Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

By Kent German and Joseph Hanlon on 01 July 2009

Even substantial concerns about network reception and battery life can't stop us recommending the iPhone 3GS. The combination of its fantastic browser, the full-featured iPod media player and Apple's App Store forms a compelling trio and are together unmatched by the competition.

    It does everything you could possibly want it too. Apps are amazing, it looks great and no matter how hard other phones try there still not an iphone!

    • Good: Everything about it is good
    • Bad: Nothing!

    i just totally love it. I just wish my parents would say the same thing.

    • Good: it has basically EVERYTHING!!
    • Bad: is it all really worth it if you're just a student or highschool kid?

    to people about battery if there is alot of battery,the battery will be bigger which need more space, it ,if it need more space it will become a tubby phone and alot heavier then it is.suggy get a screen protector. if it had grip it will be really ugly so get a new case instead.the 16Gb i think is a better choice no need for that much memory. Overall its not bad or good it just needs more improvements than the original
    A hope for a major make over. new look, more official software like bluetooth,wifi finder

    • Good: largest phone media,environmental friendly,multi-touch,voice control
    • Bad: price ,cable,no uni-bluetooth software,no flash

    My dad is getting one on Wednesday. He makes a fair few calls a day, sends some texts, and will probably listen to music. He also wants to use the iPod a bit, as well as use the emails.

    Good or bad phone for him? *either way, I'll spend a few hours fiddling with it hehe*

    • Good: Looks amazing, apps are wonderful
    • Bad: Battery life, call quality

    Love it, love it, love it. The best phone ever.

    • Good: does eveything you can think of! (almost anyways)
    • Bad: no flash, bluetooth, bad camera quality, and worse of all..the battery life
