the iPhone is pretty much rock solid. The glass is very strong and will resist almost all scratches. The only problem you have to worry about is the black or white plastic on the back getting smudgy/scratched. However, I purchased an "Invisible Shield" for it which makes it pretty much indestructible aside from cars or very high drops.

Also, the 3G stands for "third generation cell phone towers". The iPhone comes in 8GB (gigabyte) and 16GB models, which allow you to store songs, movies, apps, etc. For the price difference between the $199 8GB and the $299 16GB, go for the 16GB model. Definitely worth it in the end.

Oh, and get a case like the invisible shield. A search on YouTube will show you exactly why. I wouldn't bring my phone with me if it didn't have that scratch protection since I'm such a perfectionist.

If they did you would hear every naysayer yelling about how fragile the iPhone is.  Fortunately that's not the case.  The iPhone is far sturdier than it looks.  The only way I've heard of someone breaking it was smashing it with a hammer or putting it in your pocket and leaning over a steel beam and trying to pick up something heavy on the other side.  This causes you to brace your feet and legs against the pole and "crush" your iPhone as you lift.  This would destroy any phone for that matter.

Do a youtube search for the iPhone scratch test and you'll be impressed.

Good luck.

no its amazing ive dropped mine already and its fine, just get a cover for it.... you will be fine. get the 16G. you will regret the 8G

Answer 6

3g is apart of the name..theres only 8g and 16g..id get the 8g its cheaper and it has jus enough room

Answer 7

in 3g,

the "g" doesnt stand for gigabyte.

3g just means its fast.
