Iphone 3g 8gb
Phone owned for more than a year

It was my first phone, I was using it for more than three years. It used to be really great smartphone at the time, fast and quite powerful, but now I cannot recommend it to anybody. Today it is only capable of calling and texting. Just forget about it. Nothing to stare at.

Phone owned for more than a year

Over 3 years ago when I literally tested all the best smart phones out there including the so called first iPhone killer the "Samsung Instinct" LOL this phones only took 10 minutes to convinced me that it was by far the best..

It may be too late to submit a quick review on it, but figure I take the time and do so.. :)

Good Phone
Phone owned for more than a year

I loved it. It was a really great phone. I loved the texting on it and it was good with everyday use. One of the things i didn't like was the battery. I would get bored sometimes and i would only use it for a few hours and it would die. You have to charge it whenever you can. Another thing is the internet. It was pretty slow most of the time and it was choppy when you moved it around.
