I tested this phone over the weekend as I came in the post, so I tested it, to see if my views on it have changed and the answer is No! IN 10 DAYS THERE WILL BE ANOTHER IPHONE COMING OUT. But hang on, it's the same phone, but it has 3G and you STILL cant video call, and it charges you MORE to use it on it's tinternet.

Leaving alone the accessory bits and bobs can anyone say how the iphone actually performs as a phone- i mean connectivity,sound quality,any concerns of freezing that sort of stuff? After all this has to be ones main decision making factor when buying a mobile phone as there is no point in buying something that takes a great picture or has the worlds best sound quality when playing music, if it is rubbish when u try to use it as a phone!!!

thats unacceptable mr editor, you get nothing on 02, they are very expensive and their call centres are a joke, ringing you, claiming that your phone has been stolen even though it hasnt or something daft like that. I have talked to many people as it's my job to talk, and 4/5 people said that 02 are rubbish. So I pulled together the top networks, this is official and not realesed until midnight, but here you are. 1) Vodafone 2) T-mobile 3) 3-pay 4) 02 5) Orange So there you have it Mr Editor Sir! 02 is 4th, and that's offical, please comment back.

Hiya, You have read one of my many reviews, and here is one of them! I state the Good, Bad, Balance, opinion, Recommendadtions and ration. Omg, No, No, No. What are Apple Doing!? Bringing out a new Iphone. AH! This phone isnt ment for Business men, we only got it cause someone put the wrong sticker on it! and its only avalible on 02! Why?! Why put it on th worse network on the entire planet? Well I will tell you! Ever since BT cellnet were taken over my 02, their standards kinda went down the pan, they have made exculsive phones in the past but they have either been too expensive and very pointless. The iphone is still very pointless and still very expensive try (270) for HTMT moble phone with NO 3G, whats the point in that? No point waste of time money and with no effort. Okay, Things in the Iphone must go! stockmarkets cant, but the youtube icon can, its only there for lazy peoplewho can't be bothered to go on the internet and find it! (If it has an internet) They braught it out far too early, they should take it back, put an extra front camra on it give it 3G, then resell it for only for £175, and on all networks, but apple is made for 02 only! But, there is talk of a new iphone coming out so, lets wait and see! Allternatives include Samsung F700 and the W910i [Editor's comment: Actually, our users have voted O2 the best network, so your views on O2 are in a minority.]

The iPhone is a good device in areas of entertainment like websurfing, music player and such but it lacks a good camera, GPS and is limiting the user to use apple software(iTunes and such) It has a nice touch screen and the largest screen for amazing pics and videos but it feels more like a MP3/MP4 player and can surf the net. It really lacks what business users need and is not an all round phone. average phone. amazing new style for a phone but not too much new technology. look at the iTouch. looks almost the same. try for a new look Apple, maybe then u'll get more users. But for now, I'll stick with Nokia.

I dont know y some british people dont like this phone. Ive had mine for a month and yes im british and i think its amazing. I was looking at a G600 and then buying a nano but i consider my money well spent. Well yea there over priced but for a good reason. The iphone is the way forward. People moan that theres no 3G but only 2% of mobile phone users use this feature. Theres no sendable files. But do you really need it when u can watch a video on youtube or get a picture from the net. My iphone is the 8gb one and it is jailbroken the installer application is all aces. In america like everyone has an iphone that is the way it should be. Have this phone for a week you cant imagine live without it!!!

To Hifaash I think one of the reasons Brits hate the iphone is because of the technology we have available. I have family in Mission, Texas, who i often mock over the mobile technology they have to make do with. Personally,i think we Brits expected better technology from a multi-billion pound company, especially with the asking price of the product. Plus, internationally it seems unfair that while many of the super powers are having a credit crunch, Apple feel it necessary to charge people £800 for what is a sub-par phone Personally, my encounters with iphone (quite a few, one of my best mates has one)have made it come across to me as an excellent Media device, but little else. The camera is disgraceful, the 'Navigation' is bearable at the best of times and the typing is uncomfortable. I can say the that the internet is great, but with both a psp and an eee pc, i dont think a third internet device would really be needed

I think the iPhone makes a great gadget that u never get bored with simply by installing new programs, games, themes - the lot, and the user interface is great and very easy to use. Altho stated as a 2mp camera, when pics uploaded to pc they look far better quality than expected. However, as a phone i think there is a few major downfalls. I, like many others out there, use bluetooth a lot mainly for file sharing, this cannot be done with the iPhone altho i'm sure somebody will come up with a program to do it soon. Edge, altho available in most places, is VERY EXPENSIVE. BEWARE if u are on contract and use a lot without an unlimited bolt on. I have had to cancel a few nights out with the lads shortly after receiving my bill - NOT GOOD!!! I have downloaded a program that is suppose to enable the user to turn on/off services but doesnt work! Battery life is ok considering the numerous features. I am also disappointed that MMS does not feature as i used that a lot on my previous phones. I have downloaded "Swirly MMS" which is suppose to do the trick altho i have so far not been able to get it to work! Overall, great gadget, disappointing phone.

