Apple iPhone 3G Black - 16GB Cell Phone User Reviews

Pros: The Apple iPhone 3G offers critical new features including support for high-speed 3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded e-mail. Its call quality is improved and it continues to deliver an excellent music and video experience.

Cons: The iPhone 3G continues to lack some basic features that are available on even the simplest cell phone. Also, we prefer the original iPhone's design.

Summary: I have already read the reviews of iphone and have to say that it is really awesome cell phone! Very cool that I'm not the owner of iphone (lol, I use Nokia N-Gage QD). So now I have the reason to buy iPhone! :)

Pros: Thin, but SOLID feel, doesn't scratch, extreme battery life, plenty of features without becoming cumbersome. Super sharp display, easy backup of all data to your machine, so if you lose your phone, you are totally safe. Easy to deal with Voice Mail, Photos, YouTube, iTunes, etc.

Cons: No video recording, hard to tell which direction is up in low light! AT$T's Edge service, (although most people use regular WiFi 90% of the day anyway) Apple needs to open it up to very qualified developers. G3 eats batteries so I'm glad it doesn't have it! WiFi is MUCH faster.

Summary: All n' All, this is the best Cell / Pico Computer ever designed by Mankind. It's a marvel of engineering and will be remembered as the first true "smartphone" 100 years from now.

Extremely deep features, but still easy to use. Love the "Visual" Voice Mail / being able to attach photos to people that call. Google Maps has never been seen before unless you have used an iPhone! Using 2 fingers to zoom in/out is 20 years ahead of any other product. It has MultiTouch, not just a Touch screen! Only cell phone with a REAL Browser... very nice.

Downside, I don't like being tied to any one carrier, it needs to have a FREE Voice over IP feature, the days of Cell Phones are gone, so once Apple turns this feature on, anyone can talk for free. Much better than the Cell Monopolies in my opinion. iTunes is a blast to use on the iPhone, it has a strong speaker, solid vibrate, and best of all the battery can last for DAYS and DAYS without recharging.

(And a lot of people don't yet know) The iPhone battery is just $20 to replace. So keep that in mind if you still have it in 4-5 years when it needs a new one. Otherwise, learn that the lithium-ion battery in this device is HUGE, it's the longest life cellphone of any of them.

Overall, very good experience, the iPhone is the phone to have if you want QUALITY in your life.

Pros: Works as promised.
Incredible ease of use.
Fabulous integration with computer applications.

Cons: Sometimes the Safari browser shuts down for no reason.
Can't manipulate photos sent via email.
Can't download music directly onto the Iphone through the web browser.

Summary: I waited in line for 5 hours for the Iphone, having been looking forward to it for months. I must say that my expectations were exceeded, for the most part. The phone is light and easy to handle, and the ability to switch between applications while on a phone call is tremendously helpful. The touch-keypad is easy to get used to (2 days) and allows me to type much faster than on my old phone. The integrated Google maps feature is really nice to have. Syncing is easy and fast. Overall - a really great great product.

Pros: The touch screen has been amazing to use and is so fun to navigate thru the phone. Another cool aspect is turning the phone from portrait to landscape depending on what you are doing. The screen is so vibrant that using the visual voicemail feature is amazing! I have also never used a better Internet browser on any other device. Being able to view youtube videos has been a fun bonus.

Cons: Features that they didn't add that I am missing include video capability and customizable ringtones. When using EDGE, (would be nice if I could use AT&T 3G instead) you cannot make or receive calls. With only an internal battery you have to take the phone in to get fixed if your battery starts to go bad.

Summary: After taking my time to get to know the new Apple iPhone I decided that it was a keeper for me. I have used tons of different smartphones and besides a few cons, this device works.
