All that this phone has is an amazing GUI ... THATS IT! .. its useless in all other respects. I think Nokia E71 takes the cake.

            The iPhone is flawed in many respects. Average camera, no flash, basic bluetooth features... this list can go out. The thing is you're more than willing to overlook these small flaws because the iPhone excells massively in every other area. I've owned very recent models of Nokia, SE, and Samsungs yet I'd still put the iPhone a world above them. If you've never seen or used one don't base your opinion on reviews. You have to see it to believe it.

                I dont know whats the hassle about 2mp camera on the iPhone... unlike Nokia or Sony Ericsson that has hundreds of range N,E,..K,W,Z..hmm..iPhone 3G has all the needed function in one device... I use a Nokia N95 8Gb before the iPhone 8Gb... Yes.. I cant send mms or videocall...but the I enjoyed the fast access to Gmail/Yahoo..My email looked sooooo good when downloaded and super fast...heaps of applications can be added to the phone...I love how my music sounds when I'm on the tram to work... Its easy to update the software when hooked up to itunes...been using it for 3 weeks now...loving it!...but hey..if u want a 5megapixel camera, mms and videocalls... go get a nokia or sony....:)

                  I bought an Iphone 3g two days ago, and the 3g recption, is most of the time, one to two bars. It also also performs better in 2g mode.

                  Since finding out, that the antenna is at the bottom of the Iphone. When turning the phone around, my signal increases to full reception.

                  I have to say, I have been dealing and fixing mobile phones for years. This is the first time I have come across, an antenna installed at the base of the phone. Where the users hand is placed sheilding the signal, from working. This phone was tested on the Optus 3G 2100 Network Toowoomba QLD Australia.

                  Tell me, do we need to have heads that spin to use this phone???????????????????

                  Maybe Apple should go back to making computers, they can't even place antenna in right direction and position god help us!

                    hi..really when comparing the iphone 3G to other phones we 'll find only the Nokia N95 which may challenge the iphone 3G..
                    Nokia N95 has a 5 mp camera..and video rec.,
                    but the iphone only 2 mp..without video rec.,
                    and also the bluetooth feature..and the out speaker..,etc..
                    but iphone=experience+style+less problems..
                    Nokia N95 has many problems as many other Nokia phones..,
                    Enjoy..

                      So the I-Phone in my opinion. Just had a hands-on-experience. My post is for Romania so i don't know if some things i say may be accurate in other countries:

                      The SMS function - the dictionary only in english
                      Google Maps - don't work in Romania, they get lost along the way
                      Bad camera - nice light sensor but no autofocus and image stabilizer
                      Without an unlimited internet connection you are toast :)
                      The bluetooth problem - here we use it above average
                      Lack of privacy - ... ;)
                      3G mania- the diference is Edge has 220kb/s and 3G is 384kb/s
                      No videocall
                      Weather - Constanta's name is some thing like Kumarg .... wtf?
                      Music - uber cool in headsets but out loud ... Only 1 speaker , the other one is just for looks

                      More to come :)

                          this is a totally ridiculous phone, it is such a con i have been a fool by falling for the way the phone has been marketed.
                          no video no mms poor quality camera, if your looking for a handset to do the same for a budget price the samsung solid is a better phone.

                            The phone looks and feels great but it has really bad quality and other problems. I returned mine two days ago.

                            - I experienced that 3G is really weak and draws a lot of batteries, at least compared to an SE W890. Other have same problem.

                            - My casing cracked, look here for more with same problem: http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/10/our-iphone-3g-cracked-too-what-gives-apple/

                            - The iPhone sends private data to Apple about what applications you have installed. Have you ever heard of Nokia or SE doing that!? Look here: http://gizmodo.com/5035358/60-million-apps-sold-at-itunes-store-there-is-a-kill-switch-says-steve-jobs

                                  Apple has taken the iPhone to the next level and added some truly mouth-watering features. 3G is lightning fast compared to EDGE, and GPS means you'll never get lost again. You still can't send MMS and there's only a 2-megapixel camera, which may annoy you, but overall it's a wonderful experience

                                    Is it true that we cannot send pictures or music thru bluetooth?

                                      to all of those people that think the iphone is not as good as other phones, then your wrong it is. yeah it can't send picture messages but honestly how do you actually send 1 or 2 every few months. Also people are complaining about the bluetooth, that you can't bluetooth pictures or music, have you never heard of download from the internet. anyways i think it's one of the best phones and so do may. for thoses who still think it 's a waste of space, it's your loss then. enjoy

                                        I keep on hearing that the iphone 3g is cool and worth getting but also has its limitations. So now I'm wondering what those limitations are? are they serious limitations? because I'm planning to get the iphone 3g soon and I just want some honest feedback from users. And please "NO" bashers.
