Which Is The Better Deal, Verizon’s iPhone 4 or AT&T’s $49 iPhone 3GS?

iPhone Showdown:  Verizon’s iPhone 4 – $199 vs.  AT&T’s iPhone 3Gs – $49

By: Dappered Tech Correspondent Paul Olson

After months (years?) of rumors, AT&T’s exclusive iPhone deal is ending.  If you hadn’t heard, Verizon will start selling Apple’s iPhone 4 on February 10th.  No, it’s not 4G, and it’s not an iPhone 5.  It’s just an iPhone 4, on Verizon’s big network.  It’s one defining feature: it can act as a WiFi hotspot.

In response, AT&T dropped the price of the iPhone 3GS to $49 (with contract).  The iPhone 3GS doesn’t have “retina display” or a front-facing camera, but it’s still an iPhone.  Unfortunately, it’s on AT&T, but maybe Verizon’s iPhone will lure away some of the heavy users crowding (and slowing down) AT&T’s network.

What do you think?  At Dappered, our current favorite smartphone is the Samsung Intercept on Virgin Mobile.  Are either of these phones a better deal?  Are you planning to buy either phone right now?  Let us know what you think in the comments.
