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...

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...

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

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...

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...

Review of Apple iPhone

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...

Review of Apple iPhone

The Apple iPhone is amazing

Advantages: Brilliant touch screen function
Disadvantages: Rather poor quality camera

...I have just got my first Apple iPhone on contract and i can say that in my opinion it is amazing. Firstly the touch screen is so fun, you can move your fingers up and down, left and right to move the icons on the scren. You can tilt the phone to rotate cons on the screen. You can browse the internet which is extremely fun due to the touch screen. You can type letters from the touch screen keyboard. And of course the music! This is an mp3 and an mp4 player, you can download music and play it, the iPhone can store alot of tracks due to large memory, (mine is 8gb), you can store loads of songs and music videos and you can change each song by simply pushing the scren with your finger. It is definately a fantastic gadget perfect for anyone who loves technology....

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...
