The Apple iPhone 3G - the jewel in O2's crown!

Due out later in July is a mobile phone destined to be the crown jewel of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? C an the Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - what makes it so special?
On June 9th, a product was released that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go bonkers with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone was unleashed, and now, the newest iteration was let out of the bag. It's due to be released, on O2, in July. But how does this new Apple iPhone 3G differ from other mobile phones? Well, first thing... it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, so that all the slick features and powerful functions are there for you, quite literally, at your fingertips. And what control you have, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second handset in the world of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly easy to use Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone came before it, and that was the first iPhone.
You may recall that there was a lot of criticism aimed at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, despite the amazing interface, they were correct. Other mobile phones DID outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be a lot more difficult to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2. The main thing that was missing from the first iPhone was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones beat it. That's not an issue now, however, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, joins the world of mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And boy is it fast, since it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you have GPS, and we should all know how useful and invaluable GPS is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is it REALLY the future?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? I say it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its predecessor, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies to most mobile phones, in the case of the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being built up as the ultimate phone. However, if you pick a feature at random, the camera, you'll realise that in that particular field it's average at best, and at worst, utter garbage. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras included, 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, arriving soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to improve their offerings. In other words, manufacturers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really fighting to make up ground, and take on this challenger. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is forcing manufacturers to make even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
