Iphone 3GS

The Iphone 3GS truly is faster than the original Iphone (the 3G). BUT there ARE some negatives for the iphone 3GS

DISLIKES:

When I purchased the white iphone 3GS I truly loved it, it was really fast but after a while and a several days of use I noticed little brown spots on the back of my Iphone,it was visible because of how small they were but after a couple more days there were big golden/brown spots both on the back and front of my Iphone 3GS and when I would plug my Iphone in after 10 minutes my Iphone would be very hot, and even when it wasn’t charging it’d become hot when I would use it after half an hour or so. The overheating of the Iphone was a big minus for me because after a week my the Iphone was filled with brown/golden spots. So it overheats pretty fast. But luckily I got a new one and I’m 5 months in it and no spots! (YET?)

Call quality. I don’t hear ANY change in the call quality with the Iphone 3G and 3GS it’s pretty much the same this disappointed me because the quality for the 3G wasn’t jaw-dropping amazing it was good but not great so I thought Apple would be smart enough to change one of the most obvious things for a phone, but oh well.

New Camera options. I love the fact that you can now record video and EASILY cut and edit videos on the Iphone 3GS. It really is very easy. I also loved the quality of the camera and the high quality. BIG change from apple.

New screen,barely any fingerprints. Apple was smart to change the screen on the Iphone 3GS. If you touch the Iphone 3GS with force you will only leave a tiny spec of a finger print, with the 3G you’ll leave a full finer print. THANK YOU APPLE!

One more thing I love was that if you hold the home button you can tell something to you Iphone3Gs and it’ll do it. (ex: call john doe, then it’ll make a fast call to john doe.)

I also love the speed of it.

Norton AntiVirus

Symantec Norton

I used this anti-virus software before since I heard nothing but good reviews. For an anti-virus software, I think it is pretty good. It is your standard anti-virus software which gives you the option to either scan the whole computer or some chosen parts of your entire system, and when it does scan it also looks for any potential harmful elements like viruses, malwares and spywares. It informs you if a virus is found, and after a few minutes the program comes with a result of the scanning process.



It does like what other programs do, like AVG and McAfee, so I can’t say if it is better than those two. However, even though it scans and removes viruses, it is very slow! When I run it the other programs I run are slowed down, too, causing them to close or crash. There was a time when I was browsing the web on Firefox, and I should have known that the two did not go well together because after a few minutes of running Norton, Firefox suddenly crashed. But, just as I said, it keeps my computer clean from viruses, spywares and malwares. It informs me if a website I’m about to visit can potentially attack my computer. It erases my temporary files, cookies and empties my recycle bin. It frees a lot of my unused disk space, which is something I can do, anyway, using the Disk Cleanup feature available in Windows XP.



Another feature of theirs I like is called the Download Insight, which pops up at the corner of my desktop to analyze everything I download and gives me a report if it is clean or not. Moreover, it gives me a monthly report of the infections and status of my computer. It is a lot more expensive than McAfee and other premium programs, but then again, I am not complaining. One thing you should note is that, it auto-renews your subscription after a year so if you are using it and plan not to use it year later, you should change the subscription length of the program int he setting menu.The only thing I don’t like about it is its large size. It swamps my disk space. All in all, however, I think it is a decent anti virus program which protects my computer.
