Why should you get iphone 3G from Maxis while it is leftover stock?

I said so because Apple going to release the new iphone 3G(s) on 19 June 2009. The price of iphone 3G 8gb is now changed price from USD199 to USD99, i am wondering what is the person thinking if they just bought it yesterday...While maxis still hot selling it in the shopping mall and my friend who went to their exhibition, they sales person told her if they buy it now, Maxis would do the free upgrade to them?
Ya, right! Free upgrade from the firmware 2.2.1 to 3.0, but not the HARDWARE!
Meaning the Iphone 3G you just bought from maxis is still Iphone 3G, and I don't believe Maxis willing to spend money and do the free upgrade for you.


Anyway, what is the main different between iphone 3G and iphone 3Gs or 3G(s)
Both of them looks the same, feel the same...features not same!

Based on the different...i feel it is not really attract people to upgrade their iphone 3G to iphone 3G(s), the main different between it:


1) Iphone3G(s) come with build in compass (unless you always go for jungle trakking, or you like chinese "Feng Shui", then this would be useful for you)


2) Build-In Camera from 2megapixels to 3megapixels plus autofocus....well....frankly to say the quality of the iphone still sucks especially lack of flash-light. The upgrade might be quite useless while the picture is larger but blurry....Autofocus...still not sure how it works, due to the size of the len, you can make the assumption of what would be its best quality.



3) Improved Performance (this could be the only main key point to consider, while they changed the processor, few seconds lack is not an issue for me....).



4) The hard disk size (Unless you going to install a lot of craps into it, or put many video......). Never forget that there is a limit number of application you can install into your iphone, for the existing firmware 2.2.1, the number of app is 144. The latest firmware 3.0 will be able to support up to 176.


5) Video recording (For those who did the jailbreak, video recording was available last year through third party video recording app, if this come from official apple firmware, the video quality might be better?)


Lastly, i not sure whether they will included the "BLUETOOTH" feature since they didn't mention about it...If you, it can overcome by install the "iBluetooth"(jailbreak only)
