Apple Iphone 3G 8GB

Advantages: A great piece of hardware with unlimited possiblilities.
Disadvantages: Can't delete pre installed apps

...I have been a customer of O2 for many years now and so after resisting as long as I could I finally gave in and got the Apple Iphone 3G on contract. I have to say I have no regrets! The Iphone 3G is a completley touchscreen phone with internet capabilities. Not only can the phone connect to wifi signals it is also permanently connected via your network provider, all the while you have signal anyway! I find that the speed of the internet on this phone is sufficient for what I use it for (train times, facebook, emails etc), it get's a bit faster when connected to wifi rather then your network providers internet but to be honest I find the normal 3G speed is fine for me. The great thing about the phone is the applications you can add; the phone can be completly tailored to you and becomes unique for everyone! There are plenty of free apps...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

Apple iPhone 3G

Advantages: A great phone
Disadvantages: None, in my opinion!

...So, as I?m sure everyone on here who has an iPhone has done, here?s my review on this little beauty?just by that you can already guess, I?m a fan of this! After my last contract with o2 expired three months back, I had the choice to renew everything and seeing as there was a distinct lack of phones available with o2 (in hindsight, I would have perhaps opted to look at the phones available with contracts provided by the Carphone Warehouse) I bit the bullet and went for the iPhone 3G 8GB version?the 3GS was available, but I?m not made of money and lets be honest, to pay that much extra for a bit more storage space, voice control and a video camera is not worth it in my honest opinion. I?m sure you?re all aware of what it looks like, but if not it?s a touch screen operated phone which is a glossy black little number. A smooth back cover...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

The Apple Iphone 3G

Advantages: touch screen, push email, sat nav, wifi
Disadvantages: heat sensative, battery life

...I have had the Apple Iphone 3G since its UK launch date. I was really excited to get one as the launch of the standard Iphone back in November had really got me a taste for all things Apple. There is so much to say about this device that I do not know where to begin. First of all it is much better value for money. The standard Iphone set me back £269 where as this one was free. O2 let me upgrade to it for free as well, so I cannot fault the network supplier, despite the bad press they received around the launch. The phone itself does everything that you could want from a phone and so much more. The best feature is the wifi connection - I go to coffee houses a lot and they all supply the Cloud wifi, this is unlimted and free as part of the contract so I get to surf broadband for free when I am out and about! The best thing about...

3G vs 3G(S)

Advantages: Aesthetics, Range of Applications, Portability and Touch function
Disadvantages: Limited to only O2 Customers, and Short Battery Life

...recognised and only be touched by a human hand. Apps Store application is very useful where you can access to get more applications for free and with charge. The selections of these applications are also massive. Few of the disadvantage of the iPhone, i would say is the battery life. I have been charging my iPhone nearly every day and the longest i have gone for, is 3 days. Also, the ringtones cannot be personalised which limits the choice. The fact that iPhone is only available in O2 gives consumer the limitation of network. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I think iPhone 3G is the best phone in the market and within the iPhone selection. It is a compilation of every-day functions and it's the cheapest out of all the iPhones. Why do you need to pay extra 100, and 200pounds more to have video recording, better camera, and improved performance? Is it...

Apple iphone 3G - WOW...!!!

Advantages: constant updates, very sleek,
Disadvantages: worried about scratching it

...around your phone without having to scroll through tons of menu's. It's all just one click away. Apart from the usual icons you would expect to have on most phones i.e. text, contacts...there is an icon called App store...pure genius who ever came up with this idea, this lets you download ANY icon about pretty much ANYTHING. I would say it also probably the main feature of the phone too. It doesn't matter if your in the stocks and shares market, love eating out at restaurants, you need a to do list for reminders, you like to play a few games, check the weather, want the currency rates for your next holiday, can't find the public toilets, are lost in the middle of know where...there will be an App to help you out. The sound quality on the phone is very good, obviously you have headphone too as it is an ipod aswell. The iphone 3G is a huge...

