Advantages: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life. Disadvantages: The Megapixel of the camera is put to shame by other phones available.
...O2 would be stocking the Apple iPhone as of November the 9th. Not only was I looking for a new mobile contract, but also a replacement MP3 player so the Apple iPhone seemed ideal. I made plans to purchase the iPhone and on the evening of release made my way down to the nearest O2 store upon finishing work, bagging myself my very own iPhone at a price of £269. Although the price did seem a little steep, especially considering that I would be paying ... ...The design of the Apple iPhone was one of the first things that attracted me to it. I had previously been looking at the LG Prada phone which like this one is operated through touch sensitivity. This seemed an interesting concept to me, and having always used button based phones before I found that the absence of masses of buttons made the phone far more attractive than any I had owned in the past. Some would perhaps argue that the design of the ...

...Some history:
Apple have been making computers since the 1970's and were the first people to launch what we now call a home computer with the Apple II microcomputer in 1977. Since then, they have been at the front of design and innovation, despite having a few failures along the way, such as the Apple Newton in the 1990's. Apple have recently had two turnarounds, the first being the launch of the iMac in 1998 (basically a portable TV size computer ... ...the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history!
iPhone history:
During late 2006, rumours were common that Apple were to launch a phone of some description, and these rumours were put to bed on the 29th June 2007 when Apple announced the iPhone. It was initially launched with a 4GB and 8GB memory, but was also launched into some confusion. The trademark iPhone actually belonged to Cisco. Whilst the details of ...

...giving a review on the Apple IPhone, ive had it for about two months now, and feel its about appropriate time to give my views on the product, as ive had enough time to play around and get use to it. The IPhone was given to me as a present, a few months back, I was at first not sure whether I wanted the IPhone, it seemed too expensive and full of applications and tools I really didn't want. I already had an Ipod and a Phone. so my thinking was why ... ...it's a way for both Apple and O2 to make some money. We then had to choose a price plan that suited me, I was always a texter, I could never finish my limits and so wanted something that would suit me, I got the £35 a month contract that included 600 minutes and 500 texts, more than enough to suit my needs. However for people looking for more or less options, they also had the following price plans;

...we all bought one, and Apple then brought one out which is twice the size. A tad annoying if you'd just bought the 8GB version perhaps, but good news if you didn't. Yes, the 16GB costs more, but oh oh oh, what a thing of beauty this is....

Now Apple have produced this 16GB version, the iPhone gives the iPod Touch a run for its money as the greatest MP3 player you can buy. You look through your music using the CoverFlow browsing system, which activates automatically when you turn the iPhone on its side. CoverFlow allows you to view your music by the album cover; touching an album will spin it around to reveal its contents. Oh that's so beautiful. I wish I'd ...

...big its HUGE. Apple claimed that the iPhone was five years ahead of the competition and when you have a play with the little thing you start believing all their propaganda. Touch the little phone icon on the screen and the address book appears, tap the name and the iPhone makes a call, all very simple. Touch the picture icon and your pictures magically appear.

Once you've owned an iPhone it's hard to imagine ever going back to a normal phone. The iPhone is an iPod too of course. The iPhone plays music and video, so you don’t need an iPod anymore. The typical iPhone has 8giga bytes of memory which can hold approx. 2000 songs. Can you current phone do that? Unfortunately ...

The iPhone is hard to talk about wih so many mixed feelings. There are things about it which I love more than any phone I have ever owned but then there are also things about it which I basolutely detest. I have owned an iPhone for 4 months and heres what i think....
Ill start with some of the good points

There are many very useful applications to download as well as amusing games and silly applications that shows off the iPhones capabilities and will amuse your friends for hours making you very popular entertainment.

Advantages: 1. user friendly and so simple to use 2. it has a good resolution for pictures Disadvantages: 1. doesn't have zoom and flash when taking pictures in the dark 2. you can't forward messages
I have been using Apple Iphone Original (the first one introduced by Apple) for six months until it was stolen just a few days ago. It was the best phone I ever had. It was handy, sleek and feels good to the touch. Mine was silver and it never had a single scratch on its screen though there were scratches at the back. It is so user friendly. And so convenient for sending text messaging, emailing, calling and accessing the internet because of its ... ...The pictures' resolution are so good and clear and you can easily browse through the photo gallery. If there is Wifi connection, you can easily send the pictures you have taken. You can also store videos, songs, notes and detailed contact information. It is a great organizer. The text messages appear like bubbles just like the way as it appears in comic books. And I was so impressed by the way it can easily download games because it has its own Installer ...

...not being a fan of Apple products, however considering the hype that the iPhone generated, I wanted to give the phone and try and have a look further into it's features and usability.
The first thing that you notice about the iPhone is of course it's appearance. I must admit that the look of the phone is quite appealing, however I find the lack of physical keyboard quite inconvenient, but I shall include more detail about that shortly.
The layout ... ...send my phone away to Apple to get it replaced! I then noticed that there is no slot for expanding the memory. Now, I understand that depending on which version of the iPhone you purchase, you can have a large amount of in-built memory. However, my SE P1i cost almost half the amount of the iPhone, and mine is expandable up to 32GB. Whilst a smaller capacity may be suitable for a lot of people who intend to use the iPhone primarily as a music player, ...

Not only is it a phone, but it is an iPod. The iPhone is a revolutionary cell phone that has many amazing features. One of the most well-known features is the touch screen. With a single tap of your finger, you can be reading the newspaper, checking your email, taking a picture and many more! I think the most useful applications are the iPod, the phone, and safari (Apple's internet browser). The iPhone's storage is 8gb. That can hold about 2000 songs! ... ...the amazing new cover-flow feature, which is used by simply rotating the iPhone! With the iPhone, you have a special feature called "Visual Voicemail". Instead of listening to every voicemail message you have, until you find the one you want, you can just tap it and you are listening to it! With visual voicemail, you can pause, play, rewind, and fast forward your messages! You can also pick the messages you want to listen to. The iPhone has a built ...

Advantages: Revolutionary interface, ease of use Disadvantages: Lacks a couple of essential features
...was putting my trust in Apple to meet my expectations as it is an expensive device and I rely on my phone a lot. After nearly a half a year of use I can say that this is the best phone I have ever owned.
People argue that the features on this phone have been around before and they would be right. However, Apple has never really invented stuff, they have just took new stuff and made it usable to the everyday user with a highly intuitive interface. ... ...took a gamble on Apple being able to deliver on creating an amazing interface, and boy did they do that and then some. I have had email capabilities on other phones such as the Sony Ericcson W880i, which also had music capabilites, a you could surf the net on it. I tried these features, but after using them once I gave up on them. With the iPhone it is so easy. It is difficult to explain unless you actually use one but once you do you will realise, ...

You can watch movies, tv shows, music videos, in pure beauty, without squinting on the screen, which you can touch! The controls are simple, you touch. Thats all you need to do.

...iPhone. This is the first Apple product that I have ever had that hasn't had photos taken first in its virgin, fingerprint free state. That should give you some idea of how excited I was after opening it.
The iPhone form factor is superb, in fact a lot slimmer than I had expected. The actual screen real estate makes it comparable to the sleeker PDA's available today. The rounded corners make it feel smaller than it actually is. In the hand, it is ... ...one of the most exciting Apple products I have had the pleasure of using to date. When launched on November 9th, it will make a lot of people really happy. If you were having second thoughts, then don't, you will not be disappointed.

Thank you for reading my review on the iphone, ...
