iPhone 3GS for TP2??

smurfgod · #1 (**permalink**) 07-26-2010, 10:47 PM

I got an iPhone 3gs 32 gig white for my 25th bday and I ordered an iPhone4 the day before..

A friend of mine has a new Touch Pro 2 and was wanting my 3Gs..Is it worth it??

Just really wandering if it's worth it. Mines unlocked and jailbroken(it's a factory unlock).

Thanks guys

And as for unlocking and flashing, I've done it and am very comfortable doing it..Are the roms good??

from experience you have better luck selling it outright to someone, then purchasing a tp2, the 32gb 3gs can be quite valuable to someone compared to a tp2 from a resale standpoint. That's from my opinion and experience in sales, but its up to you cupcake.

Itll depend on what you are looking for. If customization is your thing than youll probably like it. And yes there are many good roms but there all differant. You would have to try them yourself and see what you like. Hope this helps.

value, speed, apps 3gs definitely.
Customization, "freedom", tp2

No it's not worth a straight trade. You are better off outright selling the iPhone and then buying a TP2 if you want one.

That internal storage capability makes it a valuable commodity. You'll want at least $300'ish for it, where a TP2 owner is lucky to get $200-$225 for their used phones.

I know about the price difference and shit(and mine's factory unlocked as well), but as long as it's got WiFi and I can tinker with it, I love it. I'll prolly use it for about a month and ebay it anyway.

I've had a couple 6900's and a few other WinMo phones, and have always wanted a TP2.

I'm still thinking about it but idk.

The only few advantages of the tp2 are swype, tethering and hardware keyboard and actual phone abilities.

My old 3G and even 2g, easily are better devices. The tp2 really can't compare
I don't agree with this at all.

Tell us why???

When people are debating between 2 phones, and the iphone is one of them, why do people always compare apps??

The iPhone is a smartphone..Bottom line.It does cool shit, but in the end, it's still a phone.

Then theres the TP2. Computer?? Thats what I thought as well..lol

The TP2 beats the iPhone on soooo many levels it's not even funny. In regards for the apps...screw your apps..lol..we have applications..There the big brother to the iphones "apps"...lol

Anyway, I am getting a white iPhone 4, ut that is only because I'm gonna put it on ebay and make maybe x3 my money when I sell it. I just like the TP2.

I will say tho, the iPhone has the best keyboard I have ever used on any phone.

Like I said before its going to be a matter of what it is your looking for a phone. both have pros and cons. The iphone is nice if you just want something that works good out of the box and cool apps. the tp2 needs some tinkering and customization to get it the way you like it. People on these boards, myself included, enjoy customizing and messing with tweaks. Some can be overwhelming but with some research its pretty fun. It'll always be iphone vs etc. For me personally, the iphone is pretty boring. Even jailbroken your still limited to customization (Example: home screen layout) I have an Ipod touch 32g jailbroken and that suits my needs for what it is/does. Again its all about personal preference.

I can understand if ppl dont like the iphone but why hate it? It may not be a very open OS but in terms of stability and smoothness iOS completely dominates WinMo. If u dont like the cage of the iPhone but at the same time u dont wanna have to troubleshoot your phone the majority of the day, (Ask any WinMo user) I would go for android or wait on WP7.

LOL @ people sticking up for the TP2, as much as i love mine, it simply doesnt compare to how smooth and snappy the iphone is.

Comparing a 2 day fresh stock ROM TP2 to an iphone MIGHT come close, but it seems like the TP2 self destructs over time.

I got my TP2 last week, ran fine, its been literally 10 days and now my phone is starting to slow down... quite dissapointing really, but I guess thats windows mobile for ya.
