G3 Vs G4, what is the best?

[Pepez]

Hi Guys,
I just bought a Italian S200 but it is SPL 2.09.0000 (so I think G3).
I have the chance to take it back to the shop and try to buy another one (maybe G4).
What is the best thing to do?
Is better have a G4 or G3?


Thanks!!!

G3/G4 specifies the type of DOC (DiskOnChip) flash memory installed in the phone. I have had experience with both as my JAMin originally had a G3 DOC but got a G4 DOC as part of main-board replacement. From the user's point of view it makes no difference which type is installed. For the more curious "hacker" it makes some difference as a phone with the G4 flash memory complicates life a bit with regards to unlocking, downgrading etc.

Thanks!!!
But if all the new models have an G4, this means that in the future the last roms will be only for that DOC (DiskOnChip)?

digifan, it depends on what you want - the latest - or - the most hackable. G3 seems to be the most hackable from what I can tell.

so G3 is easy to update rom or do anything, isn't it ?
