A lineup this long can only mean one thing. A new model of the iPhone has just gone on sale. Yes, Apple has released the iPhone 3Gs this morning and people were clamouring to get their hands on it. Just check out this lineup outside Apple’s New York flagship store. A few hundred people waited outside in the light rain to be one of the first to get their hands on the spec-bumped phone.
So what’s new with this phone? Two colours are now available, black and white. The phone is up to two times faster than the previous iPhone 3G, which means you can launch apps and websites quicker. A new camera (3 megapixel instead of 2) which can also shoot video. You also get voice control and a built-in compass.
The new phones will be available this morning at Rogers stores across Canada. Two price points have been announced, $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model. You will also be able to purchase the phone without a contract, but be prepared to shell out a lot of cash. $699 for the 16GB model and $799 for the 32GB model. Ouch!
Is it worth upgrading to? Watch for my full review next week on Breakfast Television!
wow they couldn’t wait one more day for a smaller lineup, apple must be doing well lol

I missed your segament on Flip Phones. I’ve hunted all over the BT site, including video, and can’t find where you talked about it and gave your recommends.
Yes, this is a pity email — can you please, even in brief format — give me your opinion on them and your recommend? Thanks.
Even if you can’t/won’t be able to do this, I still really appreciate your Gadget segments on BT. Very informative and fun.
