  Amazing phone, would have paid $200, but can't beat $99

  Cons: Not very personable

  Summary: I love this phone. I've owned Blackberry phones for about 4 years, and decided to buy a Droid from Verizon. I returned it within a couple weeks because the battery life was just terrible. They told me all smart phones with apps, games, touch screens, etc would have terrible battery life, but I needed a phone that I could rely on to be able to make a phone call at the end of the day. If I wanted a laptop for a phone, I would have bought a...wait a second, I already have a laptop, I want a cell phone!
  
  So I paid $200 to get out of Verizon and get an iPhone, and I love it! I have been at work for 6 hours today, and my battery is at 98%. I even have ios 4, which supposedly has worse battery life for the 3GS. But I have read about 10 emails, gone on gchat, played Words with friends with 4 friends, checked facebook, played chess, and still only down 2%! This is even comparable to my blackberry, that "had internet" but by the time the page loaded I didn't need it anymore.
  
  All the apps are great. This thing is amazing. Oh, except you have to pay to make your own ringtones, which is always something I enjoyed being able to do for free on a Blackberry (edit song in GarageBand, export as MP3, send via bluetooth, and viola). But that's the ONLY negative about the iPhone.
  
  And for those of you with ios 4 on 3GS with battery problems, I restored the phone from iTunes as a new phone after the AT&T rep set it up, and I make sure to quit applications if I've got like 15 open. Otherwise, I don't have to think twice about the battery!

  Had for 5 months now, and still the best phone ever! I didn't charge it last night and the battery only went down 2%. I don't think I'll ever get tired of it because there's always new apps and software upgrades! I do like how the iPhone 4 looks, and could use a front facing camera for Skype, but I think this is the first phone I will actually keep until my contract is up :)

  Summary: This is my first touch screen smartphone and I can say I have not been disapointed. I was going to get the iphone 4, but it has a lot a junk that I really don't need like facetime, I really don't need to see who I'm talking to. Overall I'm very happy with this phone

  Purchased refurbished in May 2010 for $29 CDN

  by ChuckBartowski on August 18, 2011

  Pros: - Inexpensive (cost me 29 bucks!)
  - Integrates seamlessly with iTunes.
  - Mobile internet on a 3.5" screen is awesome

  Cons: - Slow.
  - A little too cute looking for this guy.

  Summary: So I got it from Fido in May 2010. It ran okay, then I updated the iOS in July. Ran like crap for a month. Then someone emailed S. Jobs ...

  Summary: So I got it from Fido in May 2010. It ran okay, then I updated the iOS in July. Ran like crap for a month. Then someone emailed S. Jobs about this issue that summer and weeks later Apple had released the update in late August which I downloaded, installed on my iPhone and behold - it fixed the issue. Why can't Microsoft ever do anything like that??? Any-hoo, it could be faster, but it's an old model now. Looking to replace it with a phone worthy of a man: a Blackberry.

  At the time of purchase,this was the best phone.05/2010

  by OttoZro on February 22, 2011

  Pros: Excellent touch screen, web browsing, music player, camera, apps and texting made VERY easy.

  Cons: Gee what I don't (and what I didn't like at the time of purchase) is the Monthly Service plan for unlimited Talk, Text, Data... was like 99.99-199.00 I also hate longer term contracts.. notice this has nothing to do with Apple but with AT&T.

  Summary: If you can afford the service, then this is the Best Phone out there hands down (noting the iPhone 4). Truly a great Tech Product :)

  Summary: This is my first iphone and have no real complaints. Coming from other brands such as Samsung, LG, Blackberry...this is by far the best build quality of them all. And as far as touch screens, the iphone has no competitors. The sensitivity and control. Every phone will have little quirks that you wish your phone could do. But I work on a Mac, and this phone just fits right in.

  Summary: It is a good gadget to have, but don't buy it if you would use it as a phone on a regular basis. I love this baby only when I don't make calls; its awful call quality irritates me to no end.

  really really good first smartphone.

  by wallysan31 on August 21, 2010

  Pros: Immense App Store, Really Great Multimedia, Multitasking, Easy to Use Interface, and Good Internet Capability.

  Cons: AT&T Means Fair at best Call quality and 3G speeds, The Screen Res. is a bit outdated due to this being an older model, Plastic is a Fingerprint Magnet, and the phone is locked into iTunes.

  Summary: i owned two multimedia previously then i decided to get an iphone because all my friends had ipod touches and one cost about $200 at least so i bought an iPhone, and it was amazing, the app store, multimedia, it was the best phone i had ever owned. there were problems with it though. Att was my problem because on 3G, internet service wouldnt work that well and call quality was a bit off par as expected due to countless reviews. i did want to buy an iPhone 4 but those weren't in stock and probably will never be back in stock.
