With my iPhone it has crashed about 10 times, and i hate dealing with the people in the Apple store they act like im a baby and can't understand that their phone just plainly sucks.
My Iphone has never crashed and i have had it for a good while now. Some apps have frozen like once or twice or randomly quit, but that isnt due to the iphone, it is a result of bad programming by the apps producers. If an app does crash then all u need to do is hold down the Home button for like 20 seconds and it resets the ram and returns you to the home screen, nothing too hard to handle.

In regard to the battery life it isn't that great. On standby you can get a fair amount of time out of it, understandably, but under heavy use it drops to extremely low levels. Nothing that cant be handled; im generally always near a pc so whenever im at it i just plug it in. Something that can, once again, be easily handled. Also, the 3GS is much more energy efficient (i dont know by how much, but it is), so take that into regard as well.

I would recommend an Iphone. I really would. These problems are small to say the least, and im sure that you would be able to cope with charging it once a day without any struggle. It really is at the forefront of phones now, nothing can really compare. Yes, i know the Palm Pre is very good (so i am told), and Android is very good too (once again, so i am told), but none of these phones will have the same usability or support as the iphone in terms of apps, general usability and upgrades. You know that you have bought the right thing when companies start marketing products with the intention of "killing" it; its generally because that product is the benchmark.

Actually for me the battery dies in about three hours when im just listening to music in slacker radio and less when I'm watching videos and texting
Really? I think there is something wrong with your battery then. (Either that or I have some kind of super battery :p) I have watched videos for over 4 hours straight (6 hour train-ride) and I still had battery for normal use the rest of the day. (Some texting, a few calls... Checking my inbox, and such)
Like i said it's been crashing alot on me it turns off like it has no battery but when i put it to charge it tells me its full of battery and ever time i take it to the apple store they just tell me to be patient that it's like a small computer so it's bound to do that.
That sucks. Let's hope Apple actually helps someone out for once. I thankfully don't have to deal with Apple, so if mine startes to crash and act up I can return it for a new one.

basically the way i see it is if you love the iphone and sre getting an upgrade get he 3GS as it is only an improvement, and so you will still like if, if not more so
if you're not so into the iphone then dont get the 3gs as its too similar

No, Get a Nokia, for a cheaper price you will get better served
Nokia come directly after apple in my scale of evil. Also, the reviews for the latest models are awful. It seems to me that nokia hasnt yet released a decent smartphone. Basic phones, yes, excellent, but what I'm looking for now is something with a bit more range.[/quote]

I don't know why you would say that i had Nokias all my life, and never had a complain... Any way, If you looking for something more how about the BlackBerry Storm

I have the the 3g and though I have heard much complaining about battery life and breaking I have experienced nothing short of absolute technological brilliance. My iPhone never breaks has a battery that depending on how much I fuck with the games will last me 6 hours to 2 days. Here is the thing, the only drawback i can find is that the touch screen sometimes refuses to type the letter you want so if your going to be doing a lot of email or texting it can become a real *****. That being said I find the interface incredibly well designed and there are an absurd amount of incredibly useful apps ranging from helping you buy movie tickets to straightening picture frames to translating languages etc etc... I find the internet is also reasonable and the browser fairly nice. If your the business type it's not worth your time. If you need a phone and are looking for a nice toy then the iPhone is great.

3 of my friends have these and they all want to throw them off a cliff.
