    Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) Cell Phone

    By ๑๑♥Zelfs♥๑๑  Aug 14, 2008 | 70 out of 90 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    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.

    Seriously...

    By Murray  Sep 2, 2008 | 34 out of 44 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: Technology, ease of use, iTunes, catalogs, GPS, etc etc

    Cons: Morons who expect too much

    What's not to like about an Apple computer that fits into your pocket? Seems like everyone with a chip is expecting this menace to technology to have 80GB of RAM, connect to the internet at 10mb, and come standard with a force field. Then there&...#39;s the issue of battery life. When was the last time you were able to unplug your laptop for 4 hours, surf the net, and oh ya - talk on it?! Seriously folks...chill out and give credit to the product that catapulted wireless capabilities to the next level. I love being able to check email without having to pay wireless "hot spot" fees at airports, hotels, etc. Download my favorite songs and with the swipe of a finger, I'm browsing my music catalog. The visual voicemail and GPS service are awesome too. Also like that if there's an enhancement or patch for the iphone, most of the time it can be downloaded online straight into your phone. Bonus! Can I assume all the i-haters have noticed the other companies (LG, Samsung, etc) fall quickly and shamelessly in line with iphone? Just remember the iphone when your kids start taking phone calls from their Oakley Thumps, while checking their facebook profiles from the inside of their polarized-LCD lenses. Maybe they'll be Apple i-Oakleys...hmmm? You'll probably bash them for some ignorant and/or misinformed reason too, eh? See "Cons" above Read more Less

    I have an iPhone 3G 8 GB

    By JohnathonC  Jan 23, 2009 | 11 out of 12 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: internet; camera; games; e-mail capability; ease of use to Youtube and other popular sites

    Cons: battery life lasts depending on how much you use the phone; when you talk on the phone you may accidently touch the end button with your face or ear; Internet sometimes freezes and closed out

    Overall, I've had this phone long enough to say that it is worth the money. However there are certain downloads that are needed to make internet usage a bit easier, especially with playing video clips or movie trailers (with the exception of Yout...ube). Also try not to drop this phone because it tends to scratch up (not break) easily. Read more Less

    All Features in One Phone

    By Aileen A  Jul 16, 2008 | 16 out of 23 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: ok to use

    Cons: if you dont know how to use it

    It really meets my demands in a mobile phone. Just imagined it is very easy to use and a lot of features in just one phone.

    Wow!!! globally competitive phones.

    Overall Great Phone

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 29, 2008 | 10 out of 12 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: 3g network, Wifi, Sleek sexy design, user friendly.

    Cons: No zoom in or out on camera, no video recorder

    This phone is great, you will definitely love it, even more now with the affordable price. I can't keep my hands off of it. Its just like have a pc in your pocket. Best advice is to get a car charger and get an extended insurance plan. Your servi...ce provider does not offer insurance on the phone. MUST HAVE!! Read more Less

    It Does All I Need to Have Done!

    By Champion Forest Regular  Jan 20, 2009 | 8 out of 9 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: Prompt Emails; easy of use; scads of extra applications

    Cons: battery life could be better

    I USE this phone-- it sees hours of daily use as a telephone, computer (e-mails), Day-Planner, internet, and even a library. If I'm in court, where most judges won't even allow you to read a newspaper while you await your cases on the docket,... I READ. There are many many books (and a lot of FREE ones) on I-tunes; I've re-read all of Alexandre Dumas' novels, as well as H. G. Wells and Leo Tolstoy-- either in court or with the bedside light out after my wife's asleep. Bye bye Blackberry! I truly prefer this 3G iPhone and even paid less for it than any Blackberry I ever owned. I heard about how the first iPhones had e-mail troubles, etc. This 3G performs flawlessly, at least for me.

    3G iPhone

    By Jeff H  Oct 25, 2008 | 11 out of 16 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: Ridiculously easy to use, downloadable, apps and uptates, on, and on.

    Cons: Can't receive pictures from another phone or forward emails.

    First off, love the phone. All the people knocking this phone crack me up. Canuck called it on the money. I would have to carry my laptop with me to get anymore features than this phone has. This is the first Apple product I have owned so I was scept...ical. No folders to figure out where stuff is stored, no matter what you're doing on the phone, if you leave and come back to that app all the info or words are right where you left them. If there's something wrong or new with the phone, download the upgrade in 30 seconds! It's that easy. Change my two cons and I'd own the phone forever. Read more Less

    apple leads again... and again

    By Jack Nasty  Nov 27, 2008 | 6 out of 6 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: innovation, ease of use, style, speed, options...

    Cons: none that are worth mentioning...

    the 16 gig is the one to go with because IF you want to put songs, or videos or photos... you will want the extra space.

    it is an awesome phone, and apple just leads and leads the way again. no phone comes close to this... just imitations!

    By WTFred  Sep 7, 2008 | 13 out of 21 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: EVERY thing

    Cons: Battery Life and or no replacement option, no pic mess, flash for cam...

    This phone ROCKS its soooo hard to put down... I end up having to charge it 2 or 3 times a day. I wish you could replace the battery. since it does not have that option i have bought several chargers/car,home..so that i don't run on E... This pho...ne has so many apps to toy around with.. it makes the phone soo fun.. its worth every penny I paid for it. I can't wait till they come out with the next one. I do miss pic texting but o well you get over it quick.. Read more Less

    The iPhone 3G-A Technological Failure

    By Alexandru M  Nov 1, 2008 | 16 out of 30 found this Apple iPhone 3G 16GB (Black) review helpful

    Pros: best touchscreen, apps, design

    Cons: lack of some features, no secondary camera

    Every time you hear about the iPhone 3G, you hear only good thing about it, with some minor exceptions, but if take a closer look, you'll see that the iPhone 3G, which is considered by many the greatest gadget of 2008, has some big problems that ...shouldn't exist at a smartphone. The iPhone 3G is apparently dedicated to the internet-addicted people, that need YouTube, blogs and e-mail everywhere they go. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is good at all of this, but if it has 3G, why shouldn't it have a secondary camera, like most other 3G devices? More, you can't use the phone as a modem. Well, maybe you don't use a secondary camera, or the phone as a modem so often, but sometimes you might want to make films with your phone (and post them to YouTube) or use the phone as voice recorder. The iPhone 3G also has some hardware problems, although the Samsung processor is very good, the 3G receiver some problems. Apparently, Apple selected a cheap 3G receiver and some costumers experience loss of signal. The Conclusion? The iPhone 3G is for those that think that design is the most important thing to a phone, and reduced functionality is not such a big drawback. Note: if you want design and features, buy a HTC Touch Diamond. Read more Less
