The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

By: Matt Sharp

Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone that looks set to be the crown jewel 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 fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers especially, go bonkers with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone had been released, and now, the newest iteration was announced. 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 of all, it has an amazing 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the slick features and awesome functions are there for you, quite literally, at your fingertips. And what control you have, as the Apple iPhone 3G is only the second device 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 first iPhone. As you may know, there was a lot of criticism aimed at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, despite the amazing interface, they were right. Other mobile phones DID outclass the iPhone, although, that's will 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 well-known mobile phones beat it. That's not an issue now, though, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name suggests, joins the world of mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And boy is it fast, since it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the internet at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you get GPS, and we should all understand how useful and invaluable that is! Apple iPhone 3G - is it really that good? Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it REALLY that important? I say it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect... You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that can apply to most mobile phones, with the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being hyped up as the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll see that in that particular field it's average at best, and at worst, total rubbish. In the current 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, arriving soon on O2, has provoked other mobile phones to improve their offerings. In other words, manufacturers 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 manufacturers to make better mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, the customers!
