Apple iPhone 3G - user opinions and reviews

Hi to all "iphoners"
I need asistance with the following:
I live in S Africa and have the iphone 3g 8 gb.U.S. version. (I am using it with a turbo sim)
I used itunes to sync stuff on to my phone but recently when I connected my phone to my computer, it said: 'something wrong with your phone, contact nearest apple store"
now the nearest apple store is approximately 8ooo miles away!
Now when I connect the phone it doesn't even show it in the itunes!
Therefore I can no longer sync it or even back up my phone.
Please advise how to solve this problem.
Thanx.

It`s a very nice phone,but no voices to turn in GPS has a very very big mistake,i prefer the nokia N95 is more customizable than this Iphone,may be the next generation fix this big mistake in the GPS.
Pd:Google Maps is a very nice feature but without voices is worthless (that GPS is imposible to use in a car because you have to watch every second the map)

Tough fact of life :
During yesterday's conference call, Apple revealed that iPhone was responsible for 39% of the company's revenues in Q4 2008. Due to Apple's decision to report iPhone earnings as subscription revenue over 24 months, however, these numbers are not reflected in the $1.14 billion net profit and $7.9 billion in revenue reported yesterday. If they had been included, this would represent an additional $3.8 billion in revenue and an additional $1.3 billion in net income.
As noted by many, the size of this number is remarkable for a product that has been on the market for only 15 months. Steve Jobs highlighted the significance of the numbers by putting Apple's iPhone sales into perspective:
- Apple sold more iPhones than RIM sold Blackberries in Q4 2008
- In terms of revenue, Apple is now #3 amongst mobile phone vendors behind Nokia and Samsung and beating out Sony Ericsson which falls at #4.

The problem with the 6500 slide memory card your mentioning just put a little peice of paper in the back of the phone where the memory card pushes against the back cover, that'll keep it pressed in ;)

People can also restore and update iPhones themselves instead of having to take the phone to a service centre.
Probably the phone with the most problem's I've had to deal with in the past year is the Nokia 6500 slide, mainly to do with the memory card microswitch on the phone back causing constant resets.

iPhone 3G - failure - is the most returned handset currently in the market. Hardware issue due to mass production.

I have an iphone. The big touch screen is nice if you need glasses, and the phone is realy dependable (does not hangs like my nokia e65), easy to use (not as my sony ericsson k530i), but it has some major disadvantages. You can not connect the phone to you notebook, and I have a macbook that should be compatible, but hell it does not do that, it only connects to Bt headsets. The typing is easy for use for most people, but for me its a bit difficult (i have big hands, and need to retype severel times till it accepts the good button). The battery life is something poor. Hardly survives a busy day, so its not that good either. althogether i think it was not worth the contract and price.
So if you like the big screen buy an ipod touch and a mobile. Untill apple does not solve these problems no recomendation from me.

DV, 21 Oct 2008yes, that is so so so true, I agree!!I think apple have the credit of being so original in their designs and that other phone manufacturers are trying to follow their success by being a copycat. I can surely expect another breakthrough from apple in the phone industry while other manufacturers will just run behind them to keep the pace. iPod Vs (Zune, sony, etc...)?! Rings a bell?
