhone 3GS (S for Speed) has a 3 megapixel camera with video recording and a compass. The unexpected thing however is that 3GS will look exactly as the original iPhone 3G.
Beside the new VGA@30fps video recording, the auto focus camera with touch focus (and everything else automatic) and of course, the built-in compass, there are no other significant changes as compared to iPhone 3G.
The iPhone 3GS will be available as soon as 19 June 2009 in the first wave of countries and it would spread to all the 80 planned countries within a couple of months later.
The first wave will hit USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and UK on 19 June, while the rest of the countries will follow suite on 09 July and 09 August.
Available again in white and black, the iPhone 3GS will retail for 199 US dollars and 299 US dollars for the 16GB and 32GB version respectively.
In the same time, the iPhone 3G will continue selling at a reduced price of only 99 US dollars for the 16GB version.'
