"iPhone from 1st G to 3G"

The good: The initial hype of the iPhone was great. I paid $499 for it because I didn't want to sign a new contract. I liked it. Only to find out six months later that the 3G was coming out.

The bad: I didn't like the fact that you cannot forward text messages. You cannot send picture messages. You can't receive picture text messages. For all the hype over this phone, you should be able to comply with those basics.

Summary: I went from the first generation and was swept into getting the 3G. I caved in and signed a new contract for $199, got the 8 gig. I had it for seven days only to find out none of the features of the phone changed or appeared to have changed to me, so I returned it. The network seemed worse to me. I dropped more calls. The net on the phone was not faster. I got rid of the phone. I still cant believe it doesn't forward text messages or send/receive picture text messages. Just disturbing especially when you have to pay more monthly fees just for having the iPhone. Altogether the phone is not worth it. Get an MP3 player separate and get a good phone. I also bought the FUZE, dont like it. Finally got a cheaper Quickfire, I love it!!!
