If 8GB of storage space is sufficient for you then it'll be fine. You need to determine for yourself how much space you'll need.

and really i can upgrade to ios 5 ?

Yes.

and what about os 3 is it also fine?

Yes, iOS 3 was good too. 3.1.3 was probably the best version too.

and what about the mobile all is it good?

I'm not sure what you mean here.

coz i don't have much money to get iphone 4 or iphone 4s

or u would say i wait and get more money and get iphone 4 or iphone 4s better than iphone 3gs ?

The 4/4S are much faster than the 3GS, but the 3GS still performs quite well in it's own right. You need to decide which you feel is more appropriate for you.

sorry i asks a lot but i am still new for using this mobile :)
waiting ur answer

No worries.
 
when i asked is mobile good i mean in general? is it fine and goood or i wait to buy iphone 4 or 4s

and what u mean by slow? slow boring or normal it can be nice?
coz i have offer for iphone 3 gs 8 giga plus nowadays no 16 or 32 giga only 8 giga

so if u have iphone 3gs u can tell me do u like the mobile everything of it
and if u have it iam sure u compare it by iphone 4 or iphone 4s so what do u think

tell me do i get the offer or i wait and get iphone 4 or 4s?

plus 3gs soon will not be available will be only available iphone 4 or 4s

so do u think 3gs will be nice and good and i can say woooow i love this mobile or as i told u i wait?

camera nt important for me.important sound and mp3 and watcing ssome movies browse net
plus do iphone 3gs fohave wifi also coz i dont like use mobile sim card internet i like wifi more
 
My opinion is get the 4 or 4S so that way you'll have better hardware which can handle the forthcoming iOS updates as they happen and your phone will last you longer.

If you get the 3GS, I don't know how many more iOS updates Apple will make for it, if any, and then you will be stuck with whatever the last version they release for it.

aha i understand but what if i get iphone 3gs coz as i told u offer and price i like and 4 and 4s want more money
so if i get 3gs will be bad or good in general and as u told me u upgrade to ios5
but i dont know how its slow as u said slow boring or its fine?
and for upgrade u aslo said its fine so if no new updates released i think ios5 will be ok as u say
but tell me about how slow mobile as i told u very slow boring or half and half or slow 97% and what about battery

sorry i know i am boring cos i asks alot

No worries.

Ios 5 is actually way better than 3 and 4 as all apps require 4.2 up nowadays
