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

By: Matt Sharp

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 - just look at the features!
On June 9th, a product was released that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go gaga with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone had been unleashed, and now, the newest iteration was let out of the bag. 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 coolest features and powerful functions are available, quite literally, at your fingertips. And what control you have, as the Apple iPhone 3G is only the second device in the history of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly intuitive Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone can say that, and that was the original iPhone.
You may recall that there was a lot of criticism aimed at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, despite the beautiful 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, 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 a problem now, though, as the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name implies, joins the world of mobile phones that DO have 3G. And crikey is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, letting you connect to the internet 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 - is this the phone of the future?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really a brave new world for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its ancestor, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that can apply to most mobile phones, with the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being built up as the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll realise that in that particular area it's mediocre at best, and at worst, utter garbage. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras built in, that's a very bad thing. So, if it's not perfect, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Simple, it's because the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to up their game. So, people 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 people to make better mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, the customers!
