The other day I bought myself an iPhone 3GS. I've since been playing around with it and loaded it with tons of applications that I will review later.
The "S" definitely stands for "Speed". If you have used an earlier version of the iPhone, you'll really feel how much faster the 3GS is compared to the 2G and even the 3G. It just works. Web browsing is also way faster in comparisment to the earlier iPhone's.
Its new hardware 3D-rendering is amazing for games with advanced graphics such as "Assasin's Creed" and "psx4iPhone", the Playstation emulator.
There is one problem with it though; it sometimes gets really warm and stops working. This is a big issue that I really hope Apple will replace every iPhone with this problem.
In my opinion, you should hesitate to buy the new iPhone until they fix the heating problem; otherwise, it's amazing and the speed just makes everything work.

Very limited information, only really reviewing limited aspects of a very complex piece of technology. Not helpful for a new buyer
The first thing youll notice about iPhone 3GS is how quickly you can launch applications. more
Web pages render in a fraction of the time and you can view email attachments faster. Improved performance and updated 3D graphics deliver an incredible gaming experience too. In fact everything you do on iPhone 3GS is up to 2x faster and more responsive than iPhone 3G.
