Do not get the 3G, you can not run the new ISO 5 software on it.
Get the 3gs or higher. Ive just come from the 3gs in white, great phone and can not fault it. Works well with the new ISO 5

Sold my 32gb 3GS to my brother for £90 and he loves it. I personally would have kept it but fancied a change.

Now the 4s is out, I recon you'll get a 3gs within your price budget, £150 - £170

Have a look at this: http://www.apple.com/ios/
Has some great little features. The main one I think is iMessage. Basically like BBM but for iphone running iOS 5 
The 3gs is more than capable running it, as I did.
If my gf didnt need a new phone, I would of happily kept my 3gs.

a normal iphone is very good,
a jailbroken iphone is untouchable by any other phone 
once you have one youll be like "wtf ive been missing out.."

what is "jailbroken"?
I know it means you can get apps for free...but how is it done/what happens to make it like that?

Basically it lets you to customise pretty much anything on the phone.
From amazing themes to changing the carrier name to anything, impressive stuff. And so easy to do, if anything goes wrong just restore the iphone and back up from before the Jailbreak and whalaa 
Google and YouTube 'iPhone cydia' Will be loads of info and guides to what it can do

like above ^
you can make all the icons change, mess with the layouts, basically turn it into whatever you want and get apps that do cool things not available in the appstore
a must! imo..

Everyone says, once you jailbreak an iphone you'll never do anything else.
I havn't done it as im scared that'll go wrong, even though I know it can easily be fixed

Do you run cydia b0t13?
What happens when you need to update the phone to the new software?
Does it still run well with iTunes on the jailbreak?
