Apple iPhone 3G Review

0. phoneArena posted on 14 Jul 2008, 08:07

It’s finally here, the first phone to beat the iPhone. Or is it? The iPhone 3G is out, with high-speed data and GPS and Exchange support and a whole slew of new features. It’s been slightly redesigned, but remains 100% Apple. It now has an App Store, where developers can create applications for the device and distribute them through iTunes...

This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Anyone ever think of the very simple fact that ATT had to ask for the IPHONE... and that was after VZW was approached and declined? IPHONE is very simply put a Toy, not a Phone. When You place the IPHONE against say the Dare, the IPHONE fanboys state all the cool things it does when you touch it or how it scrolls with a flick or how awsome the UI looks.. The fanboys never want to admit the huge lack of functionality! Then you have the Dare with its matched cool factors, maybe not as cool as IPHONE, but completely functional in what you need a phone to do and expect from it. Not putting down apple at all but you are much better buying an ITOUCH for all your multimedia needs, and get yourself a phone that offers you MMS and all the other lacking functions not present on the IPHONE. The Dare may not have the Apple logo on it, or be advertised much, but atleast it gets the Job done, and offers you all the same features as the IPHONE and more!

You're a loner here... iPod music menu and functionality is incomparable to God even! Sony Ericsson phones are second (archangelic) :D

I think I walked into the wrong forum. I didn't realize this was the Dare and iPhone comparrison forum. I just want to know if the iPhone is a decent phone or not. I reallly don't care about network coverage in this forum but for the record I live in Texas on a dirt road and AT & T drops more calls than my previous Veriozon network. At least Verizon was predictable when I would drop a call... i.e. I knew exactly at which point in the turn in the road I would drop any given call. I've read elsewhere there is some lag when touching the screen or the iPhone will freeze up and requires a hard restart. Is this a regular happening or more isolated? This is more along the lines of what I was wanting to read. What glitches are you iPhone users experiencing? Are you getting tech support in relation to any issues with your phone? Warranty issues (through AT & T or Apple)? How is the mere 8GB suiting you? I only wish the iPhone had a memory card slot. Let me hear more about the iPhone please so I can make a more educated decision.

Ha, ha, ha, funny-est review i've ever read - i have had the great pleasure of using mobile (sorry cell) phones for the past 22 years & the iPhone3G is by far & away the "best" phone i've ever used, its functions far outweigh any other phone on the market, dont slate it till you've used it people!! ;) Just had the misfortune of using a Samsung Omnia this past couple of days - "iPhone Killer"? Jeez, dont make me laugh - most painfull touch screen i've ever witnessed - my HP Jornada PDA i owned 10 years ago was quicker & cleaner than that.

Wtf i watch ppl all the time talk about how good the iphone is but it really doesn't do half the stuff a regular phone does. you cant change the battery so when i runs dead you have to charge it un like the instinct and others that you just add another battery and keep going. i have owned the iphone both new and old, dare, vu, and the new storm what can i say i like having them all over all the iphone is ok but if you are a business man or a techy you might need to consider a diff phone the i phone is good for ppl who use there phone as a casual thing. if you are a techy get the instinct hands down and if you are a business person get the storm. dont get me wrong the iphone sets the bar but doesnt like to use it. sorry guys the truth boils down to propaganda really good advertising. and don't let me forget to mention that if you use the touchscreen fast like i do you will freeze the phone up alot!!!
