Apple IPhone 3GS 16GB

This will just be a quick description of the iPhone and will keep updating!

A fantastic touchscreen user interface of the iPhone is one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Combining a phone, mp3 player, video and camera and safari (web browser), the iPhone is a great looking mobile device it has a nice slim design the the weight of the device is not very heavy at all, in total the iPhone weighs a total of 138 grams (4.8 ounces).
A lot of people have had a lot of signal problems with there iPhone i dont mean the i iPhone four either i mean the iPhone three or 3gs there has been repotred signal problems too since this has been launched, but i am pleased to say i have never really had any signal problems with mine or any other people i know that have the iPhone three and 3gs, the 3GS is fantastic on this phone also had a great service using this feature.

The overall function off the Apple Iphone is so easy to work, just slide your fingers across the screen user face to scroll the pages from left to right!, its very quick to react, the general iPhone is updated via i-tunes which you should install on your computer to sync the phone with. What does syncing mean and do?!?! basically syncing the iPhone to the computer will save a backup file off whats on your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with your device, so you can retrieve all its old data back!, installing applications, adding music and films to your iPod system.

Email:

I love this feature on this phone as i use my email a lot. So when i am out at work or i am not able to get to my PC to check my email i can just tap the email logo on the bottom left corner and it will connect to the email server to download which new emails i may have received, also you can create more then one email account so if you do have more than one important email address you can add the other email address's to the email settings.
To set up an email address for the IPhone could not be any easier, its very simple, all you have to do is tap on the settings icon>Mail> Under the "accounts" categories tab "Add Account" and select from the list which email service provider you are with, if you dont see your email service provider dont worry just tab other and then wenter your details, and your emails will be set up and completed, there is all different kind off features you can change for your email use if you wish to do so, if you want to recieve emails automacticly just go into the Email settings and select "fetch new data" and select how often you would like your Iphone to check for new emails.

Safari:

This is the Iphone Web browser, its very easy to use, very quick and you cant go wrong with it, it has a "Bookmarks" Section so can store all your favorites websites in specific folders, to can navigate forwards to backwards on the web browser, also you can havemore then one website open at a time i have had as many as eight open at a time!, The only bad feature with the safari is you cant view flash websites as the ihpnoe doesnt support macromedia flash which is very annoying at times, so try to avoid websites that contain flash on them as you wont be able to view them.
Ipod:

The IPOD is where you can listen to all off your music or watch any videos you have input on your iPhone, depending on the size of your iPhone you can store so many video, films tv programes and mp3 onto your phone, if you have a 8gb iPhone you could store up to as many as 2500 songs but dont forget thats with no other storage being taken up, if you have a 16gb iPhone three you could store up to as many as 5000 with no other storage!, The ipod can give you very accurate information of the song you are listening to as the following,the title of the song, the artisit, the length the file size, the remaining time left in the song, you can also have shuffle mode switched on, What is Shuffle Mode?!?! Shuffle mode will just play a random song from random in the playlist you have selected to play shuffle mode in. in the IPOD you can import files of music, albums, films and also create play list, you have to do this via itunes which personaly i hate using as it can be a nightmare!, but if you look around the internet or on the apps store on your iPhone you can find FREE applications for your laptop or Iphone to create you SIMPLE and EASY playlists in less then a minute! you can also download podcasts and audiobooks to your ipod from the internet and itunes.
Applications

This is why the iPhone is so so popular, due to the applications for the phone, you can get applications for litrealy anything now a days! from books, games, sports, lifestyle, and so on...if you go on the apps store via your iPhone or on your computer, via itunes all applications a filtered down to certain categories there are thousands off application some where you have to pay for but also are also free, applications are not expensive, a lot of applications are as dear a £1.19 to buy. How do i remove a App?!?! basicly an easy way to remove an app from your iPhone is to tap and hold any icon on the screen of your iPhone for a few sceens so all the symbols start to shake with a x in the corner off all the icons, just tap the shakey icon and select delete and it will remove the application from your phone, and to stop all the icons from shaking just press the home button once and that will resume your iPhone back to normal mode :-)

My overall rating of the Iphone 3gs is 9/10 why only 9?? because the battery life is very poor, i sometimes have to charge my phone twice a day depending on when i use it and what i use it for, my phone seems to drain the battery when i constanly use the internet! but now there is a soloution for that! if you search the internet for a mili power skin its basicly a cover for your phone which has a battery at the bottom off it which connect to your phone giving you triple battery power!, they general cost about £40-£50 but if you ebay it you can find them for £35!
hopfully you will find this review useful for my first review, please dont hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and any ideas to make this review better, many thanks!

    Good on the content, but this is in desperate need of a proof read or spelling and grammar check as the huge number of typos are a distraction from the actual content of the review.
