It does all the basic phone a smart phone needs to do, gps, e-mail, surf the net, camera, etc. I will continue to order this model as long as my phone service can be received over it because it is easy to use and I don't want to learn to use another model. The newer phones have a few features that might be convenient, but not at the cost of having to learn to use another phone. It is usually at least $100 less expensive than the newer models. I would especially recommend it for youngsters, who are prone to lose or damage their phones.

I received the phone two days before it was due to arrive!! The phone is free from scratches and dents as promised. I really liked this phone for the 1st 3 days!! On the 4th day it started searching for the network & never got reception again!! I took the phone into my carrier to check my sim card and I was told the sim card was good and replaced the sim card to prove it wasn't the sim card and it still kept searching for the network and never connected.

The hardware Industrial design We're just going to come out and say it: the iPhone has the most beautiful industrial design of any cellphone we've ever seen. Yes, it's a matter of taste, and while we imagine some won't agree, we find it hard to resist the handset's thoughtful minimalism and attention to detail. The display The iPhone features the most attractive display we've ever seen on a portable device of this size, by far and bar none. While its 160ppi resolution isn't quite photorealistic, the extremely bright 3.5-inch display does run at 480 x 320, making it one of the highest pixel-density devices around today (save the Toshiba G900's mind-popping 3-inch 800 x 480 display). The screen also provides an excellent outdoor viewing experience. With optical properties reminiscent of transflective displays, the iPhone remains completely readable (if a only bit washed out) even in direct sunlight. Unfortunately, the display's viewing angle left a little something to be desired.

I love the iPhone 3GS. Not only is it simple and easy to use but it has a lot of extra functions and capabilities. The way it can multitask while I use my GPS is incredible. I have not encountered BIG problems. The only thing was that the iPod could sometimes freeze up, but it was nothing a quick reboot wouldn't fix. I loved being able to browse online with it as well as IM, email, and the ability to sift through photos. There was not a big lag in that department either. I never felt that the touch was getting stuck or anything. Overall, it is a GOOD phone. Not the best because I definitely could see a lot more features to it. I guess that's why there's the iPhone 4. =) The only thing I was disappointed in was that after I inputted contacts into my gmail, it was fine and dandy to sync but I noticed that when I added my own contact manually and even though iTunes told me that it synced to my google contacts, I couldn't find it through my gmail contacts. So, I guess I have to manually input it through my contacts. But - no big deal. It is true when they say, "If you need anything, there's an app for that."Read full review
Depending on what you are looking for this phone even though it is several generations old works well, is easy to use and does just what I want. Because I have an IPAD and a PC I wanted to have a phone that would maintain my calendar, contacts, texting and emails across all 3 platforms and the 3GS does it for me. Using ICloud I am able to achieve this. I am not into all the stuff the younger generation(s) want. I just want a good phone with the features I want. I can still utilize several aps that I chose. For what I paid for it on ebay and because I use Consumer Cellular for my phone service...........I'm happy.
