iPhone
3GS
The

3G S
doesn't
make the
same
grand
leap
that the

from the
first-generation

but the
latest
Apple
handset
is still
a
compelling
upgrade
for some
users.
The
iPhone
3G S is
faster
and we
appreciate
the new
features
and
extended
battery
life,
but call
quality
and 3G
reception
still
need
improvement. |
