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...

TalkCover Mobile Phone Insurance

Advantages: Comprehensive cover, very low cost, good service
Disadvantages: None so far.

...Having quickly discounted the insurance offered by my network provider as over priced, I did what I do with all my insurance policies and looked online. There are many small websites offering mobile phone insurance, but lots look like you wouldn't trust them with anything, let alone insurance. Out of my final shortlist of Talkcover, CUSC (as they had been around for many years, but still have a poor website and the poor Ciao review put me off), and CPP PhoneSafe (as I have heard of them in the financial press, they are large and growing but expensive), Talkcover appeared to offer the best balance of complete cover (loss, theft, accidental damage, fraudulent calls, brand new replacement phones) with the best price by far. Talkcover gave me 12 months for the price of 9, and they insured all 3 phones (my mega expensive Nokia 8600...

Review of TalkCover Mobile Phone Insurance

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

...playing music, you have forward / back buttons, pause, a slider for volume, back one menu level and an option to toggle between album cover and track listing. Again, turning the iPhone on it's side presents you with cover flow, that allows you to flick through differnt albums. Very cool! The quality of the music through the supplied ear phones isn't bad. Videos: You are presented with a list of TV shows, movies and music videos. Watching one instantly turns into landscape mode. Whilst watching a movie, you can tap the screen to bring up various features, such as back / forward, pause, a slider bar for going to the right spot in the movie and a small zoom in /out feature. The quality is excellent, with very fluid motion between frames. The screen is bright enough for watching in most situations.... Mail: You can configure...

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...

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

All about the iPhone

Advantages: Applications, touch interface, storage, screen size, camera
Disadvantages: Speaker volume

...Not only is it a phone, but it is an iPod. The iPhone is a revolutionary cell phone that has many amazing features. One of the most well-known features is the touch screen. With a single tap of your finger, you can be reading the newspaper, checking your email, taking a picture and many more! I think the most useful applications are the iPod, the phone, and safari (Apple's internet browser). The iPhone's storage is 8gb. That can hold about 2000 songs! You can also watch videos, listen/watch podcasts, and use the amazing new cover-flow feature, which is used by simply rotating the iPhone! With the iPhone, you have a special feature called "Visual Voicemail". Instead of listening to every voicemail message you have, until you find the one you want, you can just tap it and you are listening to it! With visual voicemail...

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, 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 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...

Review of Apple iPhone

iPhone 3G. What a phone!!!!!!

Advantages: Stylish, fast, too many applications and uses to name!!
Disadvantages: poor battery life on some applications, camera isnt great, no video.

...I have had my iphone for almost a year now and it is easily the best overall mobile phone I have ever had. Don't get me wrong, it is not without its problems, but once you have one of these beauties for a while you will fall in love with it. Apart from the obvious sleek good looks, the iphone has changed the way I do a lot of things in my day to day life. This is helped by Apples brilliant "App store", where you can download a seemingly endless array of applications, some free, and others you have to pay for (although they normally cost less than £1). These range from games to social networking (Facebook etc) to sports to health & Fitness to news etc etc etc. The list seems to go on and on. I have found that since getting my iphone my home pc has barely been used at all. I can use the phone to take photos, although I have to admit...
