iPhone 3G. What a phone!!!!!!

Advantages: Stylish, fast, too many applications and uses to name!!
Disadvantages: poor battery life on some applications, camera isnt great, no video.

...the camera isnt as good as most phones these days, and literally at the touch of the screen I can go to iTunes, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, eBay, Facebook or any of hundreds of other sites. I have apps giving me all the daily news I need, financial apps telling me whats happening in the stockmarket, a google mobile app with voice recognition etc etc. I can even programme by Sky TV when I'm not at home. I really cannot recommend this phone highly enough. All the major problems that initially pushed some people towards a Blackberry have now been sorted and I cant wait now to get my upgrade to the new 3Gs!!...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone

Advantages: Touchscreen, easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly confusing menus

...Previously had a Samsung, loved it's simplicity and the fact it was flawless. Everything worked, easy to use yet still up to date with technology However, I recently lost the it and was given an iPhone, this phone is way 'cooler' than any phone I have ever had. Apple are taking technology in mobile phones way further than other brands I feel, ok there are flaws but where there are flaws there are exceptions with other cool gadgets that have made me completely forget about comparing it to my previous mobiles. For example, Google Maps, easy to use and very sufficient Internet use, amazing screen quality with touch screen buttons that actually work... really well too! In fact the touch screen buttons is one of the main reasons I recommend this phone, although Sony Erricson and other brands have reached into touchscreen I don't feel any...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone

Advantages: Great interface. Excellent Music Clarity.
Disadvantages: Limited Official Apps

...iPhone. The greatest device since GSM was first created? Yes and No. I've had the iPhone for just over 4 months and I have mixed feelings over the device. I used ZiPhone to unlock mine from AT&T in the US for use in Ireland. Out of the box the iPhone is intruative (It has to be as a Manual is not included in the box). The box included a small quick start guide, a headset and the various connectors. Set up with iTune is a breeze even for a newbie. The Home Screen on the iPhone differs from most WIndows based Smart devices as a simple press closes the running program down. I own a HTC Touch aswell and found it much easier to upgrade and customise than the iPhone. While the iPhone has a huge and diverse 3rd party App community you may have to wait a long time until an App you need comes about. However, once they are released you can...

Review of Apple iPhone

The best iPod / Phone!

Advantages: unbelivably sexy and beautiful, wonderful internet and video / music
Disadvantages: needs a couple of firmware updates to become the perfect phone

...Given the rather briefness of the other iPhone reviews on Ciao, and given I've actually GOT one, I thought I'd do a proper review prior to the iPhone being launched in the UK. 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 with screen, but with funky colours and all in one design) and the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history! iPhone history: During late 2006, rumours were...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone I like

Advantages: Modern technology, amount of software and number of devices.
Disadvantages: No protective case.

...for contacts, hold, keypad and add call. The last allows the facility of "conference calling". For e-mail you require wi-fi connection but I have not yet tried this out. A range of networks is listed ,google,AOL,Y!Mail and mac Next is safari the internet browser. I have used this to browse wikipedia,BBC and our own CIAO. It is slow at first but quite well organised once you get the hang of it. For more advanced browsing such as videos and media stuff you will need wi-fi. Last is the Ipod. This shows the songs you have downloaded in different forms, by playlist,artist,album or all by song. You can thumb through the albums, Press an icon to get the album or song and then press again to play the song. Also you can pause the play button if needed. When you buy the phone first check that you have a friend who can register it for you...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone; Modern day Beauty and the Beast

Advantages: Touch screen, games, web browser, utilites, music, pictures
Disadvantages: Price, can not copy and paste, battery life, camera

...the camera is more five years out of date than ?five years ahead of the competition?. The camera is just 2 megapixels, it lacks autofocus and has no flash. It?s a toy camera compared to the competiton. The top five phones on the market all have 5 megapixels. Whats even better than music on the go, is the internet on the go. The iPhone includes the Safari web browser, which is the best mobile we I have ever come across. Its great as if you get lost walking around town, the iPhone with the help of google maps will help you get to where you want to be. Unfortunately we come to the bad news. First the iPhone is not cheap. Its only exclusive to the O2 store. You can purchase iPhone which are unlocked however this voids the warranty, and I don?t recommend you take that root. So back to 02. With 02 you must first purchase the phone and then be on an 18...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone: Apple's debut into the the mobile world

Advantages: Sleek, Touch-pad, WiFi, EDGE, Email, Youtube, Safari, iPod
Disadvantages: Lacks practical features

...Apple makes an entry into the world of mobile phones with the release of the iPhone, a cutting-edge piece of technology aimed at revolutionising the cellphone industry. I recently bagged an iPhone and a fair share of delights and disappointments along with it. The Good: -Amazing, state-of-the-art touch pad system that facilitates much accuracy, innovative commands (eg, zoom by pinching and stretching) and multi-touch recognition by simply using one's fingers -2MP Camera: although only 2megapixels, the camera is of very high quality -WiFi, Edge, Bluetooth, SSH support -Built-in, high quality Internet Browser (Safari), Youtube Application and Email Application -Google Map Application, capable of "emulating" a GPS-like system -iPOD integrated into phone, iTunes support, Standard Audio Format support -POTENTIAL: The integrated OS...

Apple iPhone

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...As everyone know, iPhone became really famous after this product got in the store. In a sense, It's a copy of iPod touch, at least, because of the outlook and of course, because of music player. Here is my review about iPhone. Why iPhone is good? Of course iPhone is very famous, because of It's outlook. Of course outlook is great, there is a one big touch sensitive screen and one button, what has only one function - bring you back to "home". You don't need some stick to move menus, It's really easy to surf in menu with your finger. All things functions so coherently, and It's really unfamiliar, example, to use WiFi, you don't have to change any options or retool profiles and you don't have to worry. All things what you haven't done, and you want do continue it later, it always opens from same place and everything is auto...

Review of Apple iPhone

The iPhone Masterpiece

Advantages: Visual beauty, ipod perfection, photo demon, movies screen, internet anywhere! PERFECT!
Disadvantages: cost and network locking (easily overcome) and ringtones (overcome aswell)

...This is the pinacle of phone, music player, video player technology. I can not believe how much stuff is wrapped into this beautiful device. okay first, there is the look. Now i doubt you will be able to find anyone who doesnt think this phone is gorgeous. It has an overall of 4 buttons and a switch. 1 for the home screen, 2 for sound, 1 for on and off and the switch to mute sound. The rest is controlled by your fingers on the 3.5" touch screen. It is beautiful peice of engineering technology. The touch screen is "clever" it know when you touch once, it knows when you pulling across the screen, it knows when your pinching. This is due to a sensitive electrical sheet underneath the glass, yes glass, that is connected to the apple mac os x system. It is stunning. The visual detail is nothing you would ever expect from a3.5" screen. You...
