[QUOTE="thekilierdonut, post: 1305495, member: 193006"] the iPhone 3g will not run anything past iOS 4, and it isn't fully functional (no folders, compass, no support for newer, graphically intensive apps, etc.). The 3Gs and 4 will still be supported (the 3Gs is now available at AT&T for free with a contract!) As far as the differences between the phones - the 3Gs is the oldest of the handsets. Obviously that means it has an older, slower processor, less RAM, inferior camera, etc. It also does not have a retina (HD) display. The 4 and the 4s look very similar externally, but the 4s has a brand new dual core processor, 1GB RAM, and a better camera. It is also available with a bigger hard drive (the 4 caps out at 32GB). All three are good phones - if it were ME I'd just buy the latest and greatest, but if you just want to get into the iPhone family, the 3Gs would do you just fine, I guess. 4s will go for USD 199, 299, 399 for 16, 32, and 64 GB models with a contract. Without a contract, you're looking at 449, 549, and 649, respectively. [/QUOTE]