Ok lots of bad reviews on here about the iphone, well im going to add my bit first off im not tied to any silly contract. Next thing to was to update the firmware to 1.1.4 & then Jailbreak it I now have alot of apps, themes, wallpapers, games and ringtones have a video camera that does 15fps and is very decent quality with sound. Also have MMS installed on it to so now can send and receive picture messages no problem. Also added bonus it unlocked to any network. Battery life hasn't been a problem for me as when not using wifi i turns it off and dims the screen slightly this keeps it runnig for a few days with out recharging. Plus i live in an area where EDGE is strong so using mobile built in internet hasn't been a problem. The iphone on it own is pretty standard affair but once you use it to it full potential it becomes one of the best gadgets/mobiles on the market today. Only downsides i find now with this mobile is the limited bluetooth & can't change the battery but these are only small problems for me.

Well, I've had my iPhone for a good few months now and I still think it's a beautiful phone. However, I am now changing to a more practical phone as I am fed up of some of the iPhone's features. The best things about the iPhone are: o Ipod - uses cover-flow, and it's really fun to use, holds loads of tracks (2000) and is easy to use. o Browser/Internet - uses Apple's Safari browser, it's just like using your computer, something I'm really gonna miss! o Sat Nav - as good as google maps! Worst points are: o MMS - You can't send or receive picture messages which, in this day and age, is a major downside o Video recording - Again the iPhone is seriously compromising when it doesn't include video recording! o SMS interface - it's handy to see your SMS history as a conversation but the keyboard is difficult to use compared with conventional keyboards (especially when drunk!) So overall I'd say it's a pretty phone and a lovely music player, but you need to be able to sacrifice MMS, video messaging & normal texting! I'd basically say the iPhone is a media player with a phone, not a phone with a media player! Laura xx Worst

I think too many people want toys and gadgets now a days and not multi-functional units that can perform tasks. Suffice to say, for a professional like myself the iphone is a very handy tool. Like many other phones in it's class I can synchronise it to my outlook, fill it with notes and appointments, and have even used it to find a location when my Tomtom's battery had died. Surfing the net is a little slow, but it makes up for this by being able to pull up real websites as apposed to the toned down versions made specifically for phone users. I have a Blackberry as well but find the iphone more versatile and easier to use. If you are after toys, perhaps the iphone is not for you. However, if you are a professional that requires an electronic replacement for that dreadful dated filofax...... this is chappy

For the poor brainwashed sheep who gave this "phone" a rave review...."it's not really a phone." they claim. "EXACTLY" reply the NON - GULLABLE of the population, "thats the whole point of the con fest - its claims to be a PHONE when in practice 2 paper cups connected by a length X of string (WITH the STRING CUT! LMAOPMPMP!!) make an infinately more efficient communication device then the i"Phone"!LOLOLOL !! Corrections for the ignorant below; 1) Apple aren't reknown for being the one of the most EVIL,INSIDIOUS AND GREEDY companies in the world for no reason. 2) If you check the small print from the agreement you signed to when buying your iPhone you will find that unlocking the device etc ie modifying the hardware/sofware in anyway without the agreement of Apple IS ILLEGAL. 3)The iPHONE cannot be purchased via cash anonymously(brand new) from authorised retailers only A FULLY TRACEABLE(name, address etc)cash card is accepatble. Therefore whatever(due to whoever) happens to the iphone it is the original owner whose details are fully available to Apple and will face any claim/retribution/litigation from them if the legal agreement made with the orignal purchase is shown to be broken eg identification of the IMEI# active with a non-authorized network even if this is due to the non-original owner. 4) It is urban myth that the MAC OS is more resistant to malware attack that WINDOWS - its just that relatively no-one uses Mac (well thats no surprise - its like asking if people prefer to eat there own turds)so there little financial draw for the effort in even making malware specifically for Mac OS. But unless the MAC OS, on which the iPhone is based, is kept updated with patches... well basically it means while you think you are so clever with your unlocked IPhone the chance of it turning into a BRICK(for you or the now angry p!ssed off person you sold it too)sooner rather than later is high! Yes you might be able to obtain the patches but thats going to mean more research and work to keep the phone from bricking and you can be sure Apple will continue to find ways to make it difficult to do at least initially - by which time if there is a highly infectious devastating worm doing the rounds you'll just be left with a useless ugly fat sardine can (.....not that that equal s any transformation to anyone with a shred of objectivity and values substance aswell as style)

I got an iphone just after christmas 2007 ( im in uk by the way ) when my mate finally got software on how to unlock it using his laptop so at first it was like wow the all amazing iphone. There is only one thing i can say now that is good about it and its the reaction others have when u pull it out your pocket but even that is becoming less of an impact. The camera is rubbish, it doesnt have bluetooth, edge could not give u a good signal if u were floating about outside one of its satellites and do u want to record a video of a special moment or something amazing happening well hope you have a video camera with you because the iphone isnt recording anything. It is good for reading emails but if u have a life and use hotmail dont expect to be accesssing it without some messing about first. not only that but if your loading up a video from youtube which takes like 5 hours you have to keep tapping the screen to make sure the auto sleep doesn't return the screen to be ing locked because if it does you will have to load the video up all over again. you could just set it so that it doesnt do the power save feature but well then that gives you an amazing 10 hours battery life if your lucky. also dont expect any screensavers or themes which look good because unless your iphone is unlocked with summerboard then you are stuck with the theme they factory you with so rating the phone for me is 1 out of 5 im going to go get myself a nokia 6500 slide they well better than the iphone any my iphone is broken now . a weird line appeared across the screen and is gradually getting worse but dont worry its only 149 pound to get a replacement screen to put on yourself .

