gdgt weeklyThe iPhone 3G S leads the discussion this week and Ryan starts by saying that “Apple hasn’t fixed some of the core problems that have plagued the iPhone since the beginning.”  There are some things that Ryan likes about it and his impressions are positive overall.  He does say that it isn’t worth an upgrade for 3G users.

The Kindle DX get some middling opinions here as well.  It sounds like it is just a little big big and slightly too heavy to be a completely comfortable reading experience.  The guys also have some problems with the way it formats text which sounds to be a problem when reading novels.

Nokia’s N97 fairs the worst here.  The specs make it sound like a great device, but in practice, it just isn’t a very usable device.

There’s a glut of new gadgets rolling out over the next couple of weeks, so you know what that means: time for some hands-ons. We’ve got first impressions of some the iPhone 3G S, naturally, but we’re just as stoked that Amazon’s new Kindle DX made its way into our grubby mitts, as did Nokia’s new N97. Summer blockbuster gadgets? Yeah, we can get behind that kind of a trend.
