The Apple iPhone 3G - O2's biggest phone of the year!

Due to be released on July 11th is a mobile phone destined to become the shining light of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? 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 lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go mad with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was released, and now, the newest version was announced. It's due to be released, on O2, in July. But how does this new Apple iPhone 3G differ from other mobile phones? Well, first of all, 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 handset in the history of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly easy to use Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone came before it, and that was the original iPhone.
You may recall that there was a lot of criticism levelled at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones do more than it. And then, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were correct. Other mobile phones DID outclass the iPhone, although, that's going to be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2. The main thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones won hands down. That's not a problem now, however, as 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 web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you have 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? I say 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 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, total garbage. In the current climate of mobile phones with cameras included, that's unforgivable. So, 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 improve their offerings. In other words, people like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really fighting 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 better mobile phones, and hey, that can only be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
