Maybe I can get him to give me his old phone and I can jailbreak it for Sprint.

Hey Coz, do you/your parents know about this??

I hear you, i have a diamond with wifirouter, and an ipod touch. I even have a beer pong app too! plus, iJiggle looks way more realistic than hdWobble. lol!

haha omg it has video such an "AMAZING" Feature lmao my gf free LG phone does video and MMS are you freaking kidding me....

apple is still living in the past. i do feel sorry for them though.

apple is like this, and their fans act like whatever the iphone has is the most important thing ever

remember when the first iphone released??

"copy and paste isnt necessary"
"apps are overrated"
"i dont need video/mms"
"i dont care if it multitasks"

why? because iphone did not support it

...moving forward, the iphone3g is released and i could have sworn that ATT introduced 3g that very day hahaha

...and now that whole "its all about the apps" mentality as opposed as what they said when it first released...

now the 3Gs.......same story....but with dumber features lol

It can still only run one app, but the 3GS has the latest ARM processor, the Cortex A8 which is ridiculously fast. There are some benchmarks here:

I ran them on my Omnia and tended to be near the slower side on each one. I'm not surprised though, the Cortex is used in the Archos 5 media player which is able to decode HD video onboard (!) as well as the OpenPandora which is designed to emulate console games.
So while the software hasn't gone that far, the hardware is a pretty big leap forward.

i have to say that the 3gs is much nicer than the 3g. I purchased the 3g the day before apple announced the 3gs, so att upgraded me for free. It is a LOT faster. Before i bought it i did do research. Without signing a new contract, the iphone was actually the cheapest phone that would do what i wanted. Comparing it to the htc 8525 that i owned prior to this, i would take the iphone any day. My ownly problem with it is that i can only run one app at a time. Moast of the things i had to fight to make my winmo phone do, the iphone could do out of the box.

cheers,
Matt

have you tried "backgrounder"? it allows multitasking on the iPhone but its supposed to be jailbroken for it to be installed

im thinking the 3Gs should have enough horsepower to handle multitasking without losing performance now

[glascofirefighter225]

cool ill give it a try thanks. how do i jailbreak it and what will change?

[Negrito]

@Mike:
600Mhz I'm sure it can handle anything our beloved Diamonds, and Touch Pros can.


@glasco:
Jailbreaking isnt quite available for the 3gS yet. Check here often, as these are the people who have jailbroken every Apple iPhone OS running device so far.
