    I used to have an iPhone 3gs but I dropped it a few times and got fed up of it so I sold it and bought a blackberry.

    I now really regret it and so am looking in to buying another iPhone. I have 2 options.

    A used iPhone 4 (very good condition) or a new iPhone 3gs (for €70 or so less than the used iPhone 4). Both are 16gb.

    Is there much of a step up with the iPhone 4?

    I would go for the iPhone 4. Much faster. 512mb ram.

    Much faster, much clearer screen, two cameras, gyroscope (good for some apps) but the phone reception is not as good as the 3gs so if you make a lot of calls you will notice a difference - more dropped calls.

    I've never had one dropped call with my iPhone 4 in the 6 or so months I've had it.

    Get the iPhone 4 - it's worth the extra €70 (unless you're REALLY strapped for cash).

    Never had a dropped call on o2 iphone4. Same on my previous 3G and efore that 2G.
    My old job are on vodafone with the iphone4 who can't talk for more than 5mins without it dropping although it was the same on the previous 3GS and blackberrys. So it's not the phones fault
