Apple iPhone 3G S Deficiencies

The iPhone 3G S has been making its way through all of your grubby hands and most people have been very impressed with the speed improvements. There are hundreds of time tables out their detailing how many tenths of a second faster the 3G S loads your favorite blog page than just the plain old iPhone 3G. We have to say ourselves that we definitely love saving that extra 1.7 seconds in loading up our page.
But is the 3G S all roses? We have to put on our Scrooge hat and say “NO!” It’s not that it isn’t a great phone, but there are a few things we need to see in some future models to totally please us (like that’s ever going to happen):
Camera
3.15 MP is fine and all, but with Samsung and Sony Ericsson soon to release 12 MP camera phones we think Apple could step up a little bit and at least put a 5 MP camera in there.
Memory Card Slot
32 GB is pretty good and it isn’t a big complaint, but a memory card slot would let us keep different packages of data organized and carry around really big files without compromising our media storage.
New Design
Aside from the hardware upgrades there isn’t much new or flashy to the 3G S and what will make us go nuts is a new design update that will make all of our friends jealous.
Better web browsing
While Safari is a strong browser on its own, it does have limitations. Apple needs to address these issues and make it a more full web browsing experience that will rival use on your home PC. Once that happens we’ll definitely be seeing some huge switchovers from other smartphones.
So we don’t mean to be too cranky, but we thought we’d give some balance to all of the 3G S speed drooling and let you know that as bloggers we will need to complain about what we aren’t getting.
