I think we all remember the summer of 2007 when this beauty first sprang on to the market. The Apple iPhone 3G S was one of those phones that offered an 8GB or 16GB data space but although this was the first real smartphone it has really been overtaken by the multitude of replacement smartphones flooding the market, some of which are just as good and others are even better.

On the day it was released onto the market it had folks forming long lines to grab this phone and have it in their possession. Many people queued through the night to get their hands on the elusive 3G S, and why not? It was a phone that sang and danced like no other around at that time. The Apple iPhone 3G S is the updated version with a faster internet access speed and much easier interfacing with the likes of Facebook and Twitter.

The camera was improved vastly; and the battery life improved. The 16GB version allowed one to store far more of your music files, videos and images. However, the Apple iPhone 3G S greatest feature is the ability to browse the internet at much faster speeds than many of its competitors managed to. The operating system being the iOS was probably the first thing to take praise for such an achievement. The way the Apple iPhone 3G S utilizes with media and the excellent apps it manages to use, upload and update with ease have made the iPhone 3G S a real family favorite.

The touch screen was always easy to use and paved the way for a generation or two of smartphones to use similar devices and swipe screen technologies. Cutting and pasting data on the Apple iPhone 3G S was a breeze too. There are many who are instantly happy with the Apple iPhone 3G S and have no intention of changing from any iPhone unless it is an upgrade or the next iPhone model.

The Apple iPhone 3G S was a real winner for music lovers as so many of us downloaded iTunes, the music player and Apple store. The iPhone features this naturally and integrates it well within the confines of the Apple iPhone 3G S. Many people downloaded iTunes even if they did not have an Apple Mac PC at the time because iTunes was so much better than the opposition on the market.

Cell phones are getting more advanced and expensive every year. In today's society almost everybody has a phone, everybody uses their phone, and almost everybody now has a smart phone, in which their whole world resides. Email, Facebook, contacts, Twitter etc... Because of our huge reliance on our phones, more and more people are prone to break their phones each year, and for those of us that opted out of insurance, these breaks can be really expensive to fix and even more expensive to replace. But lets face it, looking through a cracked screen is really annoying, and not so great on your finger tips. Chances are you are going to get sick of it and your going to have to eventually replace it. So where do you go? If you have an iPhone, going to an apple store might be the obvious choice. They're a trusted company, and extremely helpful, but surprisingly choosing an alternative repair shop may be cheaper, and faster!

The average price for a screen repair at an apple store is right around 200 bucks! That is almost half the cost of your phone. There are a few different options you have to avoid spending that much money. The first is do-it-yourself kits. There are a variety of do-it-yourself kits out their ranging anywhere from 12 dollars to 70. Do-it-yourself kits can be confusing and frustrating and is not for everyone. Making sure you order the correct kit for your version of phone is key, because not all phones have the same electronic connections and/or size. Before deciding which kit is best, do some research and keep in mind that just because one kit is more expensive than another doesn't always mean its better, and vice versa. Make sure to read customer comments and reviews, and always double check and make sure its the kit that was made for your phone.

So if do-it-yourself projects are not your thing, try a local phone repair shop. Not only are their services usually cheaper and just as trustworthy as taking it into the place you bought it, or shipping it out to the company for repair, but they are usually faster too. Many repair shops guarantee to have your phone fixed within an hour or less, and some even provide in-home or mail-in services for those who are strapped with time or stuck at work during business hours.
