Battery life is terrible. Also a pain to get to dial specific phone number. On my old cell phone I just had to hold down one key in order to dial a pre-programmed number . Telephone speaking quality not that great. Features are nice and has lots of capabilities but annoying to use in order to access things, turn off, turn on etc. Will most likely not replace with another when contract is up. Support is terrible unless you are near an Apple store. Then they are great at helping and explaining things that you should be told, but are not, when you buy the phone.

worked well for a long time but just didnt cut it with the cheaper outer layer. Kinda sucked.

I got this phone from my daughter when she bought the Iphone4G. I love the features, but when I'm at home, my phone says theres no service, searching, lost calls, and missed calls. AT&T says I'm near a tower and that shouldn't be a problem but it is. I feel it must be this particular phone because my son has the same phone and he doesn't have this happen.

I got the iPhone 3G a couple months ago, and I absolutely love it! I could have paid top dollar for the 4G, but I didn't see the point. I actually got the 3G free when I renewed my contract with AT&T. It is perfect for what I need right now, and I have found so many useful apps for FREE that help at work, in my direct sales business, and at home. I haven't run into any problems that would be fixed with the 4G.

I used to be one of those people that just wanted a basic phone for calling and texting, but now that I have started using my iPhone I don't know what I would do without it. The only problem I have is when I am not connected to wi-fi the AT&T Internet is super slow. Other than that it rocks.

I love my Iphone 3G as a computer, its amazing! BUt as a phone its horrible! I drop so many calls, and I dont live in a rural area or anything, its just drops tons of calls! Talking to my husband on his iPhone we drop the call maybe 2 or 3 times, though not EVERY call gets dropped. BUT we called AT&T to ask if there was something we could do and if you turn off your 3G and let it run on the Edge ( E ) network you get all four bars of reception! The only difference is it loads webpages a little slower. So though we bought the phones for the 3G speed we really have that off most of the time.

I really love the iPhone although I was skeptical at first. I read several bad reviews among the "geek" information blogs especially knocking the iPhone for it's lack of simple features. I was unsure if I really wanted to give up my MMS messaging after all my kids' grandparents love receiving their text messaged pictures of their grandchildren. After playing a bit with a store model iPhone I decided this phone was just too cool to let go. Sure there is no video camera option and the camera could really be of better quality but the features of this phone far outweigh the silly little things it lacks. I suppose grandma will have to learn how to check her pictures in her email as that is one thing you CAN do with your pictures on the iPhone. I love the endless amount of apps (Applications) that you can download and that includes a generous amount of FREE apps as well. You can get full apps for free as well as demo versions of games and most of them are only $.99-$1.99 if you want the full versions. I was able to get a shopping list program, pet game for my daughter an entire bible program (online) and a bubble game all for free. I also love the ability to surf the web at my fingertips. If you have a wifi or wifi access (some places like Starbucks offer free wifi) the speed of your internet browsing experience will amaze you. One other thing that is not the greatest with this phone is the battery life. If you are an avid web surfer, you will suck through the battery in no time. You can avoid this by making sure you charge your phone often and buying a battery pack for your phone. These range in price depending on where you get them but a battery pack that is rechargable is best. Then you can just snap it on in a pickle and have an extra few hours of phone life on the go. I highly recommend this phone and if you do not own an iPod I recommend getting the 16g so you have plenty of room for your music. The 8g is wonderful if you already own an iPod and just want to carry a few "emergency songs" for when it is not with you. In all I think the iPhone is completely worth the price and will provide you with hours of entertainment as well as phone calling wonderment.

I just upgraded my 3G to a 4G and glad I did. I love the features and the apps. I just learn how to get music for my iPod and sat here and filled it with my favorite music and now when I am out walking I can put my Nike app on and it will put my exercise music on and I do nothing but push a button..

I am totally addicted to all things Apple. I just got this iPhone and it's fantastic! It's a little addicting but it's really fun. I love having everything right at my fingertips!

I have had the phone for almost a year now. I have had a few problems with it freezing ever since I did the upgrade a couple months ago, but other than that the phone hasn't had any problems. My service from at&t on the other hand has been horrible. I live in an area the they say has the best coverage, but I have calls drop, my phone won't ring and a voicemail pops up, or some regular text (not picture) messages take at times close to an hour. I recommend the phone, but not at&t.

I am certainly envious of my friends with this phone. The applications alone that they can choose make it a top leader on my wish list. Also, the touch screen is hot. If I had the discretionary income, I would certainly buy it and subscribe to the services that are offered.

i LOVE my iPhone. i have absolutely no regrets in buying it. my dh who is NOT into technology at all got one at the same time & he has gotten used to using it in no time at all. I wish the battery life was better (it is shortened when you start using the iPod & anything other than the phone!). I also wish you could send pictures via text (sorry, i don't know what that is called!) But those are my only 2 complaints!

I love my phone. I'm not sure what I did without a smartphone. I use my phone for calling, checking email, surfing the web, and listening to music. I also look up recipes, directions, and information on it. It's a great all around tool for me.

I love this phone, it is the very best out of any phone I have owned. I can do so much with this phone, the apps are great, it comes in so handy when you are out and about. It is like have a mini computer with you at all times. I use my phone all day, it is my work phone my play phone and the battery holds up very well under pressure!!

I had an ipod touch so I knew I would like the iphone, and I love it! It's easy to use, has amazing graphics, and is faster than my old blackberry ever was. I would recommend this phone to anyone. My favorite game app is angry birds (like most) and my most used app is probably the Facebook app. I have this phone in white and love it!!! Worth every penny. Also, I sold my old Blackberry on Gazelle.com for money so in a way made my iphone that much cheaper!
