After having mine for over a month now I gotta say it isn't what it's cracked up to be, the software is unstable, the phone function is marginal, the battery life is so so, e-mail sucks and I've had to replace it once already and having any warranty done by Apple is a PITA. Yeah it does some great tricks and allows me to tether which means I don't have to have an air card but it isn't the end all be all of phones thats for sure. As for business functionality the iPhone will never touch the Blackberry, but it's a much better entertainer. I'm interested in seeing how the Android platform phones make out.

i just got an iphone 3gs and i am really happy with it it is used 6months old and it was unlocked and jail broken...but i have a problem with it and wanted to know if anyone has had this problem or knows how to fix it.

so the problem is when ever i add an app or update one, or down load anything from cydia it resprings and moves all my icons back into alphabetical order i have added apps that say they will lock them but it does not work as well if i shut the phone of ir rests it all even if i arrange the icons via itunes it still will respring everything i am operating on the 4.0.1 very frustrating so any help would be great.

delete the jail break,,, it will always get you especialy if you have recently updated,, for $20 you can have lots of apps,, now if you are downloading free apps daily I guess the jailbreak is worth it but it messes with ur phone I just lost all my contacts from 10 years cause of this it crashed and frooze and my fault for not backing it up.

dont update it will kill lol....

back your phone up on itunes then look for the master re start or whatever its there somewhere, it will delete everything and re install the latest sofware wich is better I have done this now no gliches ever.. then sync with i tunes and all your contacts come back but no the hacked apps,,, most good apps are free now so just download from your appstore on your phone...

if ur phone is backed up you are good regardless but the timing of when it freezes can suck I was trying to find a place downtown when mine frooze on a saturday nite I had to ask 2 gas stations and they would not let me use there phone fawkers I was pizzed plus I barly no anyones number because they are all stored lol,, finally I passed a pay phone,,, 36 hours later I was back in action grrrr.. I have no home phone top call my techy buds and it was my day off lol crazy how dependant we are on theese things....

Well I'm holding on to my iPhone 3G one more year, my brother has the iPhone 4 and it's pretty cool, but it drops calls and some times won't call. So I'm buying the iPhone 5 when it's released in July!
