The complete roundup of all you ever needed to know about the Apple iPhone 3GS and iPhone OS 3.0.

Apple iPhone 3GS

CNET Asia rating: 8.3 out of 10

The good: Finally has common cell phone features like multimedia messaging, video recording, and voice dialing; runs faster; promised battery life is longer; multimedia quality continues to shine.

The bad: Call quality shows no improvements; 3GSignal reception remains uneven; still don't get Flash Lite, USB transfer and storage, or multitasking.

The bottom line: The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