wonders of the Apple iphone 3G S

Advantages: Lovely designs, rugged and durable, long battery staying time, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Could be difficult to use for senior citizens

...its a wonderful phone, very lovely screen and easy to use. Can browse and do so many things without stress: can snap and format your pictures before uploading them unto your sight (which is what i love most about it). It has a longer battery time, and its rugged as well. Its good value for money. For music lovers, its user friendly when you want to download and store music. you can snap, redesign before uploading your pictures on social networking sites like facebook, which i love very much. It can be use for browsing as well. Its easy to use, the graphics and text quality is superb, and its upload and download capacity is wonderful (though has to do with your connection), but there are phones that i have used in the past that, even though the network operators were good, but the phones were still not too saisfactory like the apple phone...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G S (3GS)

iPhone 3G

Advantages: Looks, interface, quality, fun
Disadvantages: Camera could be better

...The iPhone 3G is (almost) all the phone you'll ever need. Don't listen to the iPhone knockers, it's a fantastic piece of kit, it's so slick and easy to use that it even makes me use it to call people more than I ever normally would (I am a man after all so phone calls are short and not always sweet!). The build quality is excellent, I've had mine for a few months now and there isn't a scratch on any surface, it (almost) never crashes (occasionally Safari crashes after a heavy browsing session, and some 3rd party apps crash from time to time). The interface is REALLY slick. All of the built -in applications and most of the 3rd party ones you can download from the App Store (more later) integrate with each other very well. For example, if you have a friend's postal address in their Contact, start typing their name in the GPS...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

Apple iPhone 3G

Advantages: handy for city living, as is packed with all you need to get around
Disadvantages: only available on o2 in the uk, makes it costly

...After owning various Nokia handsets since the advent of my first phone, I finally switched a couple of weeks ago and bought the iPhone 3G. And boy was it a good switch. Although initially the battery life seemed somewhat short, now that the novelty is wearing off it lasts longer day by day. Out of the box it was quick and easy to set up and was instantly useable, and though I've never owned a touch screen before, I was able to master the iPhone's with ease quite quickly. The app store feature means that the phone can be specifically tailored to you personally making what is becoming a common phone individual still. Although I was initially annoyed with the inability to send and receive picture messages , a quick search of the app store gave me a free mms app, and the payment for texts goes through paypal, which eases the monthly bill...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G. After long waiting now it's mine to enjoy!

Advantages: cellphone with ipod, camera and internet all in one and in your pocket, loads of apps to download
Disadvantages: battery life, syncing with iTunes, rubbish default earphones

... iPhone 3G The Apple product that has been discussed, loved or hated for almost a year. I'm sure you've already read a review on it, so you might as well read one more. And just in case you are not really interested in the iPhone...did you know that the Apple logo at the back of the iPhone 3G works excellent as a mirror? Not that I care so much about my good looks, but cmon, people eat buns with poppy seeds all the time! Available versions: 8GB Black, 16GB Black or White Weight: 133g Height: 115.5mm Width: 62.1mm Depth: 12.3mm Screen: 3.5inch, 480 x 320 pix, resolution 163 ppi The iPhone 3G has a hardplastic backside, the edge is metal and the front is touchscreen. According to the size specs you can see it's not a tiny baby, but that's for the sake of a huge screen, so media are more comfortably used. I don...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G review.

Advantages: As stated.
Disadvantages: As stated.

...to type something is surprisingly easy to use & within a few weeks, I began using my thumbs to type. The keyboard can also be changed to suit other languages. I have stuck on an InvisibleShield to prevent it from getting scratched, without having to keep it in a case, as it is quite delicate. I have been very careful with it & it has worked very well for me. Now for the the flaws.... With the Youtube feature, sometimes it does not connect to the internet even when Safari browser is in working order. The 3G symbol must be apparant for it to connect whereas with Safari, only the signal must be sufficient. This is quite annoying, as the 3G symbol is unapparant quite often. Can't really fault the AppStore, only that some of the applications that look really good are quite pricey :( Maps can't always connect to the internet, but...
