The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

By: Matt Sharp

Due out on July 11th is a mobile phone destined 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?
At the start of June, an announcement was made that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go gaga with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was released, and now, the newest incarnation was let out of the bag. 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 thing... it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the slick features and awesome functions are available, quite literally, at your fingertips. And what control you have, 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 first iPhone.
As you may know, there was a lot of criticism levelled at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones DID outclass the iPhone, although, that's going to be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The big thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones beat it. That's not an issue now, however, as the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name implies, joins the world of mobile phones that DO have 3G. And boy is it fast, because 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 know how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - have O2 got the best phone ever?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its predecessor, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies 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 see that in that specific area it's average at best, and at worst, total rubbish. In the current climate of mobile phones with cameras built in, 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, coming soon on O2, has provoked other mobile phones to improve their offerings. 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, the customers!
