iPhone 3G UK review

When the original iPhone arrived in November 2007, it was preceded by massive hype. But a lot of people in the UK who were interested held back. We'd like to think they were guided by a thoughtful and careful technological principle: "Never buy version 1.0".
Pros:
  • Bright
  • high-resolution screen
  • fast cellular network
  • built-in GPS
  • iPhone 2.0 software includes Exchange support and third-party apps
  • good audio quality
  • no recessed headphone jack
Cons:
  • Low-quality camera
  • no video-recording support
  • no built-in voice dialing
  • limited Bluetooth functionality
  • no support for text selection
  • cut
  • copy and paste

Apple iPhone 3G

The old iPhone is new again. Priced at an affordable $99 and updated with Apple's latest iPhone 3.0 software, the iPhone 3G makes a great entry level handheld computer. Of course, it's also a phone, but the 3G's voice capabilities are the least of what this platform (with its now-50,000 apps) can...
Pros:
  • 3G
  • True GPS
  • App Store adds hundreds of third-party programs
  • Voice quality is much improved from the original iPhone
  • No more recessed headphone jack.
Cons:
  • An unknown number of buggy units have been released
  • Still missing video recording, voice dialing, stereo Bluetooth support, picture messaging, and document editing.

Apple iPhone 3G Review

This is a phone that is far from perfect; For the record, there are many better phones out there which offer a lot more functionality. Where Apple scores is in adding a little human touch to their device.

  • Speed
  • Apps
  • Internet
  • Sound
  • General Multipurpose

  • Battery
  • General Irrelevance

Apple iPhone 3G Review

It's finally here, the first phone to beat the iPhone. Or is it? The iPhone 3G is out, with high-speed data and GPS and Exchange support and a whole slew of new features due to the new 2.0 software. It's been slightly redesigned, but remains 100% Apple.
Pros:
  • The design remains iconic
  • It's UI still sets the mobile standard
  • The multimedia capabilities can't be beat
Cons:
  • The new software can be buggy
  • and lacks the normal Apple refinement
  • There is a lack of wow this time around
  • Apple simply brought the features up to par with other offerings rather than giving the customer something completely new
