Hello. I am still trying to decide between the latest iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 3G. I went to a store yesterday to try out the iPhone 3GS. Here is a list of questions:
1. The internet connection was very slow. It took a long time (3-5 minutes) to load a simple webpage. The sales told me that it was because of slow internet connection in the store. It had nothing to do with the iPhone. Is this really true?
2. I downloaded and opened a pdf file. It was difficult to read the contents. Using two fingers, I could zoom-in the document. However, as soon as my figures left the touch screen, the document returned to normal view. The sales said that there was no way to keep the document zoomed-in. He added that it depends on the pdf file. Is this really true? It sounds strange that one has to keep the fingers on the touch screen in order to view the documents in enlarged format.
3. The sales suggested me to get an iPhone rather than an iPod Touch with pay wifi service. He mentioned that with the iPhone, I can get internet connection everywhere (in Hong Kong). However, even with pay wifi service, some places such as trains and buses are not covered. Is this in general true everywhere in the world? When I asked him how much he pays monthly for his iPhone, he just laughed without mentioning the amount.
4. Supposing that there is a wifi connection, is there a speed different in internet access (web browsing for example) when the iPhone is connected through a phone service plan vs. through wifi connection?
Thanks.
