Apple iPhone 3G is Twice as Fast? Think Twice.
Filed in: Gadgets, Video Clips — August 13th, 2008
We watched the Apple 3G iPhone commercial. It is so cool! It is so fast! But, is iPhone 3G “really” that fast? rrrrrrrroooooooo did a test of iPhone 3G speed in real life and compare with the Apple iPhone 3G ads video.
Apparently, iPhone 3G in test is much slower than the advertised speed. Well, we know it is “commercial” but the speed differs too much in real life (although it is considered fast on mobile phone). Do you feel cheated?
The video made me re-think to keep Apple iPhone 3G in my wish list or not, well, for 3 seconds. I’ll still get an iPhone 3G if it is available and affordable for me. It is just so cool!

Agree with AhTim. Most of Apple products are irresistable, just like its fruit
Liew, any ideas when the iPhone 3G checks into the Msian market?

I would prefer getting the original one, if it is near RM1000 while the fake one may be RM400-RM500.
Hehe LiewCF, we know you could afford it … I am considering getting an iPod Touch also, but in Malaysia it costs about RM1400 for the 8GB one, I think.
Now considering buying a 2nd hand iPod Touch or iPhone from eBay.

Not only should you think twice about that commercial, you should think twice about purchasing the iPhone. I have been an owner of both the iPhone and iPhone 3G and have been very very unhappy with the speed of both.
In all my time with either iPhone or the 3G version, the phone has never come close to performing that fast, even when connected to WiFi. The commericial is a complete lie. I travel quite a bit for work and have yet to get GPS to work in Cinncinati, Columbus, or Indianapolis.
Apple should go to court for false advertising
