Apple 3G iPhone: TV ad vs. the real world

I was curious about the new 3G iPhone and searched the internet for some user reviews. The new iPhone is in the shops for 2 months now. That's a good period of time to check what people think about it. The hype is over and as a buyer you had enough time to find out what you like or dislike about the 3G iPhone.

There is one point most buyers point to: the speed of the internet connection.
Apple advertised the 3G iPhone with the slogan: Twice as fast. Half the price.
Twice as fast doesn't means fast, it just means half as slow as the old iPhone. Check out this video:



Nevertheless I still think the iPhone is a nice, flashy piece of technology and I would like to have one. Maybe Santa Claus puts one for me under the christmas tree!
