I resisted jailbreaking mine until it was at least out of warranty.
However, it was very easy and totally painless to do.

That's my personal opinion based on your posts here. I don't want to hear your "suggestions" about what phone I should be using, thanks. End of.

Other than the keyboard, what so good about it? Their website is extolling the virtues of google search and streetmaps, hardly ground breaking stuff.

I was wondering that...for me to dump the iPhone the apps have to be shit hot, music has to be easy to sync, and it needs to equal my mobile web experience.

You pointed out that the update brought it up to Android when actually you can paste from one app to another unless it supports it.
I can paste images from Safari to the SMS and MMS them to you. Been able to do that for ages.
Still waiting for android.

Massively bigger screen, much better camera plus flash, Flash support (huzzah!) and FM radio for starters.

I'm afraid that's known as an 'unprovoked personal attack' round these parts. Do keep up

How many times have you actually done that though? For me = 0.
I'd find a bigger screen/Flash support and a FM radio far more useful.

Nothing useful to add, of course, but always ready to have a pop.
You need to get over it, really.

you didn't hear any suggestion from me about what phone you should be using, because I didn't make one...
you said that I wasn't capable of independent critical thought on this matter, I think that's a tad unfair tbh - but it's your personal opinion which you are welcome to, I mean afaic you are incapable of adding anything constructive to the majority of discussions regarding Apple products, and instead turn up with your arms full of cut & paste articles bemoaning this and that, which you then appear to hide behind repeating ad nauseum - my own personal opinion based on your posts of course

Quite a lot. Its kinda fun when a quirky picture says it better.
Bigger screen makes it bigger in my pocket and I don't want that, its already pushing it in the size stakes. FM radio I will never use.

Was this thread merged with the Desire one or something?
Err, Fuck You.
"Bosh!"
You need to get over yourself, frankly.

Inevitable comparison, no? I believe the iPhone is also being discussed in the Desire thread too.

Nothing particularly ground-breaking then. I was thinking more OS-wise than hardware wise.
Not particular enamoured by increased dot pitch, doesn't really make much difference in practice (and depends on how well your OS does sub-pixel anti-aliasing), though I would expect the new iPhone to at least come up to the Dream's resolution.
Don't really want Flash on a phone (but I would want it on a netbook/ipad), FM radio isn't bad (though since moving abroad I never listen to the radio, I usually stream BBC Radio at home), though I hear rumours it may be incorporated into the new iPhone. Nah not really impressed, damn fugly fone too. But I am keeping an eye on the Android platform as its lack of walled-garden and respect of its developers is a good thing.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that notifications haven't been revamped in iPhone 4.0 - more could be shown on the lock-screen. Already if I get a notification from facebook it'll overwrite any SMS I may have missed.

Is that comparison 100% accurate? It says the 3GS isn't capable of voice-dialling but I discovered yesterday it can.
It also says the 3GS doesn't do voice-memos when it can.

I noticed that, it seems to be compared to the 3G not the 3GS

erratum:
the iphone geotags its photos
the iphone has a voice memo recorder
anyway, as sunray says, the hardware's all the same these days - a hires screen, a battery, an ARM processor and 16+GB of storage. All the difference is in the software.

Running at 600MHz to the Desire's 1Ghz.
Its capable if 1Ghz according to the web. Which makes me go hmm has anyone overclocked a 3GS?

If its comparisons of the same chipset, it certainly is.

but really, so long as the machine responds and behaves smoothly, who cares what mega-wotsits it has? you can make shitty software run like crap on a 3GHz Core 2, or you can make lean optimised software run silky smooth on a 600MHz ARM. It's the experience that matters.

Yes I get your point, but the lower mhz will cause issues for possible innovations down the line. Just because right now there isint an issue that has no bearing on the future.

Fair point, I suppose. Mobile phones go through a pretty quick upgrade cycle though, so not too critical

2 years is not that quick.
