There are a few, mostly related to hardware limitations. Location-based reminders and Facetime are the only ones that come to mind immediately. (The 3GS uses an older GPS chipset that draws too much power to be effective with location-based reminders, and of course it's lacking the front camera for facetime).
Awesome, Neither of those features I Care about 😀
Not to shabby, I Got the phone for $50! Its replacing my Inspire 4G.
my 3gs actually works surprisingly fast after the ios5 update. If I had known it would be that much better with the update, I may have seriously waited out the 4S, but the vibration button is broken on my 3gs so it was worth the upgrade 😀
The camera kinda sucks on the 3GS for pictures that aren't well lighted. Other than that, it is a very solid phone considering its age.
Considering how apple is about getting rid of older models, and not supporting older models in software updates, for the 3GS to still be around and get pretty much all ios5 features, that means its still pretty good.
I remember when the 3G got ios4 and it was missing many features. that phone is horrible.
