the iPhone the phone that ticks all the boxes

Advantages: applications for everything, really intelligent and attractive phone
Disadvantages: the really good applications can be quite expensive, battery needs charged more often

...Having purchased an iPhone in the last few months I have to say that it has to be the best mobile phone that I have owned. At first it takes some time playing about with it and admittedly a couple of phone calls to Apple support to discover exactly how to get the most out of the phone and to get my head around using it but actually when you do get over the initial newness it is one of the easiest phones to use. The iPhone has all the typical basic functions of any standard mobile phone but it then goes beyond that as i have been able to download loads of applications, there is a range of apps many are free and others have a charge for downloading them. Some of the applications i have downloaded are sky news, euro sports, games, facebook, and i am even learning Italian on my phone. The style of the phone and the way you can store your...

Boxed In iPhone Game

Advantages: A free iPhone game that lasts ages!
Disadvantages: Complicated for many!

...So, here?s one final iPhone game application review from me ? far be it from be to by type-cast as an iPhone games writer?but here?s the free game Boxed In. The concept of the game is simple but at the same time can result in being devilishly hard. You have 50 levels to negotiate by pushing boxed around to make it to the exit. Sound easy? Well, not quite. The boxes have to be navigated around the maze into certain positions rather than just clearing a gap for the ?robot? to reach the exit. Boxes need to be placed over ?portals? to make certain routes clear, and you also need to collect all the ?cogs? which are dotted all other the place to pass through to the next level. Got it? Okay, good. Read on. Now, with there being 50 levels, the last thing you?d want is to get stuck on level 3 and not be able to see what the other ones are...

Review of Boxed In (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

...is horrendous! The price in the US is around $400 (or around £210) and the launch price in the UK will be £279 So, the iPhone..... The iPhones comes in what is quite a small black box, which in itself is beautifully designed. It slides open slowly, given the vacuum created and reveals the iPhone at the top of the box. To protect the iPhone, Apple have even lined the inside of parts of the box with felt! Taking the iPhone out, you are then presented with a small plastic tray, a smaller box with a brief user guide, and then the very small charger, USB lead, Desktop stand and small headset. First impressions: Before you even turn it on, the iphone looks beautiful. It's sleek, black and cromed with only 4 buttons (sleep, home, volume and mute). It's surprisingly heavy, but in that well built type feel. The back is...

Fingerprinting phone shocker

Advantages: first class call reception and range, looks stylish, hard wearing, easy to use
Disadvantages: fingerprints seem to be attracted to the base unit

...When it comes to replacing anything within the house I have little input mainly due lack of general interest so it is left to my wife to co-ordinate the purchase of pretty much everything. Whilst I may seem a touch lazy I would add that she selects what she wants while I just work my butt off to pay for them. Not being one to settle for a plain replacement telephone that would cost around the £30 mark my wife decided she really loved the look of the MagicBox Touch cordless telephone costing £75 for just one handset. When told how much it had cost I went weak at the knees and expected a top of the range telephone. Thankfully and over time I have learnt to appreciate that the premium cost of the phone has ensured the purchase of a remarkable piece of equipment. The telephone sits within a heavy cradle unit made from polished plastic. My...

Review of Magic Box Touch 100 Triple

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

...with the little thing you start believing all their propaganda. Touch the little phone icon on the screen and the address book appears, tap the name and the iPhone makes a call, all very simple. Touch the picture icon and your pictures magically appear. The responsiveness of all the functions are extradorninary, my experience with user interface phone which have all these gizmos and effects results in lagging and crashing, but that wasn?t the case with the iPhone.The iPhone is a complete joy to play with and to use as a simple phone. Once you've owned an iPhone it's hard to imagine ever going back to a normal phone. The iPhone is an iPod too of course. The iPhone plays music and video, so you don?t need an iPod anymore. The typical iPhone has 8giga bytes of memory which can hold approx. 2000 songs. Can you current phone do that? Unfortunately...

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

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...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone I like

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

...iPhone finally arrived on the UK market on the 9th November although not with the same amount of media attention it received in the U.S. it was still popularly accepted by the UK market. I bought mine on the 19th November for £269. This seems expensive but you get a digital camera, ipod and phone all rolled in to one with iphone + internet browsing and e-mail capability, also included are elements of a personal organiser (diary and notepad). The main feature of the phone is the touch screen technology which operates everything. Without boring you with technical detail I will tell you what I got from iphone. There are 17 screens (buttons you can push on the face of the camera.) The 4 on the bottom horizontal strip are the phone, e-mail, internet browsing and i-pod. There 13 buttons on top from left to right in 3 rows of 4 +1 are...
