I just ordered a iPhone 3gS. How's the reception in that one?

I hope it's not like the iPhone 4. Is it quite better?

Tell me what you like about your 3GS!

Zero probs with my 3Gs Fast and smooth operation. Just updated to IOS4 -the new operating system with no probs either.

I think you will like it fine ! Let em work any bugs out of the 4.

Thanks, Greg! I kinda like the 3Gs better than the 4. And since the 3Gs has no probs. It's better! :)

My 3GS worked fine. Occasionally I had drops, but I was in bad areas. Should have said something to me Gabby, I would have sold you mine when I got my Iphone 4!

I found that whilst conducting a double backflip, holding the phone in my forefinger and thumb, that as my body was on its second rotation at an angle of forty degrees there was a slight loss of signal.

welll Gab, if your 3G network is excellent in your area/country, then the 3GS would be the next best thing to the iPhone 4.

Ps - how did you go with your 2nd Rolex hunting?

Reception issues might be the OS rather than the phone, there wasn't to much wrong with OS3 IMHO.

No problems with the reception on the 3GS, like the iPhone 4. The antenna is built into the phone itself, rather than around the edge, as on the iPhone 4.

I love my 3GS - you will be most satisfied. You will be able to install iOS 4 on it, just like on the iPhone 4.

Now, none of this says that I won't get the iPhone 4 whenever I can, however. I am just waiting until I qualify for an upgrade, and then HELLO IPHONE 4!!!
