iphone 3g

been using it for a while already now, 2 weeks to b in exact ... remembered received it on the 10th of August 2008 fully packed with an O2 paper bag directly from uk ... it was really special when i received it. came together with a very nice n stylish black red belkin silicone protector ... really hv to thank her for goin thru all d troubles getting the iphone 3g back here to me ... thanks honglee :)

i shud hv posted this way back when i received it but was quite busy so didn't really had d chance to ... tonight seems to b quite early, n free so juz felt like posting something in this little blog :)

before this i was using ipod touch which i got last year but since the news of iphone 3g came out, i knew i wanted 1 so juz decided to sell my ipodtouch n get it. indeed now i'm using it already ... really delighted to say tat

mayb most of u might hv known or read it some place but there's juz something i would like to put down on this blog. some pros n cons i've realized after a while from using the iphone 3g.

let's start off with some bad news against d iphone 3g :-
- it doesn't forward sms
- it doesn't send/receive mms
- it doesn't record videos
- it doesn't record sound
- it doesn't send/receive bluetooth files
- the stock update is delayed for 20mins (is this needed then?)
- the speaker phone function isn't tat good (nokia has one of the best so far)
- the back cover will b covered with prints if there wasn't any protectors
- the camera is still 2.0mp without autofocus
- white version only available in 16gb
- the map function only works in countries with full roadmap (not in malaysia "yet")

here're some updates from the iphone 3g :-
- the back cover has been redesigned into a glossy surface with curves
- it's better to hold on the hands compared to the previous model
- the ringer controls to the left is now in silver
- the headphones jack has been relocated on top with a standard 3.5mm jack
- it's preloaded with firmware 2.0 which comes with App Store
- there's a whole load of applications ready to download and install from app store
- 3g data transfer is fast~!! (compared to the edge version last time)
- there's a-gps (assisted gps) function which utilizes google map and gps function together to find out where u are and how u're moving
- the screen will automatically turn off when u have the phone close to ur ear (light sensor to b exact)
- another function added which i kinda like would be the native chinese input methods(pinyin and handwriting recognition) which i consider to b one of the most accurate n user friendly with T9 included :)


conclusion
it's still something quite addictive and cool to use :) plus, it's an apple ...


i like ;)

btw, a colleague of mine bought a white 16gb unit from some forum for rm3300 ... hopefully he treasures it juz like me ... mine is ... priceless
