Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone destined to be the shining light 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 - why is it so good? On June 9th, an announcement was made that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers especially, go gaga with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone had been unveiled, and now, the newest evolution was let out of the bag. It's set 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 awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, so that all the slick features and powerful functions are available, quite literally, at your fingertips. And you'll be flicking through menus with glee, very quickly, as the Apple iPhone 3G is only 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.
As you may know, there was a lot of criticism levelled at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And at the time, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were right. Other mobile phones COULD outclass the iPhone, although, that's will be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2. The big thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more well-known 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 boy is it fast, as it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. On top of that, you have GPS, and we should all know how useful and invaluable GPS is! Apple iPhone 3G - have O2 got the best phone ever? 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 think...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its ancestor, flawed. It's not all great, and whilst that can apply to most mobile phones, in the case of the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being hyped up as the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll realise that in that particular field it's mediocre at best, and at worst, utter rubbish. In the current climate 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? Well, it's simply because the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving 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 can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
