Apple iPhone 3G S

Cokecandaz24 July 2009

I have the second and this phone is the best ever gadget

ahmed25 July 2009

bluetooth is still a big issue with the new i phone 3gs

Gadgetemz27 July 2009

It looks amazing and i really desperately want it but it is a bit over-expensive for my budget, if it was maybe £300 it would be more reasonable.

Johnny Boy28 July 2009

I agree with Gadgetemz- £550 quid for a phone?! I'm sorry, but I'll need to wait for the revolution to come down in price.

Thomas31 July 2009

Its only that much if you buy it unlocked.

BEST GADGET

Badboyroach02 August 2009

I never go out with out it it is the best gadget in th wolrd

Sh0cker03 August 2009

Samsung I8910 HD is a better phone, pretty disgusting it wasnt show on there lastest show during the touchscreen comparision, it's been out for over a month. It's bascially what the n97 should have been.

JWSP03 August 2009

Even when free on contract its still a bit pricy!!! :-( so want this!

bigred172203 August 2009

i have the 2nd gen its the best iv had i want the new one but i will not be held to ransom by apple and o2 its just too expensive to change just now i will need to wait till my contract ends

Dean Leigh04 August 2009

Tried Apple iPhone 3G S and HTC Touch Pro II - Settled for Touch Pro II. The iPhone is fine for frivoulous stuff but the Touch Pro II is a serious business phone with the option to add the silly apps. To be honest I'm also sick of Apple drip feeding standard functionality like copy and paste, video or A2DP bluetooth steareo that I have on my 5 year old HTC XDA II.

_sibby_04 August 2009

I bought mine yesterday for 87 quid !!! after terrible trouble finding a shop that had any black ones in stock

Jacob04 August 2009

Im getting it soon and it looks amazing

Connorg3505 August 2009

its too expensive go for a cheaper phone (the better idea)

gadget master10 August 2009

i really want this phone, but ive got 3 questions. if ur not using wi-fi internet, do the other connections cost, does it have a camera in the front and does it have bluetooth?

jambo_game_kill13 August 2009

i cant wait 2 play with it in the aple stors

jambo_game_kill13 August 2009

its realy expencive

Paul Swift15 August 2009

I've tried a 3GS, moving from an HTC Touch HD and I'm afraid the Apple loses hands done. I use a phone for sat nav frequently and, although Apple are using this as a selling point, its only A-GPS and is very very poor, just take a look at the number of complaints on the Apple forums about it. I also found general reception for phones and internet quite poor, often losing a signal where I know for a fact other phones are fine on the same carrier. Emails are a problem too as it doesn't synch unless you have a Google, Exchange or Yahoo account, the Hotmail support is laughable and only one way, no sync and there's no Push yet, just timed checking which is okay. There's still a lack of multi tasking as well. Although its a lovely thing and the screen + processor response is fantastic to use, when you get down to what you need it for, it's still a generation away. I've gone back to my HTC which, while having a slower response, has a much better camera, multi-tasking and a range of sat nav solutions that all work very well. I'm not just knocking this, I tried really hard for two weeks to get on with this, buying any app that looked like it would get around the problems only to find in the end I couldn't live with a phone that lost the signal more often and not, didn't get emails properly and couldn't be used for sat nav what-so-ever. I miss the screen responsiveness which made the onscreen keyboard great to use but I think Apple have sacrificed phone, internet and GPS performance for the sake of an improved battery (over the 3G). I'd rather have to charge it more and have it working all the time. I also think they expect everyone to have constant access to wifi, like in the States, which we don't have here. If the next model addresses some of these things, I'll give it another try.

Martyn 16 August 2009

I spent an age agonising over should I buy the iphone 3GS & I'm glad to say it's 1000x better than I could have imagined, the word phone in iphone is degrading to its vast talents. I now firmly believe the world is split in to three groups; 1. those with an Iphone, 2. those with Iphone envy, 3, Those poor folk who just are not aware of how in the dark they are. A1+++

tommyrocko31 August 2009

omg this guy infront is so right omfg im so doing this omfg hes a kid

tommyrocko31 August 2009

lol i made the coment and then i made acnt what he sed if its still awaitin moderation is

tommyrocko31 August 2009

why buy the iphone if you can get an ipod touch from 165 quid and a cheap mobile does making an ipod touch have phone capabilities make it worth paying double the money?

tommyrocko31 August 2009

martyn your wrong to say that he world is split up to 3 ppl theres loads diff people and if ppl dont have iphones doesnt mean they envy them.

tommyrocko01 September 2009

comon reaply to ma message

Chris05 September 2009

I bought a Iphone 3g just a week ago, just because it seems to be the must have gadget. Boy was i impressed, what a peice of kit. I was so impressed i have just bought a Iphone 3gs. Stop yes, wasnt worth the extra cash, If you have i Iphone 3g be happy thats as good as it gets from Apple at the min. Save your cash sick with the old one.

