Ok so of course this title raises eye brows. But I'm not missing the functionality of my 3Gs as opposed to my 4S. I'm missing the form factor. I loved the iPhone 3Gs form factor (really the 3G) as well as the iPhone 4 form factor. There was just something about to 3G I miss anyone else feel this way?

I didn't miss it at all when I went from the 3GS to the 4 and still don't. Just invest in a case that gives your 4S a more rounded look. I think the Speck CandyShell case as rounded edges which might help you with the form factor.

I'll admit that the older devices feel better in your hands. But the 4/4s just looks way to beautiful.

Don't miss the 3G/3GS, love the 4 form factor.

Different strokes, for different folks.

Well I fixed my problem Griffey makes domed cases. Went to my local best but here in the DC area purchased one for 20 bucks and walla feels just like my 3Gs sort of but really close. Slides in my
Pocket just like it did and feels the same.

My cousin has that same thought process. He likes the 3GS form factor better than the 4. He's no longer my cousin.

sell it!

If your missing your 3GS sell your iPhone 4! You could buy a few 3GS for what you can sell it for! I sold an iPhone 4 to iRepairFast and made almost 300$ Check them out iRepairFast

Honestly. If a 3GS form factor came out with a retina display, I'd probably buy it. As beautiful as the iPhone 4 design it, I like something that fits in my hand better than the way it looks.

I love the iPhone 4 form factor better than the 3GS. A few friends have/had them and I prefer mine (not counting the retina display.)
