Apple iPhone 3GS

The iphone 3gs may be a few years old but it is still one of the fastest touchscreen phone. Next to the Iphone 4. They did everything right with this phone. But with all the amazingness with this phone there are a few drawback. The battery life likes to die rather fast on you. I have had my 3gs for 2 years and the battery like will keep a charge for maybe 5 hours which is not long at all. And thats in sleep mode. I'm sure if i used it as much as other the battery would be dead even faster. Also It likes to crack right on the bottom where you plug in the charger. Its not really a problem but still you would figure since it's claiming to be the best phone on the market they would do something about the case.

I finally broke down and joined the iPhone fan club. First the bad stuff: I can barely hear voice on this phone. I need to be in a near soundless environment like a church, a library, a deep, birdless forest, or a soundproof capsule to hear anything. As I am rarely in those sorts of places, voice to voice communications is not ideal with this phone. Also, this is a very difficult device to use while driving. Dialing people, accessing your contacts, texting - to execute any of these operations while driving a car takes a high level of skill (which fortunately, I possess). Also, the network is as bad as advertised. The ATT network has simply been choked by all the bandwidth guzzling iPhone users. 3G is a rarity, and when not on wifi, emails trickle in at a pace reminiscent of 1998. I can almost hear my modem hissing and crackling. So why five stars? It's the device. It is so damn awesome. It is the best iPod I've ever owned. Just about the best camera. The most convenient ...

Simply amazing. I only I wish I had purchased one sooner. Basically a laptop in my hand, but can switch between wifi and cellular network for internet. The wealth of applications only helps, and my dependence upon this device grows each day, but rather than being reticent to accept that fact I am embracing it. I have had a Blackberry and it does not even come close to the iPhone.

Just get the iPhone and save yourself the trouble of buying it in six months when you are sick of your other phone.

great phone, great camera, great video, great internet, its a great phone with a shit battery....i still love it and its 32 gigs of black shiney plastic

Ok, so I got the I phone 3gs 32gig 2 weeks ago. What people don't understand, and I didn't understand is how this really isn't a phone..... I mean you can talk on it...but after you get it, you start to realize how this is really the coolest computer you have ever in your hands. I played with it 3 days straight, doing emails on it, looking up deals on the Internets, taking a crap ton of pictures and VIDEO! of my dogs. When I sat down on my computer I actually tried to "flick" the page with the mouse pointer like I had been doing with my I phone and my finger! I had to download an add on for my firefox browser so that I can do that now because it's so nice to be able to do! The Good: *the apps that use gps location are very nice. -yellow book: I can be driving in an unknown city, and type in AutoZone, and it will give me all the auto zones in a 25 nm area, with the ability to call with a tap of a button, get directions on googlemaps with a tap, and even rate it. -goggle ap: go...

What I find different about buying an iPhone as opposed to any other phone is that it's a unique experience. I queued outside the Apple store in Leicester's Highcross shopping centre eagerly awaiting the store to be opened. There were only 5 or 6 people in front of me, and about as many behind me as well by the time they opened the doors. Instead of letting everyone through the doors in one go they actually let 3 people in at a time so that they could be given their full attention - everyone outside who hadn't made it through in the first batch was served tea and coffee whilst we waited. After 15 minutes of waiting I was finally in, sitting down, and giving them my details in order to start a new contract with O2. The whole order process took about 30 minutes and after that rather than being shuffled out the door they lead you over to the Genius bar to get your phone activated. The initial stage of the activation didn't take too long, probably because I'd gotten in early enough to bea... Read more

The iPhone has really been a phenomenon that has changed what people expect out of their portable phones. The 3GS is the latest addition to the iPhone line. I'll update this review when I get my hands on one. The new iPhone has a somewhat better camera, and can record video. The camera has been one of the things that bothers me the most about the 3G version of the phone, so that's very helpful. The real bonus is that the 3GS has a processor that's twice as fast -- I used to love upgrading my computer back when an upgrade would get you a 2X speed bump like that. I run a lot of apps on my iphone, so I'm expecting a similar improvement. A lot of new stuff has been added to OS 3.0 of the iPhone, and people with older versions of the phone will be able to enjoy that. Looks like Apple has another hit on its hands.
