Apple iPhone 3GS - 16 GB - White (Vodafone) Smartphone

I have been after an iPhone for quite some time but never really could afford it. It was well worth the wait though there are a couple of things that could be improved or added. The quality of the camera is quite good even though its only 3 megapixel. My old phone was 8 megapixel but the quality of the iphone puts up a good fight. All the settings for the iPhone camera are auto, such as white balance and auto focus. There is no flash but gives good images in daylight conditions. The S in 3GS stands for speed and Apple kept their word... IT IS FAST. All the apps open quickly, so no lag waiting for games etc opening up. I live in a rural area but the reception is good and conversations are clear. I am really pleased with the phone my only real niggle is.... Bluetooth. Headsets connect really quick, but you cant send things to other phones unless you jailbreak your phone which I dont really want to do. I have lots of things on my phone that friends would like but cant send or receive from them. Battery consumption is quite high because I use it for more than just as a phone. The games are very addictive so spend lots of time playing them and find I have to charge the phone every other day. Remember its more than just a phone, more like a mini computer. The on screen keyboard is great to use plus it has spell correction as you type, so if you have chunky fingers and make a mistake it corrects it as you type. I have put a few films on my phone and the quality of the screen playback is crystal clear. The compass is good especially when you go into maps and search for places. A friend of mine said its only a glorified iPod.. As he found out when he tried it, how wrong he was and is envious and hopes to buy one when he has the funds. The ipod features are as good as ever. I also have an iPod Touch, but this is now left at home as the Iphone does everything I need. Music, films, camera, camcorder, internet and of course a phone. One of the best items I have bought on eBay. If it is your first Iphone then buy one if you can afford it, you wont be dissapointed. If you just upgrading from a previous iPhone then you may think its expensive for the few extra features it offers. There are plenty of video reviews on the net. Do what I did, check them out and decide for yourself. Good luck and happy bidding. wadermanuk
