Ever since the iPhone 3G was launched, there are all kinds of news and views doing the rounds on the Internet - many of them complaints about the new generation iPhone. And this time, Thomas Hawk, a photographer and blogger from US penned down his view of the iPhone 3G, provocatively titled as `Top Five Reasons not to upgrade to the New iPhone 3G’.

 

The iPhone 3G is scheduled to launch in India on 22nd August. According to Hawk, his experience with the iPhone 3G has been similar to that of the first generation iPhone, and upgrading to the newer one has just not been worth it. There are various reasons behind him saying so. However, Hawk's listed out his top 5 reasons for the same.

 

First, "AT&T's 3G network sucks," said Hawk. One of the main reasons to upgrade to the new iPhone is for the supposedly faster speeds associated with the 3G network. But unfortunately, the page loading speed of the 3G connection is hardly better than the old Edge network.

 

Second, battery life. This is the most common reason for complaint among iPhone 3G users, and Hawk finds it poor too.

 

The next reason is WiFi. It is almost ubiquitous now, and will continue to be more and more available over the next two years, or so believes Hawk. While using WiFi, the new iPhone really has no advantage in terms of Internet speeds over the old iPhone. So, there will be really no need for 3G in the next few years.

 

The last two reasons are no free SMS messages and $10 more per month for the data plan.
