1. The most complete smartphone AS-IS

You don't need a load of explanation on why this phone changed the market and set the standard, though the ties to AT&T and Apple are way too strong to truly enjoy this device. The screen and style are now a bit outdated and the lack of customization make you feel like you are a cow in the the big heard of i ecosystem. The ui is still probably the best there is but, come on its time for a face lift.
Large touch screen, very finger friendly, capacitive screen, out-of -box usablilityAT&T 3g coverage, Apple proprietary rubbish, dated look, lack of customization

2. What A load Of Rubbish!

There was all this hype over the iphone when it first came out and now it's just a big fat letdown.
The camera is crap and there just introducing things that many other phones have had for years.
The only plus is the apps which are great but they don't come preloaded and a lot of the good ones aren't free so your basically paying extra to make the phone better when the phone is already too expensive.
Xoxo
Apps =)Everything else it's a heap of junk.
And it's far too expensive.

It's really, really great for music. If you're into childish little apps and games, then it's great for that too.
It has pretty bad call quality, and I drop calls quite a lot. My 3G barely ever works. In addition, it's pretty damn ugly. And so are the menus. There is seriously no customization whatsoever. The camera is also pretty disappointing.
If you are connected to WiFi, the internet is amazing! Very easy to use. It also has great GPS and Facebook and Twitter apps.
It's a decent device, but as a phone, its pretty sub-par.

I have nothing bad to say about this phone. It is great. The bad part is , the network it is on. ATT is not a great network. I think ATT has just sat around and let Verizon pass them. Look at the 3G network map. Verizon is everywhere and ATT is pretty much no where.
The phone is AWESOME!!!!!!!!Too bad the phone is on a terrible network.

This phone is great. good camera call qauility and has the best touch screen availible. The people who wrote the negative reviews only did that because they are verizon and sprint users even though att sucks. you will never be bored with this phone i have it. There is so much to do that you might forget to check your mail or something. I just wish it had a removable battery or something but i guess that makes it more sofisticated.

The iPhone 3Gs is a great phone, it does everything I need it to do and is capable of doing more. There are some annoying things about it, like the fact that you have to press back to close the text field in messages and sometimes the accelerometer gets stuck going from landscape to portrait mode in the messages app. However the iPhone is hands down the best smart phone on the market. The multi touch UI is fluid and intuitive, no other phone matches the iPhone in this department. No it doesn't multitask, but look at the phones that do users are constantly complaining about slow performance and battery life. Well thats, because multitasking uses more memory and since those apps are running in the background they are still open and using battery power as well. To Rhett I understand where you are coming from with the magnifying glass, but if you into settings--->general-->keyboards and turn on caps lock when you double click on the arrow on the keyboard it will turn blue and that's caps lock. Also MMS does work, I've had my MMS working late Thursday night. Just update the carrier files from iTunes, you don't need to wait for At&t you can download them yourself and load them in if MMS is that big of a deal to you. Check attached photo if you don't believe me. I would also like timestamps too, I find that annoying as well.

first of all rhett,
the iphone DOES have caps lock - you double tap the shift key and it turns into caps lock.
MMS is part of the OS 3.0 and therefore has been implemented already
there is no arrow key to move the cursor while typing, you hold your finger down on it and the magnifier comes up with a cursor and you move it. read the finger tips on apple's site.

9. The best phone

This phone is the best every ! the reason I'm saying this is based on qualty. It can do anything that ANY other phone can do, better. It lookes great, fills great , works great, easy to use, does anything, and it is made be apple. Thats all there is to it. I don't have to say anything else. But I will, this phone is so nice that I will never have another type of phone ever. The best part about this phone is that it will only get better as updates come out. C apple gives iphone customers free updates every so offten. It may fix anything from texting, to battery life, to mms. which by the way apple didn't let that happen b/c of the pic quailty is not as good when you mms pic as to email. C when you email a pic it will turn out better! which emailing is free texting anyways. These mobileity store verizon, tmobile, etc have made texting to make more money. where if you have mobile data then you could email (aka texting) for no extra charge with web browsing.

The iphone 3GS is NOT perfect.
here is the list of what needs to be changed/fixed
-Vibrate not very strong
-MMS (they claim it is coming, but should have been here day 1)
-Every line of texts need time/date stamp, not the random times the phones does
-TEXT TONE per contact. my old LG could do it, y not the newer phones.
-the "shake to undo" feature can't be turned off
-Slow to rotate to/from landscape
-the "home" screen does not display in landscape
-NO arrow key to move cursor when typing
-Can't text to an email
-once key pad is open in a text you have to go back to get rid of it. makes reading texts hard
-NO CAPS LOCK!
-need character counter in texts
-need to be able to run more than one app
-
BIGGEST PROBLEM AT&T!!!!
But with all that, i am keeping the phone just because of the internet. But as soon as verizon gets the phone. i am switching back.
