dont waste your money on a 3GS. spend the extra $100 for the iPhone 4. the display is worth the $200 itself. the cam/video is great, its so fast, just better all around.

have you had the chance to mess with an iPhone 4?

I'm with Yanki, if you're not going to get the 4, you might as well just buy the 2G. The difference between the 3GS and 4 is massive. Once you get used to the screen, all other mobile devices look like garbage, the camera is great as I've shown before, it has twice the memory so it can handle multitasking better, the battery life is significantly better, the speakers are better...etc etc.

and free cases. I'm getting a refund for my bumper, I ordered a free one via the case app, a friend is giving me his free bumper and I ordered a free case 2 days after the iPhone 4 came out.

as much as I want this iPhone naked, I can't. I care too much for it.

I actually dislike the way it feels without a case. Compared to my 3G, I just couldn't get a comfortable feeling while playing games with it, the edges are too sharp. With a bumper however, it feels great.

You don't want white. I've seen the white bumpers and after 1 week of use, they're no longer white.

I had bought an orange bumper when I ordered the phone. It arrived a couple weeks ago just before they announced the free bumper/case crap. Hated it. Feels like ____. Fits loose and is half rubber and half hard plastic. Fail.

So I got my refund for it but still didn't use it. I figured eBay market was dead for them since Apple was giving everyone cases... not so much. Sold it for $40 on eBay a couple days later (ya, it was $30 new).

So I basically got $40 for free since I had been refunded for the bumper from Apple. Win.

No I haven't. I'm planning for the iP4, but have read that AT&T can't fully support the 4. So I was going to look into getting a 3gS at a cheap cost so I wouldn't be locked in a contract with AT&T until they could fully support the 4G network. Figured by that time another iPhone will have came out or be coming out soon enough.

what can they not support? its not running on 4G and whether you buy the 4 or 3GS, your still locked in a 2yr contract.

^ That.

The iPhone 4 is not 4G as in 4th generation of wireless network (like the EVO). It is just the 4th generation of iPhone. So AT&T supports it just fine... well, just fine for AT&T anyway.

And the 3GS is cheaper, but still is on contract unless you nab one off of eBay or something. I sold my 3GS for $275 on eBay when I got my iP4. That was for the 16GB... so expect prices in that neighborhood if you buy outright - only then would you not have a contract.

as much as i loved my 3GS for the year i had it over my original iPhone before and my moms 3G (painfully slow), there's no doubt knowing now how much better the 4 is over all of the iPhones that its the obvious choice. being its the newest of the pack, the 4 is the best choice. if money is an object, save the extra $100 or whatever more you need for the 4. its on a whole different level than the 3GS now. i sold my 16GB 3GS for $290 a couple of weeks ago.

ive convinced 3 people from work who for whatever dumb reason, they just bought the 3GS from att all during this past week. idk if att's pushing the 3GS more than the 4 because they have non in stock but i told them to return it. after playing with mine, they've done so and have been put on a waiting list and should get their iPhone 4 sometime next week.

oh no i wasn't going to go threw AT&T for a new 3gS, at that rate you may as well get the 4. I saw that the 3gS still had a 2-year contract on it an that cancelled out that option. I also looked at eBay to see what they were going for and at that price point I'd go with the 4 as well. Now if I somehow come across a 3gS for $100 w/o contract I'll give it serious thought into to picking it up; doubt that will arise though. I won't be able to get it until late this year/early next so I have time.

Jailbreak for the 4 is out.

Once I get home from work, I'm backing up my phone and jailbreaking it. 3G facetime, facetime with other phones, no subscription tethering, etc.

Next time, understand the differences between the phones before you try to try to join the conversation. It would also help if you knew how to speak English, that way everyone could understand what you're trying to say.
