iPhone 3G s Review
Posted on July 28, 2009
iPhone review-
3Gs- not too inspiring, but cool enough to buy. I’m upgrading from my Motorola Q- which has been a work horse, but seriously lacking. I won’t bash or regret the change- let’s move forward.
I’ve had a mildly long relationship with iPhones via my clients. Initially it was just cool, but the impact of ownership sheds more light. Game changer. Not that I haven’t had good phones, iPods, PDAs etc., but to have it in one is super convenient. It isn’t the best, but I love it.
With my Q I constantly had space issues- no surfing… at all. 32GB is nice, still not what I need to have it be my carry-all. For me a good starting place would be the iPod classic starting point- 120GB minimum. With tons of music I can only sync a few playlists and have to be conscious about app room and video storage. Come on Apple, at least give me the option for expansion- even a microSDHC would’ve been nice. /Sigh. I’m trying not to gripe, but that may be the trend.
Camera- definately better than the previous, and certainly better than the old Q, but still just ok. I don’t expect much out of it and that way I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Great for taking snapshots of prices or deals I find while I’m out to show my wife. I’m very happy with the touch focus- that has been really nice. Score- 1 being Julia’s old Olympus 2mp and 10 being a solid DSLR, I give it a solid 5.
Video- super cool. The option to capture Abby’s silly moments is priceless. Well, priceless in that I didn’t have to remember to bring another cam. There was a pretty funny macbreak video on how to make it steady. It also uploads directly to Youtube, albeit a compressed version.
