Still rocking a 3GS?

**Xm_jdm** · 03-24-2011, 01:07 PM

Who all is still using a 3GS? Where I live I seem to see far more people using the 3GS (I assume its the 3GS) vs iPhone 4.

I'm still using one and love it. How come you haven't upgraded?

**touchyphone** · 03-24-2011, 05:23 PM

You're from Portland, Oregon. The land of last year. Move to a major city/state, 4's are everywhere in NYC, DC, Los Ang., Chi Town. Upgrade bro, your tech's old. Oh and please remember to "thank me" like see the count go up....

**mikesa_tx** · 03-24-2011, 06:20 PM

I am rocking the 3GS, as well as my brother too.

I haven't upgraded yet cause of money, LOL.

**mlaz14** · 03-24-2011, 07:23 PM

I'm still using the 3G. Couldn't afford to spend $200 to upgrade when the 4 came out and at this point I'm just going to wait for the 5. I wouldn't upgrade every year anyway, I don't need the absolute latest and greatest at all times.

Land of last year. Lol.

I choose to use a 3GS bro.

And I never forget. We both know how important it is to your inflated ego.

What firmware you running on your 3G? Any slow downs or lag?

**Rex_Suggs** · 03-24-2011, 09:03 PM

**Xm_jdm** · 03-24-2011, 09:13 PM

I had an iPhone 4 and thought it was fantastic. Had one at launch and then sold it when I deployed. Got back and ended up with tmobile and unfortunately they can't be unlocked...yet. Still though, my 3GS is great.

4.2.1. It's been the best since I upgraded to ios 4 and it's been so long since I was on 3.1.3 so I don't know if it's slower compared to that. Typing lags sometimes but not bad and some games slowdown a bit but that's probably because it has less ram and stuff compared to the newer ones.

Just bought the iPhone 3GS (January). Couldn't pass up a $49 iPhone. Would love to have FaceTime, but that's all I miss. When the iPhone 4 goes to $49, I guess I'll upgrade.

Why not wait for iphone 5?
You'll have more exciting experience.

LMAO! The 3G is so ancient now right? LOL

**Garz** · 03-25-2011, 10:27 AM

If 3GS had retina, a quality camera, and awesome battery life then I could still see me rock my white one. The 3GS is still a very nice phone though.

**andrewsmith** · 03-26-2011, 10:46 PM

Still rocking a 3GS here in Austin, TX. My girlfriend has had an i4 for a while. Only thing I really like better about it is the retina display. Sure it has it's other perks, but I would never really use facetime, and side by side opening apps the 3GS is only a few seconds behind. Unlike a 3G compared to a 3GS where the 3GS is about 3-5x slower.

I've had an upgrade for a while now...I'm going to wait for i5 to come out so I can brag for a while (or a year).

**dcs3473#im** · 03-27-2011, 12:44 AM

Still rocking in Newark Ohio. Will be waiting for the next one. Still Happy.

**alpinestars1z** · 03-27-2011, 01:42 AM

I still have a 3GS. Switched from a BlackBerry, and I'm on T-Mobile, so all I could afford was a used 3GS from craigslist.

Probably will try to pick up a factory unlocked iPhone 4 or 5 when I visit Australia later this year. Then I won't have to deal with the baseband/firmware thing.

**chobbs1** · 03-27-2011, 02:21 AM

I gave my 3GS to my son. it's still running like a champ!

**user_name** · 03-27-2011, 04:13 AM

I would prefer the iPhone 3GS, than the iphone 4, even though I don't have any iphone.

**Hail Caesar** · 03-27-2011, 05:22 PM

that $49 price is killer for a 3GS, but i am on verizon and live in verizon country, so i see a ton of iphone4

**Xm_jdm** · 03-29-2011, 08:31 PM

With all this talk now of the iPhone 5 being maybe pushed back, anyone considering making the switch to the 4? I just did a few days ago. Found an unlocked one.

Im trying to decide right now. I use my phone a lot. I really want a better screen and camera. Im either jumping to WP7 which I like a lot or picking up a 4.

I love the retina display. I forgot how great it was. I gave WP7 a shot and it was very very lacking. Even with the nodo update.
