I bought this amazing gadget the day it was released, and everyday i use it, it may be expensive but it is definatley worth the money.
Better than the 3G version in a few small ways -
The Battery life is better
The camera has been upgraded, so it is now 3MP and with autofocus. The best thing about the focus is that when you take a photo you can tap on the screen in the place you want to camera to focus.
Also the camera allows Video aswell this time.
The it is twice as fast, many people say it isnt, but I know people with the plain 3G version and my 3GS is definatley alot faster than theirs.
The memory has been upgraded aswell, you can now get 16GB and 32GB models
And then theres a compass added to it aswell :)
Also the new iPhone comes with the new iPhone 3.0 Software. Which allows you to copy and paste, I know that sounds simple but you'd be surprised at how much you use it and how much time it saves.
The only downside with the software upgrade is that some of the Apps from the AppStore no longer work, but they are constantly upgrading and everyday the apps are getting fixed so that they do work with it, infact there is onlly a small amount of them now which do not work.
Now as for using the iphone - its very simple! The main screen is filled with icons that are easy to identify an you just tap on the icon and it quickly opens up. Sending a text message is just as simple, and they touch keyboard is great aswell, you just tap away at the letters and the keyboard also has an auto correct feature to help you along.
Also there are thousands of apps from the App store to download, there really is an App for everything!!
Then as you may Know the iphone isnt just a phone, its an Ipod aswell!, looks and works exactly the same as the iPod touch!
Excellent gadget!

Apple iPhone 3G S * 3 mega-pixel camera with auto focus, auto white balance, and auto more
exposure. Doubles as a VGA video recorder at 30fps w/ audio * Voice control, aka voice recognition * Built in compass * Improved battery life * 16GB/32GB Internal Memory In its official material, Apple states, "Everything you do on iPhone 3G S is up to 2x faster and more responsive than iPhone 3G. "The company also claims that "updated 3D graphics deliver an incredible gaming experience." Technical specs about the improved graphics capabilities are one of the few details that have not yet been released The iPhone 3GS will feature 256MB of RAM and a whooping 600 MHz processor. Previous versions of the iPhones that came to market included 128MB of RAM and a 412MHz processor. The added RAM alone will make a huge difference in speed and should allow larger applications run on the device. This is a great follow up to Apple's already very popular iPhone 3G. The new 3GS (S=Speed) is a much faster and improved version of the iPhone 3G
Advantages: voice recognition is a great handy function aswell as the massive selection of aplications. Disadvantages: Quite Expensive and is only available on the o2 network
