The new iPhone improves on its near-perfect predecessor, and at this price, Apple is on its way to taking over the world of mobile phones in the same way it did MP3 players Read more

Apple are back again, with the much improved, or is it, Apple iPhone 3G. This is a love or hate it device with users on both sides of the fence split on how good or bad the device really is. So what is it that Apple have added apart from the obvious 3G and black back cover. Read more

Reviewer: What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision18 March 2009
The second generation iPhone includes 3G technology for faster web browsing, and sports a thinner chassis and new plastic back panel (black on the 8GB version, black or white on the 16GB). And the recessed headphone jack has gone, so you can use your own ’phones. Somewhat disappointingly for a phone of this stature, you get only a 2MP camera (some of the other phones boast 5MP). Also, Apple hasn’t seen fit to include an MMS messaging function. The 3.5in screen is a... Read more

The iPhone 3G has now gone on sale on Pay As You Go (PAYG) in the UK on the O2 network, this is great news for those people who don’t like being tied to a long contract (18 months in the case of the iPhone 3G) and also for people like me who already have a contract, it opens up the market for more potential customers for the iPhone 3G and O2. When the original iPhone was released last year, I have to admit that I wasn’t overly impressed by it due to some of its... Read more

Great if you've got the cash!
Reviewer: Ciao2 days ago- Overall 9
I've had the iphone for a whole year now and I can easily say that it is one of the most useful peaces of technology I have ever invested in. Pros: Appearance: The iPhone, as with all other products from Apple just looolks good. The simple design with an awesome touchscreen absolutely changed everything in the smartphone industry. Today, it has almost become: "If you own an iphone, you're awesome" - or more or less. Internet: You absolutely need internet if you're... Read more

I was tentative about this phone at first because of it's shortcomings (ie; no MMS, only a 2MP camera etc) but I decided on this instead of Blackberry HD Touch and so far I'm not regretting choosing the iPhone. I seriously love the apps feature, the games keep the kids quiet on boring journeys. One thing I still don't like is the damn crappy headphones that come with this phone or the iPod Touch which I also have, I've since bought a mic headphone switcher and some Sony... Read more

Apple iPhone 3G review
Reviewer: Mark, Tracy and Matt's Blog15 January 2009In summary – I love this, like I loved the original. I’m a sucker for design, but I need usability as well – which is why (and I can hear the abuse already) – I don’t like mac’s. However the iPhone has both in buckets, and when my contract expires in a few months time I have a tricky decision – iPhone 3G or HD Touch. Read more
