Apple iPhone: The Future of mobile phones?

Advantages: great look, easy to use interface, many useful aplications... and so much more
Disadvantages: Bluetooth technology is limited, internet access is slow

...way to access the internet. However, the phone which is currnetly only on O2 at the moment shows that apple really have what it takes to dominate the mobile phone market. I urge you all to gt an iphone, they are so easy to use, they look great, and a team of well educated staff are always there in apple shops to help you if you have any problems. another minor detail about this phone which puts me off, is that you cannot transfer data between phones via bluetooth, obviously this is to prevent pirate songs being sent across apples interface, but it would be nice to be able to send photos to a friend via bluetooth instead of using the internet. the camera is two mgapixel which is fine for a phone and can comfortably take good quality photos with it. Also, the voicemail function is a brilliant idea that apple have enhanced their moble...

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...

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

...common that Apple were to launch a phone of some description, and these rumours were put to bed on the 29th June 2007 when Apple announced the iPhone. It was initially launched with a 4GB and 8GB memory, but was also launched into some confusion. The trademark iPhone actually belonged to Cisco. Whilst the details of the settlement were never announced, Cisco allowed Apple to use the term iPhone, which in these days of litagation, could have spelt trouble for the iPhone's launch. It was in London of September 2007 that Apple announced that the iPhone was to be launched in the UK on the 9th of November 2007, along with Germany and France. It would be launched in the UK with O2, Germany with T-Mobile and France with Orange. Various commentators have speculated that O2 could be giving 40% of their revenue from each iPhone customer to Apple, which...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone I like

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

...on itunes or at an internet café if you do not have your own itunes account. The phone must be registered within 30 days of opening the account. It does not come with a case, I bought a leather one for £20.00. Charging is easy and the fingertip instructions are easy to follow to start you off. I think it is good value for money considering the innovative technology and all of the features you get with it. It is neither a mini laptop or a PDA but definitely a good combination of useful organisational and communication tools. I definitely recommend it. Is it value for money? Well you get a mobile phone, camera, ipod, surf engine, and all the other stuff I mentioned above so I will say yes. It also looks stylish in silver and black and the sound quality is good, it comes with earphones also....

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

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

Aye it's an iPhone

Advantages: Great gadget
Disadvantages: A bit bulky

...As usual I'm miles behind everyone else when it comes to technology and I've only just entered the world of mobile browsing by buying myself an iPhone. Here are several versions of the phone some with more memory than others but I plumped for the 8 gig version because that's more memory than I need The iPhone is quite amazing, what differentiates it from other phones are the applications, the sheer amount of applications is phenomenal, you can get an app for just about everything whether it's something as simple as accessing Facebook or googling, to apps for purchasing from Ebay or Amazon. There are also plenty of applications for games and music, or word processors and spreadsheet applications. Lots of the apps need to be paid for, ranging in price from approx 49p to over £5. But many apps are free, in fact this review is being...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

The iPhone 3GS is a rare thing; a product that beats the hype!

Advantages: Incredibly easy to use with huge selection of quality dowloadable apps. Almost perfect...
Disadvantages: Battery life it at best acceptable

...button for a few seconds the say "call John". If John has more then one number, a voice asks which of them you want to call, to which you can then say "mobile", for example. Voice controls can also control music, so saying "play U2" starts playing tracks by U2. Accuracy is good, though not flawless. Voice control with a Bluetooth headset, missing in the iPhone 3.0 software that shipped with the device, has thankfully just been added with the newly available and free iPhone 3.1 software. The iPhone 3GS comes with the iPhone 3.0 OS preinstalled. This adds numerous features (including cut and paste, MMS, system wide search, and voice memos) to the old iPhone 2.0 OS. What's particularly impressive is that this new software is available free for ALL iPhones (including the 2 year old original), not just the 3GS. This means that the iPhone...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G S (3GS)

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...

  iLove My iPhone!

Advantages: Ease of use, style, fantastic applications, camera, text format, all of it!
Disadvantages: Can't send photo messages and have to pay for extra ringtones

...of the phone which means that the back doesn't come off - so it's really sturdy - no chance of dropping it and the back flying across the room! To insert the sim card you will need to get something really thin (maybe Apple provided something but I didn't find it?), I used a screw tip, and pull out a little tray. You place the sim on it and push it back in. So it's not going anywhere. The design is neat and tidy so you won't really notice any of the external features until you need to use them. The screen is really large which is fantastic for photos and videos, which I'll come to later. Operating on the screen alone improves using a mobile tenfold in my opinion, once you're used to it - which I will also get to later on in this review. It makes using it much more fun because you're not just pressing buttons and seeing the effect - you're touching...
