Customer Reviews

Perfect design
I have had by iPhone for a while now and still love the feel of it. The plastic replacement for the previously metal back for the phone is much nicer to touch and fits nicely into the hand.

The camera, although specification-wise is not as good as the camera on some other phones it is still brilliant.

The battery power is surprisingly good compared to the amount of energy running all these tasks must take up.

Literally thousands of applications download; some more useful than others. Your iPhone becomes worth the rather expensive original cost you paid for it.

The internet is quicker to open up and load a page than if you had to use a computer and is ideal for simpler tasks.

Also the inbuilt music player which is basically an iPod touch makes playing music amazingly simple.

Typing using the "QWERTY" touch keyboard is a lot easier than it may initially appear. Although one suggestion I would have is the possibility of having an additional stylus allowing hand-writing recognition is you so desired.

An excellent buy and the money will be well worth it.

Not as practical as it ought to be.
I have had the phone for six months and I use it mainly for business. The sounds are a little weak, particularly the calendar appointments reminder which is virtually useless, hence late appointments. The qwerty keyboard is not up to scratch. Too many re-enterings. The touch screen does not always respond immediately and some times like ending phone calls not at all. Away from the strict practicalities and necessities of business it is a great novelty and fun. For business: No. Paddy Murphy

Not brilliant as a phone
I have an iPhone 3G and my wife has original iPhone, neither are clear quality on voice calls compared to Nokia & Sony Ericsson previously owned. It drops calls more often as well. Signal strength meter bears no relation to actual signal!

Also the sim card slot has to be held in with sellotape as the inside spring isn't working properly. They won't cover it under guarantee because the bottom strip inside the charge socket has turned red (google it) so voiding warranty even though nothing to do with mechanical fault!

They accused me in the Apple store of getting it wet, which I haven't, apart from using it when it's been raining (!)

There's also another sensor strip in the headphone socket, whcih is OK on mine, but some users report it has gone red when using in gym or running.

The Apple logo on the back has partly rubbed off, so I have now bought a Belkin sleeve case (very good) to cover this and the sellotape!

It's an expensive toy, but does email and internet well. The downloadable Apps may swing it for you if you like games and stuff.
