    So, whats the conclusion for the iPhone? If you have deep pockets and love your fashion then maybe you should get yourself an iPhone . For everyone else, we should really compare it with the competition. What does the iPhone have over the likes of the Nokia N95, LG KU990 Viewty, Sony Ericsson W960i or the Nokia N81? Well, it has to be the huge touchscreen user interface that is truly a dream to use. The media player, as you would expect from apple really is top class,... Read more

    The Apple iPhone has been a major success for Apple and I think it’ll continue to sell well in the UK and everywhere else in the world. However, one downside that I see with the iPhone is that it is only available on O2 in the UK which limits users quite a bit. Having said that, O2 is a good provider and it doesn’t appear to have affected the sales of this phone. All in all, it has a great set of high quality features and even though it was released in June 2007, it... Read more

    Verdict OK, so it's got its cons. However, none of these stop the iPhone from being the single most desirable gadget on the planet. You can wait for Apple's rivals to catch up if you want to, but you could be waiting some time: this device is an undoubted revolution. No self-respecting gadget fiend will forgive himself for not ignoring the niggles and embracing the iPhone for what it is: a beautiful product with amazing ease of use. Read more

    i got this phone when it was first released, and it was great - but not perfect. sure, it's an iphone. and with that comes the knowledge that you have the most advanced bit of kit on the market. the screen is vast glossy and responsive. colours look rich, and details look sharp. plus, you have an ipod built right in! but this is where the 8gb model suffers. if you actually want to take advantage of the great media playing abilities of the iphone i believe you need more...

    The iphone 3G is simply the best phone out there. Yes I love all things apple so am probably a little biased, bu the touch screen is miles ahead of anything else out there. The addition of apple apps mean that you can customise your iphone with many different creations from other iphone lovers. The battery life is also pretty good as well! However I would suggest that you don't get the 2G version as its web browsing capabilities are seriously hindered! Wouldn't change... Read more

    I recently purchased the new 3G for my whole family. It took a lot of convincing especially for my dad, who thinks MAC is pure evil, but he loves his new phone. I think the features are great I use the maps all the time, as well as the internet, and I can finally text with ease. How can you write a long winded column like the one above simply based on the fact that you want an equalizer in your iPod not even iPhone. If you want one that bad, I'm sure you can download one...
