Is the iPhone 3 a good phone to buy?

I'm looking for another phone. My S1 broke, so I need a new one. I want to try something outside of galaxy, but it can't be the newest version of the phone because it needs to be affordable to me, and I buy unlocked - unlocked is more expensive than contract phones.

I've been looking at some older iPhone versions and it looks like I can afford a used iPhone 3 unlocked. Is this a decent phone? I remember a tv report about an iphone version that said it was the worst one of all iphones, but I can't remember which ones. SOmething tells me it's iphone 3. Have you heard anything about this?

So, iPhone 3, decent phone to buy or not?

Well its slow and lags a lot and you won't be able to download any apps to too its 5 years old. Also you won't be able to get the newest updates. Nobody has it anymore

If you want to get one, get the iPhone 3gs not 3g. IPhone 3g is super slow and can only update to iOS 4. IPhone 3gs is much speedier than 3g and can run iOS 6 which is not too out of date. You should still be able to download most App.

You can only download some apps. The newest apps you can't download.

There's no iPhone 3. There was the 3G and the 3GS.

Not sure of that TV report though since no one complains about the iPhone except of course rival companies.

If going for either the better bet would be the iPhone 3GS.

Iphone 4S is free on 2 year contract, why not go that route?
