The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

By: Matt Sharp

Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone that looks set to become the shining light of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? C an the Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - what makes it so special?
On June 9th, a product was released that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go bonkers with excitement. It was nearly a year since the first iPhone was released, and now, the newest iteration had just been let out of the bag. It's set to be unleashed on the world, on O2, in July. But how is this new Apple iPhone 3G better than other mobile phones? Well, first of all, it has an amazing 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the coolest features and powerful functions are there for you, quite literally, at your fingertips. And what control you have, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second device in the history of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly easy to use Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone can say that, and that was the original iPhone.
As you may know, there was a lot of criticism aimed at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones do more than it. And at the time, in spite of the amazing interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones DID outclass the iPhone, although, that's will be a lot more difficult to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2. The big thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones won hands down. That's not an issue now, though, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name implies, is now one of the mobile phones that DO have 3G. And boy is it fast, since 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 GPS is!
Apple iPhone 3G - have O2 got the best phone ever?
Once we get through the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really a brave new world for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? I say it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, just like its ancestor, flawed. It's not all great, and whilst that can apply to most mobile phones, in the case of the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being called the ultimate phone. However, if you pick a feature at random, the camera, you'll realise that in that specific field it's average at best, and at worst, utter garbage. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras included, that's a very bad thing. So, if it's flawed, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Simple, it's because the Apple iPhone 3G, arriving soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to up their game. So, 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 making people make even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
