iphone wanted
RazMan - 19/10/10 at 09:54 PM

I've had a Google G1 for a couple of years and fancy going back to the iphone - probably a 3GS.

If anyone has one going cheap (any spec), or they fancy a part exchange I am all ears

Thanks guys - I am hoping for a 3GS and have sent U2Us in reply to a few offers.

Have u2u'd you too. I've got a mint 3GS 16GB in the original box with unused acessories.

Okay, thanks for all the offers guys but I have decided to do a complete U-turn. After playing with a friend's iphone 3GS I realised just how good the Android operating system really is!

Don't get me wrong, the iphone is a really competent phone but the Android is much better suited to nerdy types (like me) and while the 3GS is a fairly good spec and fast to use (compared to my old 2G anyway) the later Android phones are head & shoulders above it IMO, having faster processors, more memory, very tweakable etc. Added to this, most iphones will need to be 'jailbroken' to get them to play nicely which just seems a real hassle for getting updates and installing some apps.

I'm now looking for a Nexus One - iphone 4 performance for a lot less cost The only downside is the relatively low number of Android apps available (only 10% of Apple's apparently!) but the number is growing all of the time.

I'm looking for another 3GS if anyone's got one lying around

Go for a Samsung Galaxy S. beats any iphone! Android market is huge.
and before all you iphone lovers start to argue, the galaxy has swype. nuff sed lol ;-)

You'll get fed up of Android very quickly. Yes, technically, it's a lot more capable, but do you really want all that complication in a mobile device? The beauty of the Apple is it's simplicity, and the fact that it does a few things well rather than everything badly.

As before, I have a 3GS for sale, mint, boxed, all unused accessories apart from the power cable (just the cable, not the plug). £275, no offers
