bertusgeert 1 #1 February 23, 2010 So my old Go-Phone with 2 yr contract expired last Nov., and i'm looking to upgrade. Should I buy the $99 3G, the $199 3GS (16GB), the $299 3GS (32MB), or should I wait for the 4G (this summer?), see how it compares, and if I don't like it then buy what will then be a cheaper 3GS? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

roostnureye 2 #4 February 24, 2010 get the 3gs, i absolutly love mine, wouldnt trade it for any other phone, its a computer, video camera, sound recorder, music device, gps, alarm clock. damn near does whatever you want. you can even unlock it and not have to pay the lousy data plan fee. craigslist is the cheapest place to get one if you dont want a contractFlock University FWC / ZFlock B.A.S.E. 1580 Aussie BASE 121 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AT&T won't have 4G (LTE) out this year. Rumors of a VZW iPhone running on 4G have been bouncing all over the place, but usually this close to the game there have been more tangible leaks/photos, etc. If you're looking to stay with AT&T, the iPhone has plenty of features. If you're in any major city (NY, Chicago, SF, LA), consider your choice carefully. AT&T has some Android devices on the way (the Motorola Backflip is getting a lot of attention, the HTC Hero). Off contract is a good time to shop around all the carriers. If you're set with the iPhone, I'd go with the 32GB 3GS.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

NickDG 23 #11 February 24, 2010 Julia got an iPhone furnished by her work. On day two she dropped it and the glass shattered. On day three work replaced it with a new one whereupon we found the phone coverage blew chunks. And it's not like we're in Podunk, USA, we're in Los Angeles! A few weeks later, the final verdict is very cool and very worthless . . . Go Droid and be happy! NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some would argue it was to VZWs detriment, but their subscriber rates have more or less kept up with AT&Ts. There were also concerns about the equipment costs, even heavily subsidized it wasn't fitting VZWs model. AT&T and Apple can have and keep each other for all I care.

Here's the skinny of it: If you just want an Iphone and dont give a shit about speed then get the standard Iphone. Once you get into the 3GS you're talking about faster speed but how much memory are you willing to pay for? I have a 3GS 32Gb Because I have a SHITLOAD of music to put on it as well as my Itouch as well as my Nano (no repeating artist BTW). Ok. Whats cheaper with similar functions? The Solstice is about the closest thing you can buy to an Iphone but without the crazy price tag. You will not have access to Apple apps, You will have to buy a memory card to put media on the phone (pretty pricey). Other than that you can get pretty much the same thing, although I cant attest to the Solstice internet speed as I havent tried it. Bottom line: Spend the bucks to get the Iphone 3GS with the memory you can afford and you will be VERY happy with it. The GPS and apps alone make it worth the money.Muff #5048 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
