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

By: Matt Sharp

Due out on July 11th is a mobile phone that looks set to become the crown jewel of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? C an the Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - just look at the features!
At the start of June, an announcement was made that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go mad with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was unleashed, and now, the newest iteration had just been let out of the bag. It's set to be released, on O2, on July 11th. But how does this new Apple iPhone 3G differ from 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 what control you have, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second handset in the world of mobile phones to be built on top of the amazingly intuitive 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 levelled at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And at the time, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones COULD outclass the iPhone, although, that's will be a lot more difficult to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The main thing that was missing from the first iPhone 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 implies, is now one of the mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And boy is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, letting you connect to the internet at up to 3Mbps. On top of that, you have GPS, and we should all know how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - have O2 got the best phone ever?
Once we get through 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, similar to its predecessor, 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 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 average at best, and at worst, utter rubbish. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras included, that's a very bad thing. 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, coming soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to up their game. In other words, people like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really battling to make up ground, and take on this challenger. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is forcing people to make even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
