So the anticipated release of the Apple Iphone 3G on June 11th have made headlines worldwide.
So how does it fare? It is just slightly thicker but its more roundish and lighter too. You really don’t feel the difference in size between this and the old one. But the most welcoming thing about this is of course the 3G service and the uber-low price. Just a mere 199$ and 299$. A far cry from the old pricings.

As for the connectivity, you’ll get a better response time with 3G (5s) versus EDGE (18s), but WIFI (3s) still is the best of them all. Not only that, the quality of calls have been improved with the absence of aluminium back casing that’s been replaced with durable scratch-free plastic. One other thing that the battery life improve heaps. The problematic headphone plug also been resolved. There’s 2 colours to choose from either black or white. I still prefer black because it add more sofistication to it.

Overall, the features are still pretty the same and easy to use. Not to mention ridiculously low price!
