Need Video camera, multitasking, real bluetooth, springboard customization stuff? Just do JB. Apple does nothing more just implement things already available on JB devices.

A whole lot of nothing … In order to get the full 3.0 experience you have to buy the new iPhone 3GS. Otherwise all you get are features available with free apps and Cut & Paste and Wide Keyboard in Texting an email. No Voice dialing, no Video camera. I don’t get it!!!! This is just software… Why do you need a new phone to run voice and video software!!!! In this economy its a bit hard to come up with justification for another $200 phone to get features I can get in a free phone with any carrier, even AT&T. Especially when I have a $300 phone that is only 11 months old.

Whoop De Doo!

Whoop De Doo… This is not up to the hype. The iPhone is the best phone I have ever had, sorry Blackberry (8 years). But all the hype for cut and paste. I don’t see it.

As for the new Voice recorder, I had a free app that did that already.

I listen to a lot of Podcasts and music, but the new A2DP “compatible” Bluetooth, to allow stereo wireless listening, absolutely stinks. I have the Sony HBH-IS800 headphones. At $199 they are worth the price, they work great with my laptop (Alienware) and other family members phones. But they ’skip’ or cutout two to three times a minute with my iPhone. Disable iPhone WiFi, and turn off 3G data and they only skip once a minute. (And Yes, both the phone and headphones are fully charged). Also Apple figures that these headphone all come with onboard volume controls since the iPhone hides the volume once you choose the headphones.

Looks like I will need to continue to use my A2DP adapter since Apple’s A2DP did not Fruit.

Thank God I figured this out before I bought a 3GS.
