   The one app you didn’t test was Settings, which on the 3G can take as long as 7 seconds to open – sometimes longer. On the 3Gs it opens in less than 2 seconds. Testing has been done in a more scientific environment, and there is no comparison between the two devices, speedwise. The 3G is woefully outdated.

   Yeah, this is no scientific environment I agree, settings app is ever worse…

   What! What is this mockery! My poor iPhone. Don’t you need some sort of consent before doing things like that? That’s it I’m upgrading…contract up or not!

   Actually, whats the firmware on the other iphone? Because I am running 3.0 on the normal 3g and doing it at the same time as you for the most part.

   Maybe I will post a response video. Or maybe someone else can. I am even running a theme at the same time. The i’Elegance theme.

   The only thing I got beat on was photo’s and ipod.

   Think you need to redo this video.

   It is on 3.0….and I would have to disagree. Every iPhone 3G S that I have seen is much faster than my iPhone 3G which is on firmware 3.0.

   I will have to see it to believe it!

   

   Douglas on June 22nd, 2009 11:26 am:

   I completely disagree. Brooke’s iPhone is running 3.0 firmware and was only jailbroken the night before. I will take on any previous iPhone. The 3G is Waaaaay faster.

   My iPhone 3G is exactly the same speed as Brooke’s. I opened the apps at the same time as you and mine and Brooke’s always opened at the same time.

   Maybe it is just my iPhone…we have three others…maybe we should test all five iPhones. Actually, only four of them are on 3.0…maybe we should do a test between all four!

   Wow, i thought that the iphone 3G was pretty fast on opening those apps. I am on the iPod Touch 1st gen though

   The jailbreak makes that test entirely irrelevant.

   Agreed. Get a 3G with stock OS 3.0 and re-do the test. I’m sure the 3G S will still be faster, but at least your results will be more relevant.

   hen again she has her dock “hidden” which takes winterboard which takes RAM which the iphone 3g has less of already so this is kinda an unfair test. Im actually realy to see how the 3gs will work once i have my 500 mods on it taking away from its copious amount of RAM. Do one of these tests bc im still torn as to or not to go and buy one….

    Off topic, but where are the emoticons for 3GS?

    I can’t find them!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

    brooke on June 22nd, 2009 12:01 pm:

    Yep, just go into the App Store and install Spell Number. Doug has emoticons on his 3G S.

    

    AveSharia on June 22nd, 2009 12:03 pm:

    Wait, that’s not the topic?

    

    Douglas on June 22nd, 2009 12:04 pm:

    This is true but mine carried over from my sync and restore. You do use spell number. just install it, type in this number: 91929394.59 and then activate in the keyboard settings. I’ll do a full post about it soon.

    

    Steve on June 22nd, 2009 12:15 pm:

    Thanks a bunch.

    I tested my Iphone 3G along your video and it ranked between the 3GS and Brook’s phone, well it all depends on how many apps you have installed on the phones and photos etc etc
