Default Iphone broke - should i stay with iphone or get another type of phone?

Ok so im locked in my contract for awhile with at&t. Had a iphone 3g and its completely broken and cannot be repaired so thats not even a option. So first thing in the morning I HAVE to go get a new phone. Should i get the iphone 3gs or look at something else? Im happy with the iphone. Apps were cool and all but i do know a few other phones can actually play TV from what i heard.

Any recommendations?






Sry i didnt put this in computer section but I have one day so placed it here for maximum effect.

Apple product? Broken? NEVER!






The 3GS is promising, although it has a stupid high price.

the 3GS is worth it if you can deal with the short battery life

Here's my question...did you have insurance on your original iPhone?

If not, be prepared to shell out $500 for your new one. As I understand the AT&T policy, you only get the first one for $200 for signing the contract. If you don't get insurance, a replacement costs the regular $500. I may be wrong though.

I had a BB 8100 before the iPhone & I thought I couldn't type any faster on any other phone, until the iPhone.

I have both an iphone 3G and a Black Berry Bold. I like the iphone for playing around, but the Black Berry bold is much more functional for my life.

oh and I cannot text faster on the iphone, the BB is much faster for me. I send about 300 texts a day through work.

if you bought your phone anytime near the initial roll out date of the 3g, the 16gb 3gs will cost $399 and the 32gb will cost $499 with a $18 upgrade fee.

i know this bc i just bought my iphone 3gs the other day after my 3g broke. However, try listing your 3g on ebay. i got over $200 for my water damaged one (16gb white)
