iPhone

[Dylan]

i want to get a new phone and i need some help deciding what i should do. i want an iphone, but i don't know what would be the best option. Should I...

1) buy the cheaper iphone 3gs and wait until the iphone 5 comes out and see if it has a good upgrade. if it isn't worth it, i'll trade in the 3gs for a cheaper iphone 4.

-so much trade-ins, don't know if it's worth the bother.

2) don't buy any iphone, and wait until possibly september when the iphone 5 comes out and decide then if i should get the cheaper iphone 4 or new iphone5.

-if i choose this option and september comes, but the iphone 4 isn't any cheaper or i can't get it in 16GB model, i might kick myself.

3) just fuckin buy the iphone 4 now and shut up about it.

so should i get the 3GS for cheap now, the iphone 4 now, or nothing and wait for the 5? it's quite the conundrum.

I have an iPhone 3GS it works perfectly fine.. and as far as I've read the iPhone 4 isn't that much better.. I'd go for an iPhone 3GS if you need one now.

Don't know what the iPhone 5 has to offer but I don't think it will totally rape the 3GS.. it'll probably have a better camera and stuff like that..

If I were you I'd watch newest south park episode about apple and then forget the whole thing. But if I have to choose between those three I'd say wait till iPhone 5 is out, it's not that far away and from what I've heard it's pretty coolmastah.

iPhone 4 is amazing, the 5 wont be that much better, if I were you I'd go for the 4.

from what i've read, which is mostly rumours, is the the iphone 5 maybe just a little upgrade from the 4. like you said, one rumour is an 8 megapixel camera, it might had a different back instead of glass.

does the 3GS run the new iOS 4.whatever that the iphone 4 runs?

I think mine runs on 4.3.. unless I'm looking at the wrong thing..

I made the mistake of buying the 3G right before the iPhone 4 came out and it got outdated so quickly. It's now unusable with all the new software only the iPhone 4 can handle.

DO NOT go for the 3GS.

DO NOT.

so i phone the company and these are my options:

1) wait until im 19 and i can sign a new contract with a new phone. this will be in October, so the new iphone 5 will probably be out by then.

2) buy an iphone at full price and use my current SIM card in that phone. problem: im stuck buying a 3gs because the iphone4 uses a micro-sim card and my current one won't fit.

fuck it. i think ill go for option 2. is $ 549 dollars justifiable for this phone?

I really don't know, it's really a lot of money. I paid around 200$ for mine, and if I had to, I would make the same choice again. If you're talking about the 3GS, 549$ is way too much money, you can still cut your sim card to make it work with the i4.

[Dylan]

fuck off! really?

Don't know if It actually works, but I wouldn't even try it..

And yeah the price you mentioned is a good price

You need to upgrade the OS version, you know? Only little amount of apps don't work with 3GS.

I'd say 3GS all the way. The 4 looks awful, and aside from the better cameras, it isn't much of an upgrade imo. Dislike.
5 is rumoured to be just like 4 with only little upgrades, so why bother.

appearance is all subjective. personally, if they go to some kind of aluminum back design that is similar to the ipod touch i think it would look great. also, its rumoured to have an 8 MP camera, which would be sweet. clearer resolution is nice. but like you say, is it worth it? we'll have to see.

anyways, i believe i've found a guy over kijiji that will sell his 16GB 3GS to me for $300 tomorrow. it is in great chape and completely unlocked so i will be able to put my current normal sized SIM card and use it.

Don't buy iphone cos all the extra features you will get fired of in like a week, get some cheap shit nokia or something

Well, (not to sound like a gay apple fanboy) ..the iPhone 4 has double the resolution of 3GS, sexy ass camera as you mentioned, enhanced movement detection, 40% increase in battery life, HD video, and a camera in the front, so its a pretty big step from the 3GS.

I'd get the iPhone 4, because as Tomi said the iPhone 5 will more than likely just be the iPhone4 - version 2. lol

thats the thing though, when 5 comes out it'll maybe have a faster processor (A5 like the ipad2) and maybe a few cool features. but if it isn't much of an upgrade, why buy the iphone 4 now when it'll go down in price once the new one comes out? thats what i think i'll do eventually.

i should have gotten the iphone4 6 months ago...

[gejmik]

I've got an iPhone 3GS, and I'd say that iPhone 4 is amazing, but 3GS is better for its price.. I mean.. it's almost the same and it costs much less.

Sorry for the late answer, but yeah, if you cut your sim card well it should work, can't remember where i saw that, but it seems that the chip is the same for the normal sim and the micro sim
