If you're not using them, whats the point in having them turned on... unless you have a fetish for charging your phone daily?

Quite an overrated problem tbh.

Tests have shown, that even with the antennae issue the iPhone 4 has far better reception than the 3GS.


Untill the issue is widely known resolved, i'd rather have a different model, I use my phone a lot to speak to clients, friends and family. Would do my head in if the signal went all the time, especially when just holding the phone.

When I get it, i'll bang it on eBay and put a little extra for a 3gs.

Quite like the htc thing that Mark Graham had today though.

iOS4 isn't as good on the 3G ones, but that's only going on what my mate said.

If I were you i would get the 3GS. I don't like the feel/shape of the 4. Doesn't feel as nice in your hand. But the screen is awesome on it.

feature wise I love it, things I dislike are the qwerty keyboard, signal is generally crap compared to any other phone I've had, battery is a bit poor but to be expected with a phone like this I guess, and the sensor always changes the bloody screen orientation when I don't want it to :lol:

You must've had all the shit turned on then coz the same happened to mine.
Now, with everything turned off, I only have to charge it once a week, if I barely use it.

I have a 3G. Battery life is really crap though. If you're using it for work Alex i wouldn't bother. I work for a company so if people can't get hold of me they call the office. No big deal, but for you it will be a big deal.

I really like mine, it's not slow at all. Had about 5 die on me though :(

I had a 3GS, had no issues with that one at all. My sister has it 12 months on and still works brilliant for her. Battery is a little crap but doesn't die over night when unused like my 3G does.

Only have the Facebook and eBay App with notifications turned off. Push e-mail is most likly the killer..

Seriously, have a look, its crazy what people are paying for them!

3gs, anywhere from 250 to 450 really, what network are you with?

Shall I stick it on eBay then, its an 8gb 3g.

Will get a 3gs on there, how much can you pick them up for?

Are they really going for £950? They're in stock in my local tesco for £479, theres 6 or 7 there. Good investment :look:

3G is crap. iOS4 is rubbish on them.

Get a 3GS, put it in a case and it will look just like a iPhone 4 to everyone else :lol:

I doubt you'll get a 4 on ebay.

Well, what i mean is, you would be stupid to get one off ebay, i just had a quick look, a 16gb locked to o2 went for 950quid.

If they wait a few weeks they can get a sim only deal for 500quid. madness.

A friend of mine has upgraded to the iPhone 4, and said I can have his 3g.

I was going to get a 3gs / 4 anyway, so what are the differences? Will I notice that the phone isn't as good?

Is it worth just sticking it on eBay for x amount and then bid on a few 3gs's /4's for an extra £50 / £200.

Was going to get a 4, but then backed off when I saw all the problems with the signal etc...
