Review: Apple iphone 3G
The iPhone 3G is Apple’s most recent innovation in the three g phones class. At first glance, it may look like a exact replica of the original iPhone. It’s without question that the differences between the phones are physically hard to see, but there are a few subtle external differences and more than a few significant internal differences customers should take notice of.
The iPhone 3G is available in two colors, black and white. The black version comes in two distinct sizes, 8 GB and 16 GB. The white version is only available in the 16 GB capacity. It isn’t made out of aluminum, like its predecessors, but rather made up of a glossy plastic. Personally I don’t like this change, but I understand why it was necessary considering the wireless capability it has within it.
Not a lot has changed with the 3.5 inch touchscreen, but this is a sign of the beauty in its original design. The touchscreen is as responsive, if not more so, as it was in previous models. Plus the touchscreen is as bright and beautiful as ever. Apple decided to not include a dock with th is model. This is horrible when you take into consideration the old dock,from previous models, is not compatible with the 3G. On the other hand, the virtual keyboard remains completely unchanged.
As an improvement, the iPhone 3G doesn’t have a recessed headphone jack. This feature was removed because of feedback received from users, since the original release. Another great improvement regarding audio capabilities is the fact that the speakers are now a few decibels louder then they were in previous models.
Underneath the plastic exterior, it’s really impressive. The iPhone 3G zips through data transfers and Web browsing, and has been observed downloading at speeds in excess of 800 KB per second. Being a AGPS device, This model really excels in it’s performance during positioning acquisition. In that area, this phone shows it’s superiority over other 3G phones.
The iPhone does have a some flaws though. It still does not have a user replaceable battery and still lacks a slot for users to expand its memory. But these flaws pale in comparison to the overall benefits you get for owning one.
Apple still appeared to be the leader in the market in regards to the smartphones, but the competition is starting to catch up. If you want the greatest 3G phone currently on the market, the iPhone 3G would be for you.
