The reason iPhone 3GS retains the exact same design as the 3G is due to compatibility with Accessories and more specifically cases. There iPhone platform is the most accessory rich platform, and keeping the same design saves a lot of people a lot of money.
People that have wanted visible hardware change do not yet grasp the platform aspect of the iPhone. Looks my be important for some and for short time but low price, commonality and capabilities are what counts.

If the iphone does not have the specific feature that you need, like FM or BT file transfer, go somewhere else and stop whining in here. The rest of us do not see BT file transfer as important as you do. OK.

The iPhone 3GS is not bad. I hate all previous iPhones and the way Apple tie you down but this new model is catching up with the rest.
Anyway on a different note, it's true what they say about iPhone users.

I've had my iphone 3gs for 3 days now. So far so good. I'm liking it a lot. My only complain is, wifi does not seem to work as good as the iphone 3g that I had. Well, let me say that it does not work, period. It's like having no wifi at all. I am not exaggerating. I called Apple tech support yesterday and the guy adviced me to reset the network settings, which I did. Haven't tested it out yet after the reset, so I don't know if that fixed my problem. Other than that, I am very happy with the upgrade. Internet browsing is faster. The screen is actually more responsive. Who would've thought they could still improve on that. And the new coating on the screen is really nice. It's smoother to the touch, and it really is fingerprint and smudge resistant. The screen stays clean longer. I am not exaggerating on this one either. As for those saying that it overheats. Don't believe them. It does not. They're probably playing with their iphone for longer than normal period of time. Any device would turn hot if you use it for extended periods. I don't because I already had the 3g before my 3gs. So I am not like those 1st time iphone buyers who cannot seem to give their iphones a rest for Pete's sake. And oh, the map is awesome. Also, the video camera takes really good videos on close distance. The audio capture quality on videos taken is quite impressive. I'm sticking with the iphone. And haters, deal with it. No one is forcing anyone to buy the iphone. People have a choice. Don't be bitter that we chose the iphone over your favorite device :)

Since the iPhone 3GS is the first iPhone to come with the iPhone OS 3.0 factory preinstalled, we'll most definitely have a detailed look in this review at the changes it brings about - no matter that iPhone 2G and 3G have both received the update for free.
But wen i am trying to updat is telling it is not free could you plese let me know..

no video call because there is no camera at the front. this is what im pointing out, they did not maximize the whole potential of the big display by not putting a 2nd camera on the front.
IMHO, the only advantage of the iphone (any model) is the big, revolutionary (then) touch screen and the proprietary OS (more on the looks).
featurewise, it fell short to all smartphones out there, even those that are on the lower price bracket.
