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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

KJC Cover Up

Advantages: A few such as nice women and fair deals
Disadvantages: Quality

...It was a usual Friday morning where my bank had just been topped off with a whole load more money, my ‘Payday’. As we all do, I went down town to empty the bank and to fill my wallet ready for a huge ‘Town Shopping Spree’ amongst the many shops I went to, KJC Mobiles caught my eyes. I looked at my phone, looked at KJC and thought that maybe a phone upgrade might be a good idea! So in I go, the first things that covers my eyes are the figure of a very pretty lady at the counter and a massive wall covered with mobile phone covers. I looked at the other side of the shop and saw the small variety of phones in store. Thinking about my trusty Nokia 3330, I decided that just a little attitude will be good enough for my phone, so I went back to the covers. As I walked over to the covers a man approached me...

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

...The APPLE IPHONE ... just the name sounds remarkable... and i have to tell you; it IS !!! even when you pick up the phone. there are sensors that will dim the backlight of the screen when u put the phone to your ear!!!! It really is a gift from god, becuase the interface is so sound, providing easy accesssibilty to all your files and contacts. the easy to use interface is quick and easy, and anyone can work out how to do something on it, becuase the phone simply tells you what you need to do to get somehwere. as well as just a phone, it is also an ipod playing music video and podcasts. but not only that either, it has maps, wifi, and edge technology. the only downside to this phone, is that the internet connection is not too great. I feel that apple should bring out a new iphone with three technology to provide users with a faster...

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

...In a nutshell: IT?S A TOUCH SCREEN. No other phone have I ever come across since I laid my hands on has so much capabilities as this beautiful beast. It?s a phone, it?s a music player, it?s a camera, it?s a web browser, it?s everything all mashed together into one beautiful device. However its not cheap and it has many limitations so unfortunately its like my last girlfriend; a imperfect beauty. When it comes to the iPhone, I never can make the decision over whether I hate it or love it. It?s a beautiful little device with operates on Apple?s OS X operating system. Its all touchscreen so instead of using buttons the phone has icons that appear on the very touch-sensitive screen, and this screen is big, actually its bigger than big its HUGE. Apple claimed that the iPhone was five years ahead of the competition and when you have a play...

Review of Apple iPhone

The phone that changed all phones - iPhone

Advantages: Incredibly accurate touchscreen, simply design, VERY cheap now, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Lacks some common-day phone features.

...The first iPhone achieved a humongous reception by mobile phone users. It is the phone that has revolutionised the features of a standard mobile phone forever. The intuitive touch-screen was the only feature that seemed to stand out upon it's release. But July 2008 arrived, and the App Store was unleashed, leading with it an army of developers anxious to get their applications published for money or free. This continues to be the iPhone's biggest success, with over 65,000 apps at your finger tips (as of July 2009) amongst every category you could possibly want. iPhone is a beautiful product. It's larger than your standard phone, yes - but for a reason. The buttons you normally rely on for daily functions (texting, calling, surfing the net) are all integrated into the touch-screen keyboard. The gorgeous 480x320 pixel display gives you...
