Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone destined to become the crown jewel of
O2's product range. But can it really be as good as people say? C an the
Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other
mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - why is it so good? On June 9th, a product was released that made lovers of
mobile phones and Apple lovers especially, go bonkers with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was unleashed, and now, the newest incarnation was announced. It's due to be unleashed on the world, on
O2, on July 11th. But how is this new
Apple iPhone 3G better than other
mobile phones? Well, first of all, it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, so that all the coolest features and powerful functions are there for you, quite literally, at your fingertips. And you'll be flicking through menus with glee, very quickly, as the
Apple iPhone 3G is only the second handset in the world of
mobile phones to be built around the amazingly intuitive Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone came before it, and that was the original iPhone.
As you may know, there was a certain amount of criticism levelled at the original iPhone. Other
mobile phones have more features, they said, other
mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, despite the beautiful interface, they were correct. Other
mobile phones COULD outperform the iPhone, although, that's going to be a lot more difficult to do with the
Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on
O2. The big thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more established
mobile phones beat it. That's not an issue now, however, as the
Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, is now one of the
mobile phones that DO have 3G. And crikey is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you get GPS, and we should all understand how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is it REALLY the future? After the all the hype, is the
Apple iPhone 3G really a brave new world for
mobile phones? Is it REALLY that important? I say it is, but maybe not in the way you think...
You see, the
Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that can apply to most
mobile phones, in the case of the
Apple iPhone 3G, it's being called the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll see that in that specific field it's mediocre at best, and at worst, utter rubbish. In the current world of
mobile phones with cameras built in, that's unforgivable. With that in mind, if it's not perfect, why is the
Apple iPhone 3G so important? Well, it's simply because the
Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on
O2, has provoked other
mobile phones to improve their offerings. In other words, people like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really battling to make up ground, and take the fight to this usurper. That's why it's important: the
Apple iPhone 3G is making people make better
mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