Pete07 September 2009

but you cant get hold of the Iphone 3GS due to 02 dont have them in stock. they just blame apple. is there anywhere i can get hold of one as my contract is due soon.

iphoner11 September 2009

Don't have it yet, most def... gonna get one. 32g!!!!!!!! Love apple product to bits. every other touch smart phone has been made to challenge the iphone, so why get the sheep when you can have the Shepard. the iphone is the ultimate trend setter. for me if all other brands go to the point of calling their phone names like - iphone smasher/iphone alternative/iphone bitter/better than iphone. If you are confident in you product -IT WILL SELL ITSELF. the apps are just tops, and their are so many hidden feature that make it so unique. As far as the cost. putting the odd chip change feg change on Apple's gift card... makes it lighter. my iphone fund started a week ago, due purchase date is 2 weeks away at £100 a week not bad. contract(no thank you.) £35x18months+£275(for phone) add the odd unexpected high bill=£1'000minimum & going up.and you pay more for upgrade which is only available at the end of your contract. bottom line its cheaper and more budget manageable to get it on pay and go, if desperate fo a contract get another bus.

wako zako12 September 2009

i think i might go to france and buy 1 so its not on contract

robzo17 September 2009

i'm getting this phone tomorrow :-D!

Schmichael26 September 2009

iPhone rocks the world. Just sort the Bluetooth out.

spike217026 September 2009

this gadget is soooooo cool!!! but it's just so expensive, and contracts everywhere, money money money money!... i luv it tho =] probably worth it

KEVIN GAMLIN29 September 2009

I have just upgraded to the 3G S and this is my third iPhone. There is nothing on the market that can compete with this phone! If your going to get a new phone get the iPhone and you will not be disappointed! It just keeps getting better and better!

Gaby29 September 2009

I would just like to ask why is it the mid-ranger phone?! it is by far the best one there! I live and die for the apps for iPhone!

jackjackson30 September 2009

This phone looks good but WAY to expensive why pay £550 on a phone. Plus it works out like £800 on contract

scottturnbull03 October 2009

spot on, i love it

Daryl03 October 2009

I have got the 3gs and it is amazing! no other phone on the market can match it. but if your going to buy one make sure you get the 32GB because it fills up fast!!

FlyingWellie08 October 2009

For what the iPhone does it cheap at twice the price. Just save up a bit more and buy it. Apple users don't mind paying the extra. its like BMW, Canon, Rolex, Churchill Shoes. You get what you pay for. Quality! Get a life, get a Mac.

jackjackson11 October 2009

The iphone MAY be cheaper. The iphone 3g and iphone 3gs is becoming availible on Vodaphone, Orange and T-Mobile. They will have to lower the price from O2's price. Then O2 might lower the price, so we might find the iphone 3g and 3gs becoming alot cheaper. If it come down to £300 then I might think about getting it.

BIG STEW12 October 2009

seen good things about this phone and good things about n97, need some help to decide which to go for, anyone any suggestions???

paul davis12 October 2009

\i soooooooooooooooooooo want this new phone

Whitey15 October 2009

I've had smartphones from other manufacturers before, but nothing can touch the iPhone - nor get within a mile of it - I'm a total convert. The whole set-up is so intuitive, it almost feels organic. I got the 3G on contract 2 weeks before Apple announced the lauch of 3GS and whilst disappointed that mine doesn't have some of the S's functionality, I can look on the bright side and say that I enjoyed the extra weeks of usage. Love 'em or loathe them, the strap line on the Apple ads (we've got an app for that) is bang on. Why rely on manufacturer's own built in software, when you can get an app for 59p that has been designed (and regularly upgraded) specifically for purpose. Networks have forced the minimum lifetime on phones up to 18 months, meaning that regular phones become obsolete - not so with the iphone as (within hardware limitations) if a new idea comes out you know there'll be an App for that! If you don't like the way an App works, either buy another one, or speak to the developers as most of them are open to suggestions for improvements. The point is that you aren't stuck with whatever software comes pre-installed.

