iPhone 3G

The iPhone 3G improves on its predecessor, refining its strengths and eliminating some of its flaws. On the way, however, it picked up a few more flaws. Exchange and MobileMe support are appealing, but poor battery life and substandard GPS implementation will deter some people. After selling more than 6 million units in other countries, the iPhone is finally here (officially). Australians can now get their hands on the iPhone 3G, Apple's second-generation mobile.
Pros:
  • Multi-touch navigation, HSDPA bandwidth, Exchange and MobileMe support
Cons:
  • Poor GPS implementation, no physical keyboard, poor battery life

Apple iPhone 3G

The first iPhone was still hot off the press when rumors of a 3G model began to circulate. Fueled by the prevalence of 3G networks outside the United States-and the comparative pokiness of AT&T's EDGE network-the speculation has finally come to an end.

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.
