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

By: Matt Sharp

Due to be released on July 11th 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? Is the Apple iPhone 3G the one that will beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - what makes it so special?
At the start of June, a product was released that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go bonkers with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was unleashed, and now, the newest incarnation was let out of the bag. 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 thing... it has an amazing 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 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.
You may remember that there was a lot of criticism aimed at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones have more features, people said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, in spite of the amazing interface, they were correct. Other mobile phones DID outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The main thing that the first iPhone lacked was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones beat it. That's not a problem now, however, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, is now one of the mobile phones that DO have 3G. And crikey is it fast, as it uses HSDPA, letting you connect to the internet 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 that good?
After the all the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but maybe not in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies 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 average at best, and at worst, utter garbage. 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? 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 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 even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
