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...

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...

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...

iPhone 3G review.

Advantages: As stated.
Disadvantages: As stated.

..., is the perfect size. Volume is easily accessed & you can determine whether the sound is on or the phone is on silent/vibrate by simply flicking a switch on the side. The sleep/wake button is excellent for locking your phone quickly & easily before putting it in your pocket or bag. The SIM card tray is pulled out at the top of the phone, by using a small key which comes with the iPhone but if you don't have it on a hand, something like a paperclip or an earring will do. This way, there is no need to take the back of the phone, which is great & it keeps the SIM card securely in place. The headphone jack is the normal 3mm so will fit your own personal headphones if need be. The microphone is good quality & so is the speaker but it could be a lot louder; the volume does not go very high. The QWERTY keyboard that comes up everytime you need...

... 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!

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

I Can't Stop Playing With My Iphone 3G

Advantages: Internet use is a breeze, user friendly, great for music
Disadvantages: Low quality camera, stuck on one network, bluetooth very limited

...After looking through all the phones that are currently avaliable for a decent upgrade, I noticed that all of the networks are trying to bring out "the phone to beat the iphone", so I decided to go for...the iphone 3G:) Prior to the iphone, I always insisted on having nokias, but other the past few years, in my opinion, ive felt that nokias quality just isnt there anymore. Anyways, a week on from receiving my iphone, I have to say that I am impressed. The touch screen is brilliant, its so easy to scroll through and find what your looking for. With the phone being locked to O2 (some may see this as a disadvantage), when taking out a contract, you automatically get FREE unlimited internet included. This is a great bit of kit. If your in an area where there is wifi, the iphone will use that, if wifi cant be found, it will use 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...

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.

...When the first iPhone came out, I was not even aware of it until I saw the large queues outside of mobile phone stores. When I read about it I was completely underwhelmed and forgot about it. Then the iPhone 3G came out. This time I was aware of it but I was tied to another contract so I tried to avoid seeing it so as not to get it on impulse. Then a colleague got one... The iPhone 3G is simply fantastic: *I have my personal and work emails pushed to the phone. This saves me lots of time each day as now I check emails while walking home. *The touch screen is very clear and bright and feels good to the touch. As you'd expect it does get a bit grubby so either live with it or buy a protector shield. *The iPhone performs admirably as an iPod and on some days it is my sole providor of music *The ability to connect to a wireless network...

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...
