iPhone 3Gs 16GB Review

The Apple iPhone 3Gs 16GB is a sleek and stylish mobile that has enjoyed immense popularity. The iPhone is so much a part of our way of life today that almost everyone would recognize the name. Each new version that is released is even better than the last.

With the iPhone 3GS 16GB you get a mobile that looks identical to the iPhone 3G. This new version does weigh a little more, but not enough to make a difference. They are so much alike that when you put these two phones together, it would be difficult to tell them apart unless you turned them on. Some of the internal differences you’ll see with the Apple iPhone 3Gs 16GB is that it has a faster processor that runs at 600MHz; this phone still has a 3G speed of 412MHz. There is also 256 MB of internal memory, which is twice as much as the previous version.

Of course with a faster processor and more memory the 3Gs has better applications, as well as video and sound. Some of the features you get with the iPhone 3Gs include multimedia messaging, copy and paste, video recording, and geo tagging. There is also a landscape keyboard so that it’s a lot easier to sent text messages and email.


One welcome feature to the Apple iPhone 3Gs 16GB is voice control; with this feature all you have to do is say the name of someone in your contact list and the phone will call them. You can also use voice command to play music from your play list. Another function that is very useful is the landscape keyboard. When in landscape mode, it makes it easy to type out messages and emails. This is one feature that was really lacking with the original iPhone.

The Apple iPhone 3Gs 16GB comes with a 3-megapixel camera, and when this is combined with the new software that comes with this mobile, you get a much nicer photo quality than what was available in previous versions. You can also record video with this phone, and although the quality is not too bad, it could probably be a little better.

Although there have been some improvements with the Apple iPhone 3Gs 16GB black, those improvements are not really enough to go out and buy the new version if you already have the 3G iPhone.  If you can get a cheap iPhone 3Gs 16GB it probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to get one; it is faster and does have a few more features, as well as a better camera.

Without a contract the iPhone 16GB 3Gs price can be a little steep, but the cost isn’t too bad when you buy as part of a service contract deal.

This is my first smartphone. I am amazed by it's functionality. Navagation through menus is easy, It has a lot of free apps, a large bright screen. From what I heard about battery life being poor is over exagerated. I find the battery life more than adaquite. It's the best phone I have owned to date.

Very dissappointed in this phone. Signal is bad (very intermitent). The battery life is very short, and the keyboard is a little awkward to use. GPS doesn't work for more than maybe 30mins before flattening the battery. Texts pop up so that anyone near can see, and the Internet is very slow.

Not in the best buy phones for me. Very poor signal lost more than I have received. Texts pop up so that anyone close can see them. It also has a very poor battery life, be prepared to carry your charger with you at all times. The internet is also very slow and the keyboard could be more user friendly.

Two days after buying this phone my excitment turned to disappointment. Slow internet, bad keyboard texts that anyone can read they just pop up. GPS is o-k for a short time, maybe 5mins max, and a battery life that is practically useless. The list goes on and on. Good points, Free apps. loads of them.

This phone I find is one of my better buy's. The phone as a whole is very flexable. Menus user friendly. The GPS is very useful,but not for long periods, Battery life is better than I had ben told,it also has loads of free apps. It has a large,bright touch screen and keyboard is good. It also has a decent 3mp camera.

Best smartphone on the market. It is better than I expected it to be. Navigating through the menus is kids stuff, so user friendly. Settings for individual needs are really flexible.It has a large,bright touch screen and an easy to use keyboard. Plenty of free apps. a better than thought battery life, decent 3mp camera and a very useful GPS. and the interface is incomparable to anything else around. Excellent Phone.
