10 cool things about the iPhone 3G S - Business Center - PC World

Kinda wish I had waited, but then again I don't think these new features make it a must buy. Some new tweaks and 32 gb is nice though.

The coolest feature is bluetooth tethering which apparently is never going to see the light of day here because AT&T already has an aircard plan.

This makes no sense though, since anyone can tether (via usb) a blackberry and surf as much as they want.

Picked up the 3G S on Friday. My contract with Verizon just expired, so I made the switch. My first iPhone. My goodness it's badass.

Confession: I downloaded the Lightsaber app, and I was totally bouncing around my living room pretending to be a Jedi. Only for a few minutes, but still.

As an iPhone newbie, I'd love to hear about everyone's favorite apps.

How much did it cost you for the phone? I am thinking of doing the same with my Verizon.

Right now the 3GS 16GB is $199, 32GB $299. With a 2 year agreement of course.

I got the 16GB, which is plenty of storage space for me.

Ok cool. My Verizon contract ends in March 10 so I have some time.

light saber app is still my fav.

I'm loving the DC metro app. It'll tell me all the times and delays on the metro. It's priceless.

My phone died on my vacation, and I had to replace it. Being on TMobile, I had hoped to wait out the contract period (8 more months) but once it died, I went ahead and got the G1 phone. While good, I am guessing that the iPhone would easily blow it away.

Thanks Matty. I'll definitely check out a few of those.

More actually, those are just the ones worth mentioning.

It has occurred to me that I might have the least knowledge of cell phones of anyone on this site.

Ok, lets give it a try. Here is what I know how to use.

-Make and receive calls.
-Check msg. and call history.
-Can take and view pics. but I cannot send them or transfer them to
anything.
-I can store peoples # but it seems I have to learn how every time I try
to store one.

I think thats it. Your turn.
