I wanna get a 3gs, but I don't wanna pay out the ass for AT&T's service. I have a 16gb 2g and I pay 60/mo for unlimited everything....I dont wanna more than double that to go with AT&T

They could have at least made the 3GS compatible with the 2G dock.

Picked up my 3GS this morning amidst a huge line at the Apple Store. I was once again surprised at how many people were there for the third version of the phone.
Going from the OG iPhone to the 3GS is a huge leap. It really is much faster and smoother in all regards. Very happy with the upgrade so far. Those of you with 3G might not think it's a big update, but my friend here at the office with the 3G is already complaining about the differences in performance. :lol

Lame.
Walked in, they had plenty of stock, but I guess the Rogers computers crashed and they had little to no help on figuring out the upgrade path, so they refused to sell me anything. I'm guessing when I try to check in at lunch they will be completely sold out.
A coworker of mine picked up a phone though (new contract, so he didn't need to rely on the Rogers servers) and the compass/google maps part is really impressive.
EDIT: huh...telus HSPA is already coming online in the lower mainland. I guess bell/telus/globalive GSM softlaunch really is coming soon.

The 3G models are thicker than the 2G docks.dallow_bg said:

Bell/Telus aren't going GSM, just UMTS/HSPA. You'll see them if you search networks on the iPhone, but not on a plain GSM phone without 3G hardware.
I was seriously thinking of upgrading for $550 to the 32GB 3GS but the last thing I need is to be back in with slightly more than 3 years on my contract. I think I'll grit my teeth and wait it out and see how these new carriers turn out as well as see what Apple has in store for us next year.
I'm looking at QuickPWN's website but it's still a bit unclear to me as they're asking us to wait for ultrasnow? http://www.quickpwn.com/
I have a jailbreaked 1st gen iPhone running on OS 2.x (I used QuickPWN the first time around). I want OS 3.

Where did I agree that there should be no pack-in or forward-compatible dock?kaching said:
3G doesn't fit in 2G. Don't read into it.
kaching said:
the worst thing that can be said about Apple and their iPhone docks is that they did not design them to be forward compatible as they did with the universal dock.
if they had made the opening slightly larger at the beginning, a small adapter with the 3G could have been used to make it fit. as it is, no dice.
hey, at least all 3G accessories work with the 3GS
let's see what happens with next year's model...

You're right, it's HSPA, but it's ostensibly GSM in terms of conversation, because the phones they offer will be sim-bound and in many cases incompatible with their CDMA/EVDO network.
Another gaffer just gave an update; servers still down, stores still turning away customers. What a disaster.

ultrasnow is only if you want to unlock the phone right? I thought someone said the Mac version of QuickPWN is out now though.

Why do you need a dock? Just asking. I never had one, so I want to know what are you missing by just using the sync cable directly.

The ability to stand your phone up on your night stand next to your bed. I'm going to miss this. I might buy a dock...

StrikerObi said:
Same here. I didn't pick up a dock today because I might end up getting a new dock/clock radio or something, but I like having the dock on the nightstand as well. Very convenient. i'll either buy a new one or go the clock radio route.
Charred Greyface said:
Um... what are you doing to go through so many sync cables so quickly? Do they keep falling under the lawn mower or something?
Anybody care to try out Time Lapse with the 3GS' camera and share the results?
I have no idea why. Just regular daily usage with my laptop and occasionally plug into the wall.Kung Fu Jedi said:

I am so satisfied with the 3GS. It's just so fast and I love having 32gbs. The voice feature is handy for playing an artist quickly, but that's really it so far.
Yahoo push has been working great so far.
The oil-resistant screen definitely resists oil better than the other iPhones, but it seems to retain a ton of fingerprints. Like, every single touch and swipe. I don't see it head on but on my desk at an angle I see everything. So really, it doesn't matter what so ever, I was just surprised when I saw them all while it was charging.

that is crazy. I have had my sync cable for a year and no problems at all. I take it you work everyday, sync at home, I have been on about 5 trips with it out of state and it is working fine.

I would kind of like an answer here too, por favor.
My wife's iPhone 3G does not have the greatest cell radio. My Blackberry flat-out kills it in this department. She'll have 1 bar or no service and I'll have 3-4 bars. I'm willing to spend the 400 just to not hear the bitching.

i wonder if my att stores have enough stock for walk in's. Any walk ins here?
I wonder if I could just say fuck it, let me go into a store and pick one up if there's some available still? When you responded like you did to someone simply wishing that Apple designed the 3GS with the existing dock in mind.Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
Don't need it, it would just be nice to still use it with the 3GS. As others have pointed out, it's got the audio out line on it, so it makes it convenient for connecting the iPhone to a stereo, clock radio, etc.dskillzhtown said:
