Mobile Magazine has the story – not confirmed – that O2′s exclusivity will end in October. Sadly this is for the older 3G model – O2 will keep the new 3GS to itself.
Whilst good news for those on a budget (the other networks are likely to undercut the current O2 price plans), the 3GS is noticeably snappier than the 3G and has three great new features
- taking videos – surprisingly good quality
- setting the camera’s exposure, focus and white balance by tapping an area of the screen
- compass – which will soon come into its own with augmented-reality apps.
Not that these justify a business purchase, but we are all consumers in the evenings.
