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...

iPhone: Apple's debut into the the mobile world

Advantages: Sleek, Touch-pad, WiFi, EDGE, Email, Youtube, Safari, iPod
Disadvantages: Lacks practical features

...Apple makes an entry into the world of mobile phones with the release of the iPhone, a cutting-edge piece of technology aimed at revolutionising the cellphone industry. I recently bagged an iPhone and a fair share of delights and disappointments along with it. The Good: -Amazing, state-of-the-art touch pad system that facilitates much accuracy, innovative commands (eg, zoom by pinching and stretching) and multi-touch recognition by simply using one's fingers -2MP Camera: although only 2megapixels, the camera is of very high quality -WiFi, Edge, Bluetooth, SSH support -Built-in, high quality Internet Browser (Safari), Youtube Application and Email Application -Google Map Application, capable of "emulating" a GPS-like system -iPOD integrated into phone, iTunes support, Standard Audio Format support -POTENTIAL: The integrated OS...

  T erffic Mobile

Advantages: Good Coverage, Excllent Customer Services, Excellent Price Plans
Disadvantages: none

..., taking photo?s, picture messaging and all manner of things. In order to take full advantage of your mobile phones capabilities you need a network provider that can pull it off. It would be like having a top of the range DVD player but having no television player to watch it on. A mobile phone is no use without a network provider offering you the service you need to meet all your requirements, T-Mobile is one of the worlds leading mobile communication companies and they can provide a service that is second to none and suitable for everyone. A good network/service provider should have something for everyone. The main contenders are, Orange, O2 (previously Cellnet) Vodaphone, Virgin and T-Mobile (previously one2one) they all have different tariffs, price plans and special offers to entice its customers. The question is, can they deliver...

T-Mobile G1 - Balanced Review

Advantages: Youtube, 3G, fast, small, brilliant
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Weight

...The T-Mobile G1 is an exceptional device which allows you to do everything that you need when you need to do it. In the UK, the device comes with Unlimited Internet Usage, 'Unlimited' Meaning 1GB a Month of Bandwith, and the ability to access all of the applications avaliable on the Application Market. The Application Market is an online section, accessable via the mobile phone, to download various tools, games and various other types of apps, that can be executed on the mobile. Most of the applications are free, however; there are some that charge a small one-time fee, usually less than £1.50 (US $1.99). In my honest opinion the ability to add things, mostly for free, onto your mobile is a major bonus. The phone also ships with a Youtube application, and using the 3G Internet connection that the phone is compatable with, streams High...

Review of T-Mobile G1

T-mobile is clearly no longer just for hoopers

Advantages: Good coverage, excellent UK customer service (from Wales!), great value Flex-T plans
Disadvantages: Unused credit doesn't roll over.

...paid extra to be part of 'Orange premier'. It wasn't long before they lumped me in the rest of their customers and had me hanging on the phone for hours like everyone else! Anyway, back to T-Mobile. I was initially attracted by the Web'N'Walk option which allows unlimited browsing for £7.50 a month. The only restriction is that MSN is blocked - you have to pay £15 for this version (the £15 version is also faster) but compared to paying £1/MB on other networks, I found this to be a bargain. I use my mobile extensively with my laptop when I'm out on the road, and probably pull 500MB-1GB across a month - which could have cost me £1,000 on Orange - it costs £7.50fixed on T. I'm used to my home comforts of fast broadband, however I do find the T-Mobile internet service to be perfectly usable, especially for email, and it is so useful...

The T-Mobile G1 - A formidable opponent to the iphone

Advantages: Built-in compass sensitive Google Street View
Disadvantages: Slightly conservative look

...Although outwardly not as aesthetically pleasing as the iphone, the T-Mobile G1 is definitely a force to be reckoned with. It's body may be a little more "corporate" looking than that of it's ultra stylish competitor, but the G1's slightly smaller size and shape actually give it a more pleasant feel in the hand and pocket. Unlike the iphone it also has a sleek, slide out , backlit qwerty keyboard for those who find this type of text entry quicker and more comfortable. The newly developed Android operating system is visually and operationally fantastic and in many ways feels similar to that of Apple's Mac OS. Operationally the G1 allows the user to customize their desktop in the same way as the iphone, with one-tap icon navigation to all of the users chosen applications. These great applications are instantly downloadable from...

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM MOBILE PHONES DIRECT

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Dodgy dealer

...This is a warning message from a buyer who bought his phone from this didgy website - mobilephonesdirect.com. I bought a N97 brand new phone with T mobile contract. I was very happy for about a week, then on the second week the phone started to behave odd. It deleted all my files and was coming up with message saying 'memory is in use'. I called up mobile phones direct but the person was quite rude the way he handled the call and told me to write email to their webshop and also said there is no live customer service support. The email service would take 5 days to send a reply back. (quote from their website - "Here at Mobile Phones Direct, we're committed to providing you with the best customer service in the mobile phone industry" [http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/customerServices/index.aspx]) So I did email their web shop...

T-mobile - the monkey service

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Disgraceful customer service

...I purchased a LG mobile phone from the T-Mobile store in Norwich in November 2004. Things were going very smoothly with regards to the service I was being provided with until June/July 2005. The phone stopped working sometime during June 2005 and I took the phone back to the zoo...sorry, store I purchased it from and asked them if they would like a banana...well... I may as well have done...what I actually said was "i wonder if you could help me my phone has stopped working". They said they would have to send the phone back to the manufacturer to ask them to have a look at it. This they duly did. After some monkey business...sorry, negotiation, they finally offered to lend me a "loan" phone for a deposit sum of 50 bananas...oops sorry fifty pounds. I took them up on the offer and went away with a loan phone. They duly telephoned...

T-Mobile G1 - A Landmark Product

Advantages: Andriod OS, 3.2" screen, qwerty keyboard.
Disadvantages: Slightly old fasioned styling, build quality could be better

...T-Mobile G1. The Hardware: My initial impression of the G1 was mixed. It looks pretty business-like with the large touchscreen and rounded corners, but in both look and feel it has an air of Russian build quality about it. A far cry from the ultra sleek finish you get with the latest phones from Apple and Sumsung. The sliding screen does not have a positive location and tends to move slightly in the hand, not a reassuring feeling. The single USB/Headphone/Charging port is hidden under a flimsy push fit cover. The battery cover is prised off in creaky manner and the secondary volume and camera shutter buttons are fiddly to operate. The five main control buttons are well placed, operate with a satisfactory click and are back lit. There are the normal start and end call buttons, a back button, a home button (that displays...
