it doesn't make a single thing harder, if you already use itunes of course.

i dont use itunes on a regular basis. but ur saying it's not easier to drag and drop when you plug in ur phone than fuking around with dragging documents into ur itunes folder then syncing it to ur phone? i dont see why apple cant give you the option to drag and drop along with syncing. Most other smartphones have both options

itunes is awesome if you configure it right. use it to manage, rip, organize (down to the folder and file level), and burn your music collection. do NOT use it as your default media player or else you will curse it.

there IS a drag and drop feature for your ipod/iphone in itunes. just click the manually manage music button.

Upgrading the camera to 3.0, af and video mode but still no flash.................

lol they need to keep something to add on next years model right? Can't just give you everything you want now or why would you ever upgrade like they want you to ;)

i use itunes as my default music player, i never have any problems with it.

^ ditto. When I started using itunes as my music player, I never had a second thought about going back to winamp.

the reason why i recommend NOT to use itunes as your default music player is because of the way i have my itunes setup. i use itunes as my music library for ripping and tagging cds and mp3s, any files that i drag into itunes it is set up to make a copy of the file inside my itunes folder and organize it by subfolders with the artist and album names. i like this setup very much as all of my music that is worth keeping and that i actually want in my library is consolidated and organized very well, both by filename, folder structure, and by id3 tags.

with my setup if i was to use itunes as my default music player then everything i get a new song or album that i am just checking out, it would be added to itunes when i play a song. this is not something that i want to happen, on both my PC and Mac i use VLC as a media and music player, if the song or album is good then i drag it into itunes and re-tag it if necessary, at that point it is copied to my itunes library in my itunes folder and i can delete the original copy where ever it was.

Does the 3gs support a2dp?

the iphone 3g will get a2dp will the 3.0 update, so yes, 3gs should alrady support it out of the box

battery life improvement is a +
camera improvement is expected...

anti finger oil coating does not mean matte, it's still glossy

if palm pre vs iphone 3gs, 3gs > pre due to the OS on the pre... webOs is still relatively unstable...

the OS itself is optimized so even on 3G is slightly faster.. but definitely not as fast on the 3GS.. multiple running apps is a thing of the past as 3.0 will support PNS (push notification services)... which i argue is way better than processes and threads... ppl who studied OS should agree on that one...

o yea... Apple Lossless format = WIN!
i can't go back to MP3......... flac's and apple lossless stole my heart..

Price without term for 16gb is 699, 799 for 32gb and old 8gb is 599 all are available without term now starting tmr

Anyone use skype with the iphone? Could you simply use a dataplan and route everything thru skype? I see on the skype page it says wifi but with the faster 3gs will it still be wifi only?

I might use my fido dollars (have around 190 fido dollars) and upgrade my current iphone.

anyone been able to get a 3GS if they are with them but still have a year and a half left on their current contract? not a current iphone 3G user

Its not very clear about what price family plan people get?

Which special price! D:

Ok, so I called Fido and the CR said the $500 discount is only for Rogers’s customers; Fido customers who own a 3G, purchased in August/Sept and spend $100+ a month, can purchase the 3Gs for $599, not $199. Only upside is you can use your Fido dollars but seriously $599? No thanks.

the only discount u get for fido is if u have an iphone 3g u get 100 bucks off

:lol fido FTL

My dad got the new 3Gs today but I haven't had a chance to play around. He's with Rogers so he got it for $199.

i just bought one, its being shipped.. any tips and tricks?

i got the 16gb 3G S on friday and its great, i wanted the 32gb but didnt want to spend the extra $100 now considering that there will be another new iphone late next year and i have some fido contracts that will be up for renewal then.

the 3G S is a lot faster than than the 2g and a fair amount faster than the 3g. the voice control is pretty cool, especially when driving, but then again you would look like a douche bag using it walking down the street. the new compass feature makes the google maps soooo much better, the video is cool if you will use it, the new auto focus and tap to focus camera is awesome, way better than the older ones.

overall the 3.0 firmware update makes all phones a bit more responsive and better performing, from the 2g to the 3g. check out this write up on how the use the 40, yes thats right 40, new features of the 3.0 software. this does NOT include the new features only available on the 3G S.

How To Use The Best 40 Features of iPhone 3.0

so i plan to buy the 3g-s from fido for 399 with 2 year contract no data plan 16g black and my question is, is it worth it getting the iphone without the data plan?

nope not really so might as well get one since they have the 6gb for 30 and plus if u dont want it after u get it just cancel it and pay the 100 decf, still end up paying less than 399 ;) it'll be 299 :P
