The iPhone 3GS doesn't break much new ground compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 3G. Apple has added video-recording capability, an improved 3-megapixel camera, voice control and a compass, but it hasn't give the phone a new look that we can wave in our friends' faces.
The 3GS is still the smoothest and most enjoyable touchscreen phone out there, but, now that the design is almost a year old, it just doesn't offer the same thrill.
Why mess with a good thing?
The 3GS is the latest and greatest version of the touchscreen phone that set the standard for usability and fun. The Apple App Store is full of zillions of great apps that add even more features to the phone, and they're easy to download and install.
Two years' hard time
It's not cheap to get on the 3GS bandwagon -- it'll cost you £44 a month with O2 to get the 16GB model for free on a 24-month contract. Even the older 3G model will cost you £34 per month if you want a free handset. Also, to keep the iPhone running so smoothly, Apple controls which apps make it onto the App Store, and how they run, with an iron fist. That means almost no multitasking.
