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

This bullion beauty is the most decadent iPhone add-on since the $1,000 I Am Rich app. For two Gs, you can dress your 3G in a deliciously crass case that packs more karats than Bugs Bunny's lunch box (24 to be exact).

This phone is really over hyped, went into O2 store to get it & realised how many features it is missing. The size of the handset is way too big in my opinion not pocket friendly. The big no no for me was the fact that even though I was willing to put up with missing features that phones from 10...

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.
