Sid's Lists: iPhone 3GS
After having owned the first-gen iPhone for almost 2 years now, I decided it was time for an upgrade and purchased a iPhone 3GS (white) from Apple’s online store. Having owned and tested it for the last two hours, a few thoughts:
Definitely worth the upgrade. It feels like Apple’s learnt some things from the first-gen and used that to make a more solid, finished product. As a...

“The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
