    Find out the battery life, was reading that 2nd hand 3G's batteries can have short life because they're old

    Well what firmware does it have? I think the 3G's performance is lowered if it has 4.0. I know the 3GS's performance does when running 4.0

    3.1.2 or 3.1.3 imo would be the best

    And yeah jailbroken is must have :D
    If the iphone isn't unlocked to all networks you should be able to unlock it when it's jailbroken

    When you get your iphone just message me and I'll just run you through what you have to do

    It's literally just download a program, stick your iphone into your computer and press a button

    Oh yeah and it's free :D