chase0915 October 2009

i pretty much agreed wiv wot he sed - i really want an iphone 3Gs

Baldenwonder16 October 2009

iphone 3gs - have one at last having waited for a proper £G iphone and one that is quicker. In my opinion the iphone is a fantastic gadget; Bad Points, Expensive to buy (chose the 32GB) Poor Quality Camera - should be no excuse why it is low quality Wifi drains the battery in a day with surfing Internet tethering should be standard - I have a phone a few years old which can do this. If you don't have one the adverts must wind you up. You can't access the files by connecting to a computer. No push e-mail unless you sign up for mobile me etc - there are some app that do this but not used yet. Good points: The user interface and navigation are fluid and second nature which makes it a pleasure to use. The apps make the phone or ipod really special - some are amazing so you are not just getting a phone but something to enjoy and spend time using other than just a phone. You get an ipod built in which is one of the best gadgets of this decade. Check your e-mails without loading up your computer. Have had other top end 3G phones for the last few years but this is the best for surfing and other applications, yes the camera is rubbish compared to my other phones but if you are serious about photography or a photo needs to be good quality a good digital camera is not expensive anymore. Plus I have found phone cameras shakey taking photos. Great phone worth looking to see the deals once O2 no longer are the sole network provider in the UK. My best Gadget and you should have fun if you bought one.

rich johnson 18 October 2009

had the iphone 3g for 3 days now and all i can say is it an amazing bit of kit!

shakila26 October 2009

i also have the iphone 3gs.its awsome its the coolist gadgets 2 have as a phone so i recomade u to have it too.

ceekays26 October 2009

i am getting an iphone just for the sake of having one. Im one of these people who likes to have a phone which not everyone has and due to the price tag on the iphone not everyone has it. I got an nokia 5800 which everybody has got where ever i go all i see gs this phone. I think apple need to come to uk and build a uk based iphone lol and all apple's products are very expensive inc mac's but there are crem da la crem

maxxie129 October 2009

hey evreyone i whant this alot and you can get it cheap of madbid i saw a ipod nano for 9 pounds :-]

Tal197110 November 2009

I have had my 3GS since September 2009. It was the first iPhone I had owned and I am absolutely over the moon with it. The touch screen UI is arguable the best out there, I will admit, I wasn't a fan of touch screen technology before getting my 3GS (probably because the touch screen devices I had used up to then had issues) but the touch screen on the 3GS really does work and is such a pleasure to use. Its very easy & quick to navigate across or up/down a web page with the iPhone. Also the massive screen is a real gem with its bright and pin sharp image. Then there is the App store, this is a hub for useful little programs/games etc. Basically if you are wanting to be able to do a certain thing on your iPhone, then there is a fair chance there will be an App out there that will allow you to do that particular thing. Its the best phone I have owned by a MASSIVE AMOUNT.

Stu Lloyd10 November 2009

I've got the 2nd gen 3G phone, and it is by far the best phone I have ever had. I'm forever using it to check emails, and websites on the move - keeping in touch with my friends and looking for vacancies. I don't think there is enough added to the 3GS to make it a worthwhile upgrade at the moment, since the regular firmware updates through iTunes have provided some of the advances anyway, such as cut and paste. As for the limited camera - if I wanted to take good quality pictures, I would carry a camera, although the 2MP camera is good enough for spur-of-the-moment shots. Well worth getting if you have any other phone, as in my opinion, it comes with the best overall package inc. the App Store on iTunes.

Alan11 November 2009

Iphone 3GS..... it's not a phone, it's a way of life which also acts as a phone too! Love it so much I'm buying the new iMac too. xxx

Mustafa16 November 2009

I'm thinking of upgrading my mobile but don't know whether to get an iphone 3GS, Nokia N97 Mini or Sony Sato! Can anybody tell me which would be the best mobile to go for as i like all three of them but can't make my mind up?

Greedy16 November 2009

I've had this phone for 1 month now and i still can't get over how good it is! Even tho I had to get a 24 month contract to get the phone I know there wont be a phone bought out that will better this for a long time! The apps are unbelievably good and are so cheap, there is so much to do on this phone u will never get bored! ***** stars for me!

prody4217 November 2009

I agree with a previous comment, Bluetooth is an issue with the 3GS, it needs to support AVRCP, and I would also like to send contacts to other brands of phones. All in all I love my 3GS, gaming is incredable and everything i need is in one place! Music, Video, Games, PIM, Phone etc.. the best touch UI ive seen and used and responsivness is second to none ;) Happy iPhone 3GS user!

