iPhone 3GS - Pre-Order

there's been a lot going on after apple announced their new model of iPhone 3G...the S model ... which they mean Speedier model.

prior to the launch on the 19th of June, apple's partner AT&T together with apple stores have started off several activities to encounter wat might be a big rush for people over the new iphone.

- preordering the new iphone
- apple stores to open as early as 8am
- those who preordered can come at 7am

and guess what? the pre-order has been sold out already!

apple also shown that since the launch of iPhone, Mac users have doubled! up till now, apple has sold an approximate 40,000,000 units of iPhone around the world. which means 40MILLION units! staggering amount for a product which was launched back at 29th of June 2007.

D.O.B (in U.S)
- iPhone (29th June 2007)
- iPhone 3g (11th July 2008)
- iPhone 3gs (19th June 2009)

how in the world can apple do that with a product?? amazing ...

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
