Despite its stylish iPhone-like design, the iXpand 3G is best avoided due to its sub-par battery performance.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (iPhone)

The success of a GTA port for the iPhone was always going to rest on the implementation of good controls. Rockstar has quite a ways to go before it masters this aspect on the iPhone platform.