Jimbo18 November 2009

I am very close to buying the 3Gs but am unsure if it is worth £100 more than the 3G, also, i am in a Vodafone contract for another 11 months so need to wait for it to come out on the network in early 2010

pebbles2125 November 2009

All I can say is WOW!! Like everyone else I looked at the Iphone and thought does it live up to the hype? Having dipped my toe in the water and purchased a 3GS 16gb all I can say is that it does, and then some, Apps are a breeze to use and a lot of them are free (can't say anymore than that) The ones that aren't are reasonably priced. UI is a breeze to use and so is the touchscreen. My wife loves the Iphone and she is a self confessed technophobe and usually sneers at my latest 'gadget' usually labelling them a 'boy's toy' Regarding the cost, I got mine on a 24month contract with Orange (£87 for the phone then £35 per month for the contract) Sold my Nokia N95 8gb to Mazuma mobile (got £112 for it) so I am £25 up on the phone and paying the same for the contract, no biggee their! Only thing that I would recommend is a decent pair of headphones and a case for stopping any scratches. I have tried touchscreens before and to be honest before the Iphone I wouldn't have bothered. Can't stop playing with it!!!! (the Iphone of course). :-))))

pebbles2125 November 2009

Forgot to add, I have over 1300 photos, 4 x medium res vids & over 600 songs. Not to mention emails, Apps (5 pages of) and still have 4+gb spare. The camera is average quality, not as good as a camera phone but who cares?? I have now got a mobile that can link me to the internet, 'push' my email to me via my exchange server, play music and so much more without freezing, hanging, crashing and doing all the other things that my other smart phones did that I didn't want them to. My 71 year old Father had a look at the Iphone and he picked it up and started to get the hang of it within 30mins, with little to no help. Before you say "So what!" please understand that technology does not come easy to him, he even has a problem with adding a new contact, or sending a text, with his Sony Ericsson W595. Go on try it (Iphone) you know you'll like it.

Froggy03 December 2009

This phone is absolutely brilliant and works very smoothly. The stand alone speaker, although a little tinny, is very good and setting it up, working the functions, getting apps', playing games and generally using it a phone a messaging tool is a doddle. I LOVE IT and would recommend to anyone who is a little apprehensive in whether to make the step. Well done gadget show for the review and congratulations to apple for making it happen. Thanks, Froggy

sander03 December 2009

I'd rather have a Sony Ericsson satio. The iPhone's camera couldn't compete with the Sony's

Chris Styles06 December 2009

Just love it, wife calls it "the other women" does everything I want it to and more.

Josh07 December 2009

Honestly anyone that calls the iPhone a poor phone compared to any other phone does not really have the best view on gadgets and realise that the iPhone is suited to you. The iPhone is only as good as the apps you download for it!! If your not willing to spend time or a little money on the apps then don't buy an iPhone, but bearing in mind that is why the iPhone is so famous because of the wide range availabilty of different apps. What other gadget controls your entire house or tells you where else to buy the cheapest product by taking a picture of the bar code? So what it only has a 3MP camera look at all of the apps you can download to enhance pictures sharpen up pictures and edit colour of pictures!!

mickelo99708 December 2009

iPhones are the shizzz!! Voice control is the coolest thing i've ever seen in my life.... don't even have to pre-record anything! The only people who would diss this phone are the people who can't afford one, because you're just jealous that you ain't got one! Coolest things in the world.......5 G's!

missgwenb09 December 2009

I just recently bought an itouch. I love it so much, that now I want the iphone. Most of my friends have iphones and have been feeling slightly left out!! The 3G S is amazingly fast!

Wantiphonebadly12 December 2009

OMG i want an iphone sooooo badlyyy!!! i've had some rele old samsung for a million years now and i just NEED an iphone now!! its too expensive to get for xmas and i dont have that money! im gonna haavve to be saving for a lifetime!! i really really really really REALLY REALLY want an iphone and NEED it!!!!!!!! The day i get an iphone i am going to be the happiest person on the world, i'll eat a chilly or the biggest dare ever, i'll do anything to get one!!!! I WANT AN IPHONE SO BAD!!!! :D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :D

millieee316 December 2009

this phone is quite expensive but I have the HTC touch pro2 which is the same price and its so worth it, I couldnt imagine not having a smartphone anymore, the aplications and progams is just so genius, the mass of the brains in the people who created these things must be intense because its a big step in technology and a huge step for man kind(like where I going with this?) ahaa, well all people who have smart phones, a big thumbs up to you, because thats money well spent Millieeeexx

ronnylew21 December 2009

I love love love this phone. I would be lost without it.

