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

By: Matt Sharp

Due out on July 11th is a mobile phone that looks set 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 - what makes it so special?
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 was released, and now, the newest iteration had just been announced. It's due to be unleashed on the world, on O2, on July 11th. But how does this new Apple iPhone 3G differ from other mobile phones? Well, first of all, it has an amazing 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 can say that, and that was the original iPhone.
You may remember that there was a certain amount of criticism levelled at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones have more features, people said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And at the time, in spite of the amazing interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones COULD outperform 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 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 implies, joins the world of mobile phones that DO have 3G. And boy is it fast, as it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. On top of that, you have GPS, and we should all understand 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 a brave new world for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but maybe not in the way you think...
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, 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, utter rubbish. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras included, that's unforgivable. With that in mind, if it's flawed, 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's got to be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
