Right then....
As planned, the missus got her 3G this morning, and is nagging quite alot as, in the interest of science and review, I haven't really let her get a look in yet!!
Firstly, I can't do a straight comparison yet as the V2.0 firmware is not yet available for my original iPhone due to it only being released in the US at 8am, and with us being 7 hours behind, it won't be available until later today...
But anyway....first impressions are that....and here it comes.....the 3G is NO faster than the original iPhone when using its apps... furthermore, it's glossy coating IS going to scratch quite badly if not covered sufficiently, which is why we've just ordered a Revo iSkin for it, like I have on mine...
One thing i will say is that the Apps Store (available through iTunes) is the coolest thing I've ever seen - and we've already downloaded 2 Apps for Nicola's 3G iPhone - Monkeyball and an app called Shazam...
Monkeyball is truly amazing, and I genuinely think that the likes of Nintendo DS have got something to worry about now...why would you pay £20 for a game for the DS, when you could pay £6 for a game when the graphics are MORE than on a par.....
With Shazam the idea is that if theres a song playing (radio, cd, whatever) you hold your phone up to the speaker, and it recognises the tune, gives you all the info for it, and even gives links to the iTunes Store for purchasing if you wish....I thrown some very obscure tunes at it, and I just ain't been able to fool it yet!!! And whats more....the App is FREE!!!
When the update for mine is available and set up, I'll do a straight compare with photos etc....
