    I was offered a factory unlocked 3GS yesterday for 250€. Reakon I could have got it for €200 no hassle as I bought another 3GS for 150€ a month ago. So 120€ seems dear for a 3G.

    the 3g is a bit slow TBH, jailbroken usually means no GPS also, although for 120 I'd buy it.

    120 is an ok price, its slow but not unusable.

    Yea fully agree, the 3g used to be fastish, just cant keep up with the newer ios's, I think they go as far as 4.1 then were forgotten about, but not a bad price.

    3g is pretty slow. Just about usable.

    If its on the ipad baseband the GPS may be gone, although I've only ever seen one with GPS issues and I've seen dozens of ipad firmwares on 3G/3GS
