It's been a couple of weeks since I purchased the new 3G S and I have to say I'm pretty happy.A few things still nag:
• No Pandora while using the phone for other things. Apple has resisted calls for true multitasking, and for the most part I haven't had a problem with it. But the music streaming service is the cat's meow and cutting out whenever I leave the app just plain sucks.
• Speaking of sucks... The still photo quality is really bad unless the light is really good. No flash has me looking at options like BetterPix to see if it can help.
• Speaking of Flash... I know that popular browser plug-in is a horribly bloated, memory leaking, resource hog. But it's everywhere and that makes it frustrating when I can't access something that billions of other can.
Things I love:
• The video quality is pretty remarkable for a phone.
• The virtual keyboard has been much easier to get used to than I feared it would be. The corrective typing quality is just shy of brilliant.
• Games. I didn't think I'd be playing them much, but I enjoy a few Time Wasters like FlightControl, Galcon (pictured), Glyder, and Hero of Sparta.
Installed (non-game) apps:
• Google
