Who still uses the Original iPhone or 3gs?

For the same reason owners will refer to their iPod as an iTouch (or, is it the other way around?!).
It's the vernacular we're all used to.
Someone states, "iPhone2G" I know exactly what he is talking about.

Still love my 3gs. I'm a super geekgirrl and the 3gs does most of what I want it to. Yes, I'm craving the 4s but want to wait for the 5 which will have teleportation built into it.
I'm also still on the 4.0.1 firmware. Planning on upgrading to the new firmware when I want to spend the time.

I recently had to upgrade to a 4s since our corporate carrier switched to Verizon. I still have both an original iPhone as well as a 3GS. Original is by far the most sturdy model. Looks as good as the day I got it and I never even used a case with it. Button feedback is the best of all the models. I like the the in-hand feel of the 3GS most. It was wider than the other models and the curved sides just felt comfortable. I get a hand cramp holding the 4s for extended periods.

I lost my 4 around the end of July last year at a bar. (dead battery, never appeared on find my iPhone.) It was around the time at the height of the iPhone 5 rumors so I reverted to my original model 8gb while waiting for what eventually became the 4s to come out. It was unbearably slow for about a week, then I just got used to using it again. Sadly the battery life was ungodly low by that time, and the 4s didn't really impress me, so I bought a iPhone 4 32gb off a guy on Craigslist and am back on that now. I still love my original iPhone though. It sits permanently on a cradle in my bathroom and streams pandora for me while I get ready in the mornings.
