iPHONE 3G
We analyzed the findings of CNET and several
expert reviews to get to the bottom line on the Apple
iPhone 3G. Areas of strength: The Apple iPhone 3G
has new features including support for high-speed
3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded
e-mail. The CNET report found that the call quality
on the new iPhone 3G improved over the original
iPhone and both music and video continue to
deliver an excellent experience for the user. Areas
of weakness: CNET stated in their report that the
iPhone lacked some basic features found on
everyday cell phones, the 3G network connection
tended to be shaky, e-mail syncing was quick yet
not without faults and the iPhone battery is unlike
standard cell phones as it may not be removed by
the user.
The Bottom Line on the iPhone 3G: The iPhone
3G delivered on its promise by adding critical
features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App
Store with more than 27 pages of apps available,
access to the faster 3g network and added
improvements make the new iPhone 3G a best
of breed product with added value for the
smartphone user.
