Apple iPhone 3G - features and reviews

Editor's Note

The Apple iPhone 3G needs no introduction.  The iPhone is the best known, most desired phone in history. The iPhone is loved for its fantastic, easy to use and intuitive menu system, for the thousands of Apps you can download, for its amazing web browser and of course because its the ultimate personal music and video player too. 

The iPhone 3G improves on the original by adding 3G connectivity for faster downloads of emails and web pages whilst on the move (and out of wi-fi coverage).  GPS is added making the Maps function more accurate, but also opening up the Apps market to more location based services, such as automatically finding restaurants with great reviews close to where you are.

The iPhone 3G is available free on £45 tariffs from O2 or CarphoneWarehouse.

It launches on Pay as you go on September 16th too.
