Apple’s 3g iphone (tresG for our Spanish speaking audience) has made its way into my hand this past weekend. The 3g has replaced my original iPhone, which was unable to stay in one piece during its short life (8months). The iPhone gets most its use for internet pornography (see:LubeTube) and checking stocks, mostly.
In my time with the 3g I have been somewhat satisfied. Lets run through some of the PROs:
1. it is black – black makes it looks cool and hip and can help get you into hard to get into clubs
2. its 3g – this phone actually rings when people call and makes phone calls when you make a call, unlike the original, which had connectivity issues
3. MazeFinger compatible – Mazefinger the app still works on the 3g.
4. Its louder – The phones speaker is noticably louder, which enhances some existing apps, like atomicFart
5. GPS is solid – I can now locate myself better, instead of a big circle surrounding the state i am in, the gps equipped iphone 3g can now pinpoint where im at. (note: it doesnt track how you got to said destination)
CONTINUE READING the CONS and FINAL WORD and FINAL RATING
And the CONs:
1. Its plastic – the original phone was sweet and metal and was heavy as shit. It felt cool in the palm of my hand. The 3g is made of plastic and other materials, mostly plastic. Plastic can burn or/and melt during extended imob gaming sessions. Plastic feels slightly dainty in the palm
2. its not metal – as stated above, its no longer metal.
3. doesn’t drop/miss calls – one benefit/nonbenefit of the original was the lack of service quality. Always easy to blame the iphone for screening calls
4. iMob data gone – I had to restart my iMob account on the 3g – NONTRANSFERABLE
5. It costs less – It costs 200$+ less than the original which makes it not nearly as cool and expensive. I don’t feel like 2 million dollars carrying it around anymore and its not expensive enough brag about all the time
Final Word: The iPhone 3g is a combination of good and bad and a mix of ok. I am receiving a lot more phone calls and have been dropping less calls… its more of a nuisance. The gps and the sound upgrade on the existing apps (atomicfart) definitely carry this iPhone upgrade. If you own an original iPhone, Keep it, youll get more out of the look and style of that phone than with the new updates in the 3g iPhone
8 Fist Pumps out of a possible 10! Solid Buy (if you dont have the better metal original iPhone)
I am pretty much certain you can always brag about iPhones. I learned that from this guy we work with. The guy we work with is this one cretin who talks constantly about his iphone. It is hard to shut him up. We pray to gods in distant galaxies that he is never united on a project with certain other talkative elements of our department.
WOW. SHAM!
great review – i would just add that the 3g is third generation technology, add that to the pros
sorry @D, that kinda makes sense but i am pretty sure 3g means how many Gs the phone can pull in tight turns. 3 Gs is pretty powerful, I think it will be along time before we see a 4G capable phone.
