One thing people have to remember o2 are giving you 12 month free Internet. Which I'd good. Plus it'l be interesting to see how many people now end up returning der palm pre in the USa. That phone is a copy of the iPhone inside it. It's laid out the same plus made by ex apple engineers. So see what happens.

Funny how people complain about the "measly" 3MP on the phone yet they're probably the ones that are complaining that other phones have too many megapixels.

That's true. But your not just paying that ammount of money just for the phone. Your paying for unlimited free Internet your paying for getting so many minutes and SMS free too. Plus it's not just a phone. It is an iPod as well as a movie player and so much more. As the apple saying goes. Your paying a premium price for a premium product. I have decided I will be getting this phone only wen my k850 dies on me and when it's out of warranty. In the mean time I wi also enjoy having my work iPhone. N it's only later on I'll be buying this one.

£1761.84 is a lot of money for a free phone! (based on the 32GB 3Gs over 24 months)

Some people are saying they are underwhelmed but I think iPhone 3G S was a big announcement. The video camera will be dead easy to use with good sharing and editing implementation. Voice control is really useful and really cool. Tomtom now has not only an app but also a car access. for the iphone that will also charge your iphone and allow you to listen to your ipod. Plus you have all the new apps with 3.0 and much more to come to take avantage of 3G S' unique features. What excites me more is the drive apple is giving to mobile development, by watching today's keynote it really seems they are ahead of everybody else. Even if other platforms have this os that function the iphone lacks, in terms of mobile develp. apple is leading the way. Having a limited hardware, software expertise, an effective store and allowing just one app to run together with apple's apps is really making things easy for developers since they always know pretty much how the apps are going to behave and what functions they can include and plus you can download the apps very easily using the store. This seems like a tough-to-beat combination to me.

I'm a bit disappointed that it looks exactly the same, although I can understand Apple's rational, the 3GS now slots in nicely in store next to the 3G. It's almost like having a Macbook and Macbook Pro
As a 3G user, this one is getting skipped. I think if O2 gave existing iPhone customers the chance to upgrade early I would perhaps consider paying the ridiculous price of £184 to sign another £35pm contract. (but then i would need my head testing
)
Actually the pricing is a complete joke. How on earth $199 converts to £184 i dont know. They really need to sort the pricing out, but they know they can get people signed up for that cost.

I'm happy with what was announced, they've improved the hardware enough to make best use of the new OS, but without leaving existing users (of the first gen and the 3G) high and dry in terms of the eco-system, since this is recognisably still the same platform with the same fundamental underpinnings, just better. It's good news for devs as well, which makes it even better news for everyone else.
I think they've done exactly the right thing with the camera, I'd be interested in seeing some video and still samples but I'll bet they're pretty high quality, 3.0MP is ample for a sensor of that size and if backed up with the right optics, software and processing (which I suspect it is) it may well surprise some people around here.
If I was choosing a brand new phone right now I'd pick up the 3GS in a second, there's nothing on the market now or planned for the future that would tempt me away. In reality I'm under contract with my 3G until April, by which time it may well be worth waiting until the next keynote, but I'm happy that my iPhone is going to be so well supported in the meantime.
40 million users of the iPhone/iPod Touch is an astonishing figure - does anyone know if there's a breakdown of that showing the split between the two devices?
