You should write technology reviews for magazines & newspapers.

The iphone compared to the likes of what HTC offerers makes the iphone looks shit. I think that they are a bunch of very clever marketing people really.

That was not in the list of updated features I saw.

You got a crappy camera instead

:EDIT

You are correct, according to Wikipaedia they did add stereo bluetooth

Bugger - now I have no reason not to get one

Just picked it up and iTunes restored all my settings from my embarrassingly old iPhone I got a year ago. It did it in a jiffy. Now I'm normally very critical of technology but boy do Apple get it right. It's just so easy!

Anyway, onto this new exciting model. Wow, it's got a compass but that's not all. There's more! One click of a button and it shows you where you are on a map, just like a GPS. How cool. Okay, onto the other applications... Oh dear, it's the same as my old one. It's got nothing else.

But the compass is really cool. I showed it to a couple of geeks at work and I said "Look how accurate it is!" They said "Well it should be, that compass just cost you $1300.

Apple marketing eh?

are you tim or tom when you call up newstalkzb??

I bought one of the factory unlocked iPhone 3GS phones in Australia.

It's the first iPhone I've owned and it's a damned fine phone. I'm seriously impressed with what it can do.

Battery life is a bit weak, but I've got one of those Mophie external battery packs. Which basically doubles the battery life.

As an aside, the compass is also integrated into the maps application. Hit the locate button a second time and the map will orient in real-time to the compass (the locate button is the crosshair icon in the bottom left corner of the maps app)
