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

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

...Given the rather briefness of the other iPhone reviews on Ciao, and given I've actually GOT one, I thought I'd do a proper review prior to the iPhone being launched in the UK. Some history: Apple have been making computers since the 1970's and were the first people to launch what we now call a home computer with the Apple II microcomputer in 1977. Since then, they have been at the front of design and innovation, despite having a few failures along the way, such as the Apple Newton in the 1990's. Apple have recently had two turnarounds, the first being the launch of the iMac in 1998 (basically a portable TV size computer with screen, but with funky colours and all in one design) and the other in 2001 when Apple launched the iPod... The rest, as they say, is history! iPhone history: During late 2006, rumours were...

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

...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...

Apple iPhone

Advantages: read review
Disadvantages: read review

...-saved, so you don't have to worry. Nevertheless little screen (of course It's huge for mobile phone), It's really easy and comfortable to use Safari. iPhone be good for watch things from internet, because you see the website all over the screen. As I said, in the iPhone, there is also iPod Touch, and of course, It's best mp3 player to get right now. You can change your songs with your finger, just move your finger along the screen. Of course sound quality is really good, not like some other phones, what sound quality is really poor. It's real pleasure to listen good music, with good sound quality. Nevertheless camera size, as you know It's really small, but picture quality is amazing for that size camera, and It really impressed me. In addition, there are also application shop named App Store, there are thousands of "App'e". Also there are...

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

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.

...a joy for watching your favourite shows or movies or if you simply want to swipe across a holiday album. It's firm, nice to hold and a product that makes you want to use it all the time. The iPhone will never sit in your pocket for too long. Wi-Fi works seamlessly with your regular networks, so your social networking application will get used to be tapped on throughout the day! What's best about this phone is the durability. Apple's standard 1-year guarentee comes in aid if you happen to run into any hardware issues, but the real help is from the masses of cases and accessories that manufacturers have produced. They are everywhere, not just on Apple's Online Store - but even your local gadgets shop. The iPhone is a gorgeous device that lets you connect with the people you know and love, as well as enjoy your regular hobbies with thousands...

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

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...
