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

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

iPhone 3G - It's Your Call

Advantages: Beautiful Machine - has everything you need
Disadvantages: No Flash player, Price, Emotional attachment

...The iPhone is one of the Electronics industry's most famous, critically accliamed and popular machines of all time. It has sold millions worldwide and is commonly seen as a symbol of both style and wealth. Now its manufacturers Apple have unveiled the 3G model that will hit the stores on the 11th of July 2008. What makes it so different? Well the answer to that question is - many things : *The iPhone is a portable telephone, internet browser, Global Positioning System (GPS), video/music player, and a 2MP camera - all of which are in one product that sits snugly in the palm of your hand. It even has Youtube and BBC iPlayer! But the thing that makes it so different is its scratchproof touch screen and crystal-clear image resolution. It holds days worth of music and video that can keep you entertained...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

Apple iPhone 3G is simply amazing

Advantages: Push email, iPod function, app store, wireless connectivity, free on O2 contract
Disadvantages: 2MP camera, not able to send MMS, battery life is not as good as it could be.

...means that my computer is almost redundant which I'm sure helps with my carbon footprint *3G browsing speeds are adequate for most simple web pages *I'm aware most phones do all this, but the apple iPhone just oozes style! *The price! Now that it is FREE on O2 24 month contract, it just sweetens the already sweet deal *The app store. What a wonderful and fantastic idea this is. I haven't paid for an app yet, just been downloading free ones but these are all fantastic so far. I've had games moving balls across a table, translator tools, Spanish lessons, film reviews, film listings at local cinemas, film times, eBooks, a facebook app (my most used!), cook books, a dinner spinner (a fantastic idea where you select the type of meal, food and preperation time and it gives you a list of recipes), a budget program which has helped me keep track...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G Review

Advantages: Lots of features, touch screen, good sound quality, durable.
Disadvantages: Poor battery when using features a lot, camera quality below average.

...Well, I've now had my iPhone 3G for 12 months and i'm still growing to love it more and more each day! The iPhone 3G isn't cheap, i got mine when it first came out on Pay As You Go and it cost me £500, so at this price you expect a high quality phone which is going to last a long time - and this is exactly what you get. I had never owned an iPhone before so i was quite excited to get mine. The iPhone 3G comes in black or white and you can choose the 8GB or the 16GB. I chose the black 16GB. It looks great and is really thin and it feels great to hold. I would reccomend that if you do buy this phone then get a screen protector so that if you accidently drop it, the screen won't chip. I have dropped mine a few times and it has a very thin chip in the screen, you can hardly see it and it hasn't affected how my phone works but it is best to...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G review.

Advantages: As stated.
Disadvantages: As stated.

...I had wanted one of these for quite a while before I eventually convinced my Dad to buy me one! Yes, it is a little pricey, but in my opinion, it is well worth it. It has it's flaws but compared to all of the phones I've ever owned, it really is outstanding. Starting with the good stuff :)... The Safari internet browser is excellent. You can view the pages just as you would on a computer - it is very easy to use & you can find an internet connection almost anywhere, although occasionally, when the signal is low, it cannot connect. If a Wifi is nearby, a box comes up asking whether you want to connect which I have found to be very helpful. The Youtube feature is really handy & I love the simpleness & format of it. I absolutely love the AppStore. There are so many free applications up for download. Lots of silly but...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

How do people live without the Apple iPhone 3g?

Advantages: App store, elligent touch screen, design helps it fit into your hand, browsing speeds
Disadvantages: Poor camera, no physical keyboard, battery is not great

...I bought the iPhone 3g about 6 months ago and have never looked back! Let me get through the minor negatives first. - poor camera the camera is 2mp which is not acceptable for a smart phone. Other brands have been rolling out 8mp which doesn't make the iPhone 3g a first choice for a photogropher, but for out and about snaps, it's acceptable. -no physical keyboard the lack of physical keyboard can make longer texts entries somewhat harder to manage with regular mistakes. On the bright side, the keyboard is pretty smart as it learns commenly words used and spell checks them. -battery life the battery live on the divice is bellow par. You can accept a considerable amount of drainage to the phone with high demanding apps on the phone, but even when cheking email it is hard to squeeze a day out of it. Putting these things to the side...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

Apple iPhone 3G: fabulous product let down by its battery.

Advantages: A one-stop shop of everything you need on the move: phone, diary, entertainment, music.
Disadvantages: Battery needs to be regularly charged.

...the messages in the style of an on-screen conversation so you can instantly flick back and see what you said to a particular person a few messages earlier alongside their responses. Let's not also forget that all of this comes with an ipod touch included in it - itunes is included on the phone as well as the usual ipod features. The 3G technology allows access to the internet when you are not near your own wifi connection in the home. This allows the fantastic map application to be used all over the country - it is almost a personal sat-nav system which can zoom into where you are at that particular moment and provide you detailed directions to your destination, either by foot, by public transport or by car. It really is indispensable! The only issue is the battery. Because of all the things that the iPhone does, the battery can run down...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

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...
