The inability to transfer music, images, etc. via Bluetooth was an initial restriction on the hacked iPhone 3GS; the hackers have since found a way around it with an app for Bluetooth (iBluetooth ?).
On the regular iPhone 3GS there is no problem to Macs, PCs, netbooks via iTunes /MobileMe or to broader audiences via the means mentioned above.

Is the 4G due out soon, the 3GS only arrived on market second half of 2009.

I personally think that overall the iPhone is way ahead of its competitors, even with a pretty rubbish camera and all that.
I have to agree. Its just so easy to use. Expensive though.
I was in the same position. I had an iPod Touch, so wanted a different phone. I got a palm pre and I love it. You can run multiple applications at the same time, and no bluetooth problems.The OH has the iPod Touch so when it came to getting a new phone, she didn't want to double up and get the iPhone and ended up getting one of the nokia attempts after trying all the others out.
She hates it (the nokia). Even after just having the touch, she can't believe how awkward it is to use the comptetitor's versions.
...The camera although only 3mp is also great. The tocco I had was 5mp but the pictures on the iPhone come out far clearer.
I dunno how you managed that. It should be impossible. The Tocco has autofocus, whereas the 3G doesn't. That said the 3G camera seems one of the better non autofocus camera's. The current model the 3GS has autofocus.
http://fosfor.com/iphone-3g-camera-vs-3gs-camera That said I have a Nokia E71 which has a 3.2 mp auto-focus camera and its a shockingly bad camera. Just the worse ever. I only mention the bluetooth, because swaping photos, documents, ringtones, MP3's etc is something I've found very handy. The App store works brilliant, especially if you've tried the Ovi store, Nokia's version. That terrible. However while theres a few good apps on the Apple app store there are 1000's of bad ones. But at least theres loads of apps to try.
