  In it's time, the 3GS was a really stellar phone, best in class for 2009, easily. It's been a reliable and incredibly useful tool to have around. Unlike later iPhones, the 3GS is built like a tank, I've dropped mine countless times onto a variety of less-than-friendly surfaces and it always remains unscathed. The plastic construction isn't quite up to par with more metallic phones, but it more than holds it's own against the majority of the market. A very solid workhorse machine.
