Apple iPhone review: Apple iPhone
Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player. Editors' note, July 11, 2008: This is the review of the original first-generation iPhone model, released June 2007. Coverage of the 3G iPhone model released July 11, 2008 is available here. Editors' note, July 16, 2009: We have lowered the rating of this product from 8.0 to 7.6 in the wake of the release of the iPhone 3G S. For a full analysis of the iPhone OS 3.0 software update, please see our iPhone 3G S review. For ongoing coverage, please see our full coverage of the Apple iPhone.
Pros:
- The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface
- Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps
- As an iPod, it shines.
Cons:
- The Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility
- Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content.

iPhone 3G review
It's the second coming of the iPhone, and this time it's 3G. Some say it's the ultimate phone, but is it truly fit for business?

Apple iPhone 3G
The first thing that will strike you with the iPhone 3G is that it is looks very similar to the original. It comes in the same 8GB and 16GB configurations as the previous 2G model and has the same two megapixel camera.

Video Review The iPhone 3G went on sale this morning, and we were down at our local O2 store before opening this morning to pick up ours, thanks to the nice chaps at O2 - the UK's exclusive iPhone carrier.

- 3G
- GPS inclusion
- App Store
- interface
Cons:
- No improvement on the camera
- O2's 3G coverage not great
- no search in email
- no "read all"
- no cut and paste
- GPS fiddly to use
