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...

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

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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...
