      Apple iPhone 3G Smart Phone

      Review summary: The latest iPhone's 3G wireless radio accelerates data surfing, but the new model offers little else to justify upgrading from the previous iPhone.

      Pros: Has a 3G radio for faster wireless data ; Integrates assisted GPS

      Cons: Service plan is more expensive

      Verdict: If you already own a first-generation iPhone, though, you should be wary of upgrading. You'll pay more for service, and if you don't live in a 3G-friendly area, or can manage well enough using a Wi-Fi network for Web browsing instead of a cellular ...

      Review: iPhone 3G

      By Joel Evans

      Review summary: Just like last year I waited in line for the iPhone. This time, though, the experience was wrought with server crashes and other issues which left me not only standing in line for longer than I had planned, but also going almost an entire day with a ...

      iPhone 3G - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

      By Lisa Gade

      Review summary: The original iPhone's launch 1 year ago was likely the hottest consumer electronics event of 2007. Even grandmothers and technophobes knew about Apple's cool new phone thanks to long lines at the mall and a barrage of major news coverage. The iPhone ...

      Pros: Fast, fantastic touch screen experience, easy to use yet powerful enough to handle syncing, Exchange and other business tasks. The 3.5" display is one of the best we've seen on a mobile device. Great music and video playback, as you'd expect from an ...

      Cons: Still no user replaceable battery (a bigger hurt thanks to 3G's power consumption), MMS, video shooting or copy and paste. The 2 megapixel camera isn't exactly cutting edge. No tasks or notes syncing

      Verdict: The iPhone 3G is certainly the most fun and easy to use phone available today and for the foreseeable future. Yet it brings smartphone features to the table and a very powerful Internet experience-- two things not usually associated with fun and easy. ...

      Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

      By Joseph Hanlon

      Review summary: While parts of the iPhone 3G are superb, there are still some big features missing from this device. If you add up the extras, the iPhone doesn't seem like a phone that everyone can afford.

      Pros: 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS ; Outstanding Safari browser and email ; iPod app is great ; App Store is best of its kind

      Cons: No navigation software ; Dismal camera app ; Disappointing battery life ; Counter-intuitive menus and settings

      Verdict: The phone itself may be more affordable but the already high cost of AT&T service got even higher. You will now pay $200 more on service over the contractual 2 years so actually getting the iPhone 3G ISN'T more afforadable

      The Second Coming: Ars goes in-depth with the iPhone 3G

      By Jacqui Cheng

      Review summary: The iPhone 3G has been hyped for almost as long as the original iPhone itself. But is it worth the upgrade cost and a whole new two-year agreement with AT&T in order to get one? Ars did an in-depth review of every detail of the newest iPhone—including ...

      Verdict: The $199 (or $299, or $399, or $499) question is: is it worth it? As usual, the answeris "it depends." If you're using some old, crappy cell phone, you're looking for something new, and you're not allergic toAT&T, then go for it. Do it now. Well, ...
