is the iPhone 3GS still worth having?

HAHAHHAAHAHAAHHAAAH!!!!

No, it does not.

It does, just fine. My 3Gs runs very nice with iOS 5.1.

For only $99, the regular iPhone 4 will be a really good phone for you. If your budget doesn't allow for it, an iPhone 3GS will still work fine for you but without all the bells and whistles. Just a decision if you really care for advanced phone features and if your willing and able to pay for it.

The only thing great about the 3GS is the form factor-best so far IMHO. Which is why I keep my jail broken 3G in service-still does the job using ios3. But if I were you, I'd get the current one....or wait 6 months for the LTE version

I had a iPhone 3GS for almost 2 years I can buy a iPhone 4 or a 4s but for what better screen the 3GS is pretty fast I think but idk anyways winners travel haters pivet the end

Why not wait 3-4 months & get the iPhone4 for FREE (or nearly - $1.), when the iPhone5 is released. After WWDC, you may see a price drop on the 4 / 4S ... There will be all sorts of dumping / discounting of the iPhone4 upon new iPhone release. Besides the fact, your employment situation could clear up by then & you may be able to afford more. Remember, in 2 years, you'll still be stuck with an iPhone 3GS, possibly 5 generations old.

Wife uses a 3GS, currently - the only issue she finds is the reception is compromised @ times.
Weren't there some signal issues with the older (3GS & before) iPhones ? dropped calls, which may have been AT&T, or may have been the phone ?

The newer (not latest model) iPhones (4 & 4S) are now (will be) made widely available as a pre-paid phone - though purchase prices of the phone, are the question?

Another reason not to get the 3gs is because ios 6 is going to run like pitch and will be missing features.

I didn't like iPhones until the 4 came out. I was debating on if I wanted an iPhone 4 for 240 or a Droid for 200. I got the Droid first but if I had gotten the iPhone before I would have been happy with it as well. I liked both phones, I also have a 2G, 3G, 3GS, Samsung Epic, Evo, Evo Shift and I did not like any of those phones.

Why would you want something much slower and has a much worst screen resolution instead of a nice phone with flash and front facing camera? Get the iPhone 4, or get the Exhibit like you wanted.

I am still using 3GS, but really trying to be patient and wait for the iphone5..

3GS can handle ios5, but it made my fone extremely slow now.. when opening aps, it sometimes hangs for about 5-10 seconds..
