Apple iPhone 3G: fabulous product let down by its battery.

Advantages: A one-stop shop of everything you need on the move: phone, diary, entertainment, music.
Disadvantages: Battery needs to be regularly charged.

...the messages in the style of an on-screen conversation so you can instantly flick back and see what you said to a particular person a few messages earlier alongside their responses. Let's not also forget that all of this comes with an ipod touch included in it - itunes is included on the phone as well as the usual ipod features. The 3G technology allows access to the internet when you are not near your own wifi connection in the home. This allows the fantastic map application to be used all over the country - it is almost a personal sat-nav system which can zoom into where you are at that particular moment and provide you detailed directions to your destination, either by foot, by public transport or by car. It really is indispensable! The only issue is the battery. Because of all the things that the iPhone does, the battery can run down...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone

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

...that did not download correctly or would take an inconvenient time to load. The iPhone needs a case. Don't be fooled by the iPhones Advertisements. If you drop this device it will break. It doesn't have the feel of durabilty that some Smart devices do. Battery life on medium usage is in the region of 6 days. In closing the iPhone is a fantastic device. I believe it to be worthy of the price tag it carries. However, you must be willing to void your warranty and Jailbreak the device to unleash its full potential. If you are looking for just a music player however, I would recommend the iTouch instead....

Apple iPhone

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...or something like this. iPhone internet browser don't have Flash player, It means, you don't see some websites with cool design and also you can't see videos, what recourse on Flash. With iPhone, you can't send MMS, It means you can't send your pictures to your friends so easy. Nevertheless iPhone's big capacity, you can't use it as memory stick, but older iPods you can use as memory stick. Opening some folders takes a lot of time, example, opening folder "Settings", It takes about 2 seconds before It opens, and sometimes It's gonna be really annoying. Earphone sound is a little bit low, but you could accustom with it. Battery durability is not very good, battery empty about in 3 days, especially if you use it really often. Also you can't change inner- battery, also It's not possible with iPods, I don't believe, that Apple make changes about...

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)

..., internet, and camera are all beautiful things, just like the touch screen. If you like technology, buy this phone! You wont be disappointed. " Sorry if my rating is a bit harsh but you barely touched on the phones aspect of this gadget, which to me is the most important part. Things such as ease of use when using as a phone, battery life, does the screen get scratched easily are just a few things out of many I felt that you really needed to add to make this review more helpful. christianfilmcritic 19.10.2007 08:46" After his comment, i will tell you more, well its easy to use, you touch the screen and drag to move, pinch out to zoom in, pinch in to zoom out, and if you ever need to go back to home instantly you just click home. The phone turns its screen off by using Infrared when you on a phone call to save battery and stop you...

Apple iPhone negatives

Advantages: MacBook or Desktop in your pocket
Disadvantages: Less of a phone more of a PSP

...If you need a pocket sized version of your Mac then this is for you. Its secondary use is a phone. . small things like not being able to send MMS and even forward any text messages you have received are simple things Apple could have put into the iPhone. Also the iPhone has NO video camera function???? It does crash sometimes which is very annoying especially when on a phonecall. Also have you ever written a text only to press the send button and realise your sending it to the wrong person. . most phones have a cancel option. . but NOT the iPhone!!! The battery lasts the most I found 24 hours thats with normal usage ie iPod for around 2hours a day and maybe an hours talktime. I think more attention has been paid to the applications and the design of the phone rather that the basic phone features. If I had know all...

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

...your phone, sound, brightness,wifi,ipd,photos and safari. It will take experience of using the phone to decide what is right for you. There is a good choice of graphic screensavers. Battery usage is shown, mine reads standby time 1day 12hours and usage 2 hours 41 minutes. Memory used is also shown. Last of the 13 is the itunes section. You can use this for browsing the itunes store and loading music on to the ipod. The last 4 icons on the bottom row are for the phone , email, safari and ipod. The phone is very easy to use. It has 5 controls. Favourites, Recents, Contacts, keypad and voicemail. All functions are self explanatory, very easy to use from the beginning. When you use the phone another screen comes up with voice/speaker options. The phone lights up with a green "call" icon or red "end call". There is also an icon...

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

...several mail accounts on the device at once. Navigating through the mail is easy, and it's relatively easy to set up. It also has full support for imap folders, the first portable device I've used to do so. Safari: This isn't a small, naff web browser on a device. It's a fully featured web browser which presents the pages perfectly. You can double tap to zoom in and out and pinch the screen to zoom in and out also. Locking the device: There is a screen lock that automativally turns the screen off quickly preserving battery life. You can also press the sleep button which does the same. To unlock the device, press the button, then slide your finger across the screen. Easy, huh? Phone: Clicking on the phone icon gives you Faves, recents, Contacts, keypad and voicemail. I was unable to test the voicemail due to not...

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

...month contract the cheapest of which being £35. The battery life of the iPhone is also terrible. The big LCD screen eats up the power and with all the extra gadgets to play with the battery is used up rather quickly. In conclusion the iPhone is still a fantastic phone, but its not for everyone. Its very expensive, but aren?t all things of beauty? The user-interface is what wins this phone its good graces. The phone is also a great media player, and no other phone on the market can come compete with that. If you have the money and you love the minimilistic look, the iPhone is the phone for you. If you are on a budget then forget the charms of the iPhone and buy a cheaper alternative with has a lot more functions. ? OS X Operating System ? 2 megapixel camera ? Touchscreen 3.5 inch 480 x 320 pixels ? Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Wi...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone, a technological step backwards.

Advantages: Nice graphical user interface, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Poor camera, no MMS, difficult to replace battery, no 3G, and many more.

...slim fingers! And a lot of the time, at least until you get used to holding the phone, you really are constrained to typing with one finger at first - well, you certainly don't want to take any chances dropping something you will have paid a large amount of money for. Another flaw regarding calls - no 3G. This really is such a very basic thing these days, and I have had a 3G handset for years now, and come to take it for granted. But when you pay this much for a handset, you really expect to have a 3rd generation handset. Whilst looking around at the general look of the phone, I was stumped that I couldn't locate the battery cover....only to discover there isn't one! According to Apple, had I actually owned an iPhone, and my battery died, I would have to send my phone away to Apple to get it replaced! I then noticed that there...

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...
