Just as everybody expected, Stevie gave the world what it wanted, the 2nd generation iPhone, the iPhone 3G. It wasn’t smooth sailing though; we had to wait about 1 hour and 30 minutes before it was introduced in the Keynote Steve made. We had to sit through many other services and products that support the iPhone, which is great and cool, but we could not pay attention because we were anxious to see the new iPhone.
Here are the specs:
- GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
- HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
- 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm
- Weighs 133 grams
- 3.5-inch Touchscreen with 16M colors
- Multi-touch input method
- Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
- Proximity sensor for auto turn-off
- Ambient light sensor
- 8/16 GB shared memory
- GPRS, EDGE, and HSDPA
- Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
- Bluetooth and USB
- Mac OS X v10.4.10
- 2 megapixel camera
- Built-in GPS receiver
- A-GPS function
- 300 hours of Stand-by time
- 10 hours of talk time
While the iPhone 3G was over hyped in terms of the different features it will get, this phone is a great upgrade for just $200.00 USD, with a 2 year contract of course. The only thing that I can really complain here is the camera. It seriously needs an upgrade and video capturing ability as well!
