No doubt, the whole "3GS still supported" is mute since the phone runs crappy on iOS5 (not as fast or smooth as previous OSs), can see plenty of post on here regarding this. It's jailbroken and my serial and early baseband allowed me to downgrade back (which I don't think everyone can do on their 3GS), tried multiple times and iOS5 has basically no wifi (yet works fine in iOS4), and is laggy and glitchy, but phone works 100% perfect on iOS4, no typing lag either, my keyboard lagged like crazy on and off when typing in iOS5.
Got a tip for us?

People still use the 3Gs? LOL That's so 2009!
I sold mine when they released the iphone 4.
Not everyone is fortunate enough to have the latest and greatest tech. Just be fortunate you are.

Anyone still using the term "rockin'" to mean "using"? Hopefully not!
Sure do. Gotta problem with that? Oh well.
Yep.
I wanted a iPhone when they first came out but didn't have the funds and had just renewed a contract with T mobile, Doh!
So I held out for a couple of years and followed everything having to do with the iPhone.
Finally my day came and I got the 3GS on release day, I was so excited! (my wife settled for a 3G )
I've had it ever since and I'm SO ready for the next iPhone. I think sitting out on the 4 and 4S will definately be worth the wait.
Also, the screen on mine has been busted since last Halloween, so yeah, like I said, I'm SO ready!
The sooner the better as far as I'm concerned.

Well, I`m still using iPhone 3G from 2008. Plastic near dock connector and headphone jack cracked, but for being 4 years old, device is still in very good condition. Oh, and running 3.1.3. Performance is great, but you would be shocked, how many apps require at least iOS4 - AppStore on iOS3 is almost useless. Even Facebook and Skype won`t install ;/
P.S. Wanted to upgrade to iPhone 4S, but I refuse to buy another smartphone with 3.5" display. Hopefully this year`s iPhone update won't disappoint me

3GS is still my only phone and i'm still extremely happy with it. I've been out of contract for over a year but didn't fancy either the 4 or 4s. Might get the new one when it comes out but too be honest the 3GS still satisfies my uses 100%.

I'm still rocking the term using to mean rocking.
Rocking' "A" iPhone 3GS?? Man, I'm rocking' TWO 3GS, one black & one white. Black one for data only & white one for text and calls only. That's how much I love the 3GS, the design & the speed. iOS 5 didn't even slow it down, quite satisfied with it!
My wife is still using one. It's been in a sink of water and in the toilet TWICE. FREAKIN THING STILL WORKS. Except for the home button and being slow lol. She drops it all the time too gotta admire the build quality. She didn't want to upgrade, but at this point I'm not giving her the choice lol
