Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)
Reviewer: ZDNet14 July 2008- Overall 7
Parts of the iPhone 3G are superb -- Web browsing, email, App Store, GPS -- but these are met in equal measure by elements which are either absent or mediocre. When we use the iPhone 3G, we can't ignore the vast divide between what the iPhone is and what the iPhone really should be, and when we're being asked to pay a premium for this phone it seems unfair for Apple to not include important smartphone functionality.

If local iPhone pricing emulates what we saw in the US last year, we expect a price drop in two or three months. Until then, check your budget carefully before signing your life away, and make sure you have enough money left over to buy some decent headphones. Read more

The one fly in the iPhone 3G's ointment, at least for Australian users, will continue to be the relatively high prices we pay for wireless data. If you can temper that -- and bear in mind that at least Optus and Telstra are offering complimentary WiFi at their hotspots -- and keep your data use under control, then the iPhone 3G is a highly appealing prospect as a premium 3G phone, as well as being a just plain fun phone to use -- and there's really precious few of those...

Reviewer: HeatonArmstrong, Product Review2 August 2010
I love love love my iphone. I have only ever used a phone for texting and calling and was sceptical that I would get the most out of a phone like this, but I love it (as do my 2 and 4 year olds for the games and watching the video I take of them). It is very easy to use (my 2 yr old can navigate to where he wants to without a problem) and is intuative in the way the menu is listed. I also love having access to the web wherever I am, it makes life so much easier! Read more
