you could. So long as you had a battery that had power left in it, the iPhone 3GS would turn on and work. However, actually running the phone might be more problematic on account of its minuscule CPU and memory.

Worth The Price
OK so I'm a bit late with this review but at least my review will be based on quite a few years of regular use. When I got it originally, it was my second iPhone and I got it as part of a deal with the phone company. Overall I can honestly say that it has been a great phone in so many ways. Never had any big issues with it. Everything works fine but sometimes I notice it gets a bit slow for a few seconds and then works fine. It is something I don't like but I can live with it.
As the operating system was updated it did get a little bit slower and the battery life fades but that's to be expected with an older phone. With the impending launch of the iPhone 6, I think maybe time to say goodbye to my old faithful 3GS and move to a newer model. It has served me well and while at the time of purchase, it seemed expensive, I can now say for sure, it was well worth the price.

Great Buy At Discounted Price (but Underlying Issues)
After Apple slashed the price of the 3GS, it has been selling like hot cakes. I have had the phone for almost 6 months now and there is very little i can complain about.
The interface is excellent and the feel of owning this device is amazing.
There are the regular apple complaints like no flash, too much effort for media transfer etc but the overall feel of the product makes it worth it.
Catch: You will go nuts trying to get a good case for this as most shops or online stores will only show you "Out Of Stock".
Battery is an issue and the phone loses steam pretty quick on excessive internet and multimedia usage. Not the best at catching weak signals. You might find yourself switching the airplane mode on and off to refresh signal search.

Just As Good As Expected.
iPhone is fantastic. It's now an extension of my right hand!
I had an iPod Touch so I knew what to expect, of course as it's a phone it could be a bit annoying with the short battery life... but that's life with smartphones. Also I don't know if I imagined this but it feels like the battery life is actually improving?!
Bought from PhoneShop.co.uk who got me the deal with internet included and just 50 minutes and 100 texts as I don't hardly make any calls!
Slightly nervous about having a 24 month contract just in case it breaks or anything. I didn't get a screen protector which is the only regret I have.
if you like hack and slash with text only dialogue and the game adlbio then yes i'm still looking for gold items like in adlbio i think it has purple blue green and gold to add stats like life steal and mana leech

Would Recommend But Warranty / Repairs A Joke
I love my iphone but I have a gripe that I think applies to many. When things go wrong and you are out of the 12 months warranty nobody from Orange or Apple want to know you!!!!!
It is well documented that problems existed with all the iphones so if there are so many problems, and lets face it iphones are not cheap to buy, why is it that you have to have expensive insurance to see out your contract.
Are Apple basically saying that the iphone is only good if you have a 1 year contract?
My iphone developed a software glitch and started calling people from my phonebook at all hours (even 2,3,4am) but the calls didnt show in the calls list. After several restores the phone then wouldnt recognise the Apple supplied charger so it effectively ran flat and couldnt be used.
Orange and Apple didnt want to know as phone was 14months old. But luckily I have insurance BUT it took 9 weeks to get it fixed. Did orange credit me the lost 2 months? Did they hell as like.
DEAR APPLE, I LOVE THE IPHONE BUT SEEING AS 1 YEAR CONTRACTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE WHY WONT YOU SUPPORT THE PRODUCT TO A MORE REALISTIC 18,24 MONTHS which would fit in more with contract lengths???????

Iphone 3gs - Bluetooth Battery Life.
I bought a iphone 3gs on wednesday thinking it was a brilliant phone everyone is going on about them oh you can do this and that its great i have liked the iphone since the first iphone came out a few years back and have wanted one and i wouldnt normally pay £400 for a phone but i thought apple was a good make wich it is in some ways. but i cannot connect my bluetooth from my iphone to my computer or any of my familys phone. and the battery life not that great either i have been charging this quite alot since i got it on wednesday the bluetooth and batterey really needs to be improved anything else i am happy with but im dissapointed with the bluetooth and battery. apple or the phone shops you buy it from should tell you this before you purchase it otherwise its false advertisement and i think that the price should be dropped for the poor bluetooth and battery life.

Coming Up To The Period Now Where I Can Upgrade Th
Coming up to the period now where I can upgrade this phone (I've had it for just over a year) so thought it was an ideal time to review it seen as though it's been very well used.
I've been very happy with it, zero tech problems with it, although now its full of apps it does get a little sluggish.
The best thing about this phone is its versatility - its ideal for email, web browsing, texting, calendars and much much more. And is in no way dated despite being 2 years old.
What could be improved? Battery life and the camera quality are the two let downs for me. I'd like to see a 5 megapixel + in the new one, with a flash as taking photos in poorly lit places is no good. Battery life is also poor (i have to charge it every night).
