    Despite some important missing features, a slow data network and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated mobile phone and MP3 player. Read more

    The iPhone is far from perfect, but it offers tantalising glimpses of a truly blockbusting mobile device. Hopefully it will have reached its full potential by the time of its UK release. Read more

    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 iPhone has been three years in the making. Apple’s designers have been working on it for eons, and the web has been buzzing about Apple’s entry into the phone market for just as long – or maybe even longer. But now, six months of intense speculation has ended, and the iPhone is out (in the US at least). Since its introduction at Macworld Expo, we feel like we’ve talked about nothing else. So is it up to scratch? (No touchscreen-related pun intended). Well,... 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...

    You do amuse me CrusaderUK, you're so bitter! The iPhone is awesome, i've just bought one, its not even here yet....boiling over yet Crusader? I also bought the Sony UX 1XN the minute it launched for £2k and I didn't even flinch, when it dropped to £1k a few months later. You see Crusader, people with money aren't scared of risk, people without are. Saying the latest iPhone isn't hot, is like saying if you were offered a Ferrari or a Mini you'd choose the mini! My...
