Detailed review
I bought all of the iPhones the day they were released in the US. The 3G was my most anticipated, but the 3GS is the one that I am most impressed with. The speed is fantastic. It switches apps so fast it almost negates the need for background apps. The compass is a nice touch. The app is not very useful, but it really comes in handy when used within the Maps app. Voice control works well, I just wish there were more commands. The new oleophobic screen does a great job of resisting finger prints and smudges. I was originally thinking of getting a Pre, but after using the 3GS for a few weeks, I couldn't be happier with my choice. I look forward to seeing how the developers use the added power, especially with graphically intensive games.
