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

Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone that looks set to be 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 - just look at the features!
At the start of June, a product was released that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go bonkers with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone was unveiled, and now, the newest iteration had just been announced. It's set to be released, on O2, in July. 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 slick features and awesome 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 the second device in the history of mobile phones to be built on top of 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 certain amount of criticism levelled at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And then, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones COULD outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The big thing that was missing from the first iPhone was 3G, and that was where other, more well-known mobile phones won hands down. That's not a problem now, though, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, joins the world of mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And crikey is it fast, since it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. On top of that, you get GPS, and we should all know how useful and invaluable GPS is!
Apple iPhone 3G - have O2 got the best phone ever?
Once we get through the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it REALLY that important? I say it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its forerunner, flawed. It's not all great, 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 specific area it's mediocre at best, and at worst, total garbage. In the current climate of mobile phones with cameras built in, that's a very bad thing. With that in mind, if it's flawed, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Well, it's simply because the Apple iPhone 3G, coming 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 the fight to this usurper. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is forcing manufacturers to make better mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
