Kanada Kev Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 WEll,My phone up and died yesterday. I'm in need of a new one but don't want to be stuck on any sort of multi-year plan. So, I'm just looking at getting the hardware and going from there.My uncle has an iPhone3G in mint condition. Is it worth grabbing for $100 and just going with that for my phone/data? I'm not a super-heavy user and can handle something with a lower qual camera and maybe a bit slower.iPhoners advice?Cheers,Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 The 3G is very slow and while it should work fine with the built-in stuff, apps being created and sold now are designed for much faster and powerful hardware. Apple doesn't support this device anymore. I'd say take the device, but no way would I pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yup..My wifes 3G is nearly painful to use. Upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) iPhone 4S or wait, get a burner and pick up the iPhone 5 in the summer. With a 3G all you'll be doing is buying yourself a $100 headache. Edited February 19, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks for the tips guys. I think I'll tell him I'll take it, but no cashola. If he doesn't like that, then I'll just get a thow-away until a better deal comes along.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybone Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I went back to Apple when my phone died and they gave me a new 4G- no extended contract or anything.Worth a shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove Fetish Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 anyone know of an unlimted plan for data in Canada for iPhone??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoMack Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think $100 for a Iphone 3Gs w/ no contract is pretty fair.... if I needed a phone in those circumstances I would do it no question. You'll pay $50 for a piece of crap throw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
