Apple iPhone 3GS - 32GB - black (AT&T) Reviewed on 06/17/2009

The Bottom Line: The iPhone 3GS doesn't make the same grand leap that the iPhone 3G made from the first-generation model, but the latest Apple handset is still a compelling upgrade for some users. The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

Specs: WCDMA (UMTS) / GSM 850/900/1800/1900, Up to 600 min, With digital camera / digital player, 4.8 oz

Apple iPhone 3G - 16GB, black (AT&T) Reviewed on 07/11/2008

The Bottom Line: The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.
