The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

By: Matt Sharp

Due to be released on July 11th 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 - just look at the features!
On June 9th, a product was released that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers especially, go bonkers with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone had been 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 coolest 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 the second handset 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 can say that, and that was the original iPhone.
You may remember that there was a lot of criticism aimed at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And then, despite the amazing interface, they were right. Other mobile phones COULD outperform 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, however, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, joins the world of mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And crikey is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the internet at up to 3Mbps. On top of that, you get GPS, and we should all know how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is this the phone of the future?
After the all the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it REALLY that important? Well, it is, but it might not be in the way you think...
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, 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 realise that in that particular area it's average at best, and at worst, utter garbage. In the current climate of mobile phones with cameras included, that's unforgivable. So, if it's flawed, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Simple, it's because the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2, has provoked other mobile phones to improve their offerings. So, manufacturers 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 manufacturers to make better mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
