family member produced a barely used 3gs iphone. I need a new cell phone contract and I am seeing that most basic plans with unlimited messaging and shit start at 65-70 anyway, might as well pay the extra 15 and get an iphone? is it really worth it?

Yea, if you have the 4g. The 3gs is bad and played, as the 4g will be in 5 month when the 5g will be out.

3gs is bad, howso?i read a few online reviews and it said the 3gs is better than having the original 3g. I know a new one is coming out soon but I don't really even plan to update then, so should I go ahead and try and get the iphone 4?

you are correct that the 3gs is better than the 3g, but just to clarify

iphone 4 > 3gs > 3g > 2g (original iphone) and the 5 will beat all when it comes out in june/july

with that said, the difference between the 4 and the 3gs is amazing. I have the 4, my mom has the 3g, and we know a few people with 3gs's. The 3gs's have few new features and are a little faster, but the iphone 4 is way faster, has the retina display, is much thinner (trust me you will notice in your pocket) and ya u've prbly seen the ads for all the other features

This thread is about him already getting a free iPhone....

Yes, another $15 is worth it for a data plan with almost any smart phone today.

You are right but just to clarify:

It's the iPhone 4, not the iPhone 4g. The iPhone 4 is still bound to the aging 3g network. Hopefully, the next gen iPhone will be 4g capable now that AT&T and Verizon are starting to get their 4g off the ground.

4g means nothing. There are not industry standards for 4g, like there are for 3g.

AT%T Literally just renamed their existing 3g network to 4g, to boost sales in hopes that consumers would not notice.
