Agreed. I gave my old 3GS to my kids (minus the SIM of course) when I got my 4. With IOS 5 it's still very smooth and responsive. We also have an old 3G, thoug

Agreed. I gave my old 3GS to my kids (minus the SIM of course) when I got my 4. With IOS 5 it's still very smooth and responsive. We also have an old 3G, though, and that's dog slow. But no one should be surprised by that - the 3G has an ARMv6 chip in it without thumb2. The 3GS with its ARMv7 chip was a huge step change in performance.
