You should go with a generic copy cat generic iPhone instead. https://www.macrumors.com/iphone/20...3gs-becoming-more-convincing-at-first-glance/
It's exactly like the 3GS but it's only $100-150.

It overheats and melts the case, your hands and your face!
The oleophobic screen scratches and peels off!
The screen is yellow like urine!
The battery life is actually poorer than 3G!
It makes annoying high pitched tinnitus sound!
Worse signal than 3G!
Happy shopping!

These do a pretty good job of summarizing and illustrating the power of the iphone and the appstore.
Just to add to the music on the go one:
"iheartradio"
All I will say is, this phone does more than ANY other Phone on the market today. and it does it better...........Except MMS BUT that's coming soon. i had the 3G and now i have the 3GS. And i just cant imagine using any other phone and liking it as much as i like this phone. This wasn't my first phone by any means either.

borrow a friends iphone because there is an app for convincing you to buy an iphone
Combine your mp3 player and phone with one device! Also, you'll get a pretty good web browser, too! You've lived without it but it'll be funny how you'd find it difficult to switch to a non iPhone once you get used to it! It's a phone that'll grow on you immensely.
My story goes like this... I was the owner of the HTC 8525 that I was VERY happy with! The iPhone wasn't even a blip on my radar. I placed my 8525 on the charger and woke up to it not powering on. DOA. Good thing I had my trusty Samsung D807 as my backup to use. Had no insurance on the 8525 so I started shopping for replacements. This was 3 weeks before the iPhone 2G came out.
I did my research and found that the iPhone would replace my Zune and my 8525. I got it on launch date, 7th in line, and lived 2 mins away from the store so I missed out on all of the activation woes. The iPhone packed the WOW factor, with people sitting behind me at the Transformers premiere all up in my grill, begging to check it out!
Fast forward 2 years later, I play my music through my aux input on my Pioneer DEH-9800BT deck, I place my phone calls through the bluetooth function of the stereo. I'm also a Mobileme owner, so I get push email, contacts, calendars and bookmarks.
The iPhone allows me access to a wealth of information that I didn't have previously in the 8525. The 8525 had Wifi, a built in 3G card but the browser didn't make it easy to surf the web. Now I can easily access my bank account, my 401k, etc. I have a full feldged and easy to use mp3/movie player, alarm clock, timer, calendar, just SO much info at my fingertips... literally.
You need to try it for 12 days and see if you can handle the touch screen. If you can handle that, I don't think you'll be returning it within the 14 days allowed. If you reaaaaally don't care for the iPhone, it'll only have cost you a few bucks restocking fee.
Best luck to you!!
