The iPhone 3GS finally adds common cell phone features like multimedia messaging, video recording, and voice dialing. It runs faster; its promised battery life is longer; and the multimedia quality continues to shine.
The iPhone 3GS' call quality shows no improvements and the 3G signal reception remains uneven. We still don't get Flash Lite, USB transfer and storage, or multitasking.
The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

I've had a number of these phones as it was the 1st iPhone model with iCloud and the iPhone 4 is still a big jump in price. Now that they work on
3G with T-Mobile it just saves so much money every
month over AT&T. And you can still get them brand new on eBay. I've also learned to be sure that if you need an unlocked phone to be certain to buy a
factory unlocked phone. Phones unlocked with Cydia
software will SIM lock again if the operating system is ever updated in iTunes. With a factory unlocked iPhone you can update the OS or wipe the
phone and not worry about it locking again. It is permanently unlocked. As this model was AT&T only,
the iPhone 4 was the 1st model ever for Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile, this is only an issue for T-Mobile customers in the US. This model is not compatible with Verizon or Sprint. The original iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS were exclusive AT&T models so when unlocked can only be used on GSM systems such as AT&T or T-Mobile.
the iPhone 3gs is an excellent smart phone for the price, quality, and the overall sturdiness of the phone. It's a very "solid" phone and is a lot neater in my opinion than any droid I ever had. The picture quality is great although there is no flash on this iPhone or front camera. this phone operates on the latest iOS and has great battery life too! I love my iPhone 3gs!
We love the iPhone and we will continue to use them. We are looking to buy two more iPhone's in the future.
This was a gift for my sixteen year son as a means for me to keep track of where he is and what he is doing at all times. We don't talk much but do quite a bit of texting. He was surprised and very excited to get this phone and I believe it was a good investment. I really didn't do any comparing with other products because he has mention that this was what he wanted.
Since the 3GS could be updated to the latest iOS firmware, it was an excellent choice for my sister. She is a missionary in Puerto Rico and needed a durable and affordable phone. this phone has everything she needs.
