Three G Phone: Apple iPhone
If you’re in the market for a three G phone, take a look at the iPhone 3G from Apple. On the surface, the Apple iPhone 3G model appears to look exactly like the original iPhone. It is certainly very difficult to tell them apart physically, but there are subtle external differences and significant internal differences that consumers should be aware of.
Gadget lovers have the choice of two colors – black and white. The black model comes in 8 GB and 16 GB versions. The white model only comes in the 16 GB variety. Unlike previous models, this iPhone’s body is made of glossy plastic rather than aluminum. I found this change disappointing, but I can understand its necessity considering all of the wireless activity that may be brewing within the 3G’s innards.
Not much has changed with the iPhone’s 3.5-inch touchscreen, but that is probably a good thing. The screen is still bright and beautiful, and the touchscreen is as responsive as previous models. This time around, Apple decided not to include a dock with the phone. This is unforgivable considering the old dock is not compatible with the 3G. The virtual keyboard, though it takes getting used to, remains unchanged.
Unlike previous models, the iPhone 3G does not have a recessed headphone jack, as this was an annoyance voiced by users since the iPhone release. Another positive trait regarding audio capabilities is the fact that the speaker is a few decibels louder than before.
Under the hood the iPhone really excels. For a 3G phone, the iPhone zips along with data transfers. Web browsing and downloading speeds as fast as 800 Kbps were observed during informal testing. The iPhone 3G is an AGPS device, and as such, this really increases performance during position acquisition. In these aspects, the phone shows its dominance among other 3G phones.
The iPhone 3G is not without flaws, however. It would be nice have a user replaceable battery and a slot for some expandable memory. Another missing feature is tethering. It would be ideal to harness the power of 3G networks for some laptop duties.
Apple still appears to lead the race in regards to smartphones, but the competition is not far behind. If you want the best 3G phone, you can’t go wrong with the iPhone 3G.
