I have an iPhone 3G for 2 years now and I am excited about the upcoming iPhone 4. I must admit that using the 3G has drastically changed how I access all my internet services. I do feel that it is running slow, but it can still do the job.
Apple is releasing iOS4 just days before the release of the new iPhone 4. I should say that I am disappointed with this because I would have preferred to use iOS 4 on my iPhone 3G for a longer period. I know I can just hold on to my 3G and just purchase the iPhone 4 later. However, I only realized this after preordering the iPhone 4. I guess I was one of the lucky ones who ordered the phone successfully before the big preordering problem.
I am aware that multi-tasking will not be available for the 3G, but that’s not the only big thing for thew new mobile OS. I can take advantage of the Folders feature. I have so many apps right now that I have about five pages. I have already trimmed this down from nine before. At present, I organize my apps by page. The first page are the essential stuff I use, the second page is for social networking, the next is for image manipulation, and the rest are for games. Having Folders will greatly reduce the pages and help me organize may apps better.
Unified inbox is also a good feature. I have many accounts I check and I always have to drill down and climb up the tree just to check my e-mails. With the unified inbox, I can easily read them all and delete whichever I don’t want.
There are tons of features on iOS 4 that even an iPhone 3G user can take advantage of. I just wish I had a little more time with my 3G to play with the new upgrade.
Who am I kidding? I’m just excited that I’ll be getting the iPhone 4 soon. Whoever gets my 3G can play with iOS4 all they want while I multi-task and do Facetime with my new iPhone 4.