Peter23 December 2009

I have just treated myself to an Apple iPhone 3GS 32Gb model. In the past few days, I've spent nearly £100 on applications (heftiest purchase was Tom Tom Western Europe which is reduced for Christmas from £79.99 to £59.99). I've forked out an inflated £99.95 for Etymotic Hf2 headphones which are excellent, but need to be reported to Trading Standards. Their box claims you can redeem a voucher for free custom in ear buds. Unfortunately, the fitting is free, but the buds will set you back £90!!! Since they're a tiny bit of silicone, I suggest that the free fitting service is obviously getting a cut! Anyway, as a phone, it's very complicated to use, and that's because I'm not an Applelista! However, in the last few days of ownership (purchased on Friday 18th Dec) I have realised that this really is a breakthrough product. My problem is there is just so much this product can do and learning how to use it really does need someone to sit with you and explain it. You get a pointless manual in the box. Instead you're directed to a PDF file which for the tree huggers out there would be fine, but personally after shelling out £540ish I expect a comprehensive printed, bound manual that I can sit with a cup of tea and read. There are thousands of applications and some are amazing for a few pence and some cost a pile more. My largest purchase was Tom Tom Europe and I have yet to try it, but I have heard good things. I'm not one of these plonkers who puts the sat nav on in every trip, what's the point of that? However, I have bought it for a very special reason. I'm a biker and I'm going to connect it to my bike comms set up via bluetooth. I have also downloaded an excellent tube map which gives service information too and it's sister app the London Bus app. You can even get the complete works of Shakespeare for free, though for a small additional charge (£1.79) you can get the app with random quotes, line numbers etc. Best of all, for over 15 years I have been searching for a copy of "the World According to Garp" the film of John Irving's book. I have searched high and wide, and since it's a classic I avoided paying £50 to cowboys on eBay. I bought it in iTunes for £6.99......that in itself is worth the £540ish on the iPhone. The battery is a disgrace, but for an additional £69.95 buy the Mobie Juice Air which is a back up battery and hard case all in one. It's expensive, and it apparently lasts only 500 charges, but it will recharge your phone. I saw on one of the shopping channels (I was flicking!!) that you can buy a wind up charger for £13.99 and so I may track it down. I bought the Mophie to use with the Tom Tom app since I have a BMW with a non-standard socket on my bike. Lastly, I'd like to say that I do feel like a big kid with a new toy, but if you can afford one, you genuinely will not buy any other product. I've always hated Macs, and now I'm even considering buying one because I'm sick of Windows and how slow it is, oh and I get 25% off because I'm in education! Make sure you don't waste your money on the 16Gb version. If you can't afford the 32Gb, save up. After uploading my iPod music to the iPhone, my 32Gb had shrunk to 20Gb. That's because the operating system takes up 3.5Gb. Had that been a 16Gb, I'd have less than 6Gb for applications and films. The Garp film and the Tom Tom account for 3.2Gb alone. You have been warned. Happy Christmas everyone!

lilmoll199918 February 2010

Although I love the ipone a huge issue is the screen. I have an iphone and have had to get 3 so far because the screen crack's very easily.

di but20 February 2010

I love the phone, the design and the gadgets BUT since upgrading to Windows 7 I have been unable to connect to i tunes. Has anyone else solved this as Apple.com cant. Thanks

Marcus20 February 2010

I foolishly got swept away briefly in the iPhone hype after many happy years of Windows Mobile. Almost got one until....HTC brought out the HD2. This is far more powerful, more feature rich, far better screen, far more flexible etc etc. In fact I'd say that even lower range HTC phones, like the Touch Diamond 2 are much better than the 3GS. If you want quality with no 'brand name' and want to be different, don't bother!

marcoscu22 February 2010

My life has been changed forever... I love my iPhone 3G S. But the battery life sucks...

kburton25 February 2010

I am getting one 2morrow

mongweasel10 March 2010

Had to get this phone & i think it's awesome.

AWalker199415 March 2010

I got my iphone 3gs earlier this year and I think it is the best gadget I have ever bought. After previously owning the 3g version I decided to upgrade to the 3gs and there is definantly an increase in the phone quality. The video camera is excellent and the extra 1.2 megapixels also shows through on the stills camera. I woul seriously consider getting this phone rather than other competitors such as the htc touch.

bootsy00116 March 2010

I do not feel properly dressed without my iphone, it's better than my girlfriend.

colin garrod19 March 2010

I have both the iphone 3GS and the HTC HD2. I "have" to use the HD2 - because it's provided for me FOC. I got the iPhone as a gift - because everyone else said I was missing out - badly! They are absolutely right! The iPHONE is THE Phone for ease of use, navagability, speed, but most of all intuititive and FUN to use. I can understand now why everyone is clamouring for this phone, quite simply it's the best! I don't want to unecessarily knock the HTC- it's a great phone with loads of high quality features - it's just an absolute pain in the butt to use!.