I'm sorry. but the people who say things like "lame attempt", "all show" "only looks good" "overpriced" are being a bit...how can i put this...blind to what is really there. Ok if you do exactly what apple and o2 want you to do like a bunch of mindless zombies, then of course its not worth it. But i would be prepared to go to an apple shop pay £269 take it home and then unlock it. Problem 1, price, solved. While unlocking it, the program i would use (i wont say what it is) would jailbreak it so that i could install apps on it. Now you have access to thousands and thousands of apps to solve things it is lacking like MMS and Video Recording. Not to mention enhanced Camera apps, games, GBA and Ps1 emulators, the ability to control a pc or mac from the iphone, VoIP, Customize the look, download videos from youtube, download music from the browser, record voice notes, go on MSN or other IM account. There are so many possibilities i would give this phone 10/5 yes thats ri ght 10 out of 5. It's absolutely awesome, the only thing wrong with it i would say is the fact that the camera isn't great. So maybe 9 out of 5. Currently there is a small addon unit being created that has GPS hardware in, and an external Camera is in the making so goodbye to those problems. Also, the second generation iphone will probably have 3G but i had a 3G handset and didn't use the 3G function once.

Being someone who hae used many phones, I expected a lot from the iPhone. For its price it is limited - the alternative phones that your review propose similar storage capacities (N81/N95 8 GB), much more software (Symbian), longer battery life (N81), a camera which at least has flash. And sorry guys, I dont want to surf on the excellent iphone browser at WAP speed. Apple, dont use your 'i' name to steal our cash - improve those specs underneath that glassbox, and stop being a pain for 3rd party software developers. If you are at least honest, price this weak phone for its true worth and work on a better version

Why is everyone slagging off the iPhone?? Are they just jealous that they can't afford one?? Apple aren't going to attempt to make their first ever phone loaded with every piece of technology out and they have made a fantastic job out of it. The next model will be much better with 3G and a 5mp camera etc.... Well done Apple and good luck to the future.

A couple of points raised here 1 Phillip James Harriot-son - All manufacturers bring out a produce then update it, look around you from your sky box to your mobile, to digital cameras, its technology developing this is what business is about 2 Will- you cannot take the battery out so the the guy in carphone warehouse didnt know what he was on about or you made the whole thing up. I challenge anybody not to like it Ive had my Iphone for 3 months now, its great, its unlocked to orange, i can send and recieve MMS, forward SMS, it does everything any other mobile does, goto the carphone warehouse and try one,then buy one, unlock it and enjoy.

Clearly the phone has flaws, and I bet everyone is thinking why on earth Apple have done this. Well i'll tell you why, MONEY. Every apple product looks great and with clever marketing everyone thinks they need the product. The first ever edition of any apple product is terrible, and has major flaws. And Apple know this, the reason this phone is so flawed is simply because Apple don't want you to buy the perfect product and then not need to buy another one. They will soon bring out another one and some of the flaws will be fixed tempting current users to maybe buy again, and also users who haven't got one to purchase. A classic example is the iPod. First the mono-chrome screen, then the colour, then video and now classic and touch! Apple will always better a product to keep making money. If the iPhone was perfect how could they bring out another version and continue making money!! This is purely a money making concept, how long till an iPhone nano, or something ridiculous. Within the next 12 months i guarantee there will be a newer version of the iPhone with many, but not all, of the flaws fixed. This is how Apple works.

I trialed one in the carphone warehouse (i was going to switch from my LG Prada phone) i switched the phone horizontal and it locked midway during screen rotate, then it wouldnt turn off unless the battery was removed (nightmare) the guy in the shop said it was a common fault once the internal memory was over half full!!! Needless to say it put me off!! And in response to hifaash the hate people have in the UK for the iPhone is mainly as its currently only on o2 (i was going to have to get mine unlocked for orange. Furthermore the touch sensitivity is much more responsive on my Prada phone which has a 2GB memory card in it, so it still stores a shed load of music and as for the new advert (facebook on your phone) anyone can do that lol I'll wait for the second gen and give it a whirl!!!

I agree with Kabir on the front that apple make things with a high price tag and how they try to make hybrids, and I also agree with his statement about getting an iPod classic or touch, and using the other money on getting a phone that can do what you need a phone to do, ie Text and call, maybe take pictures. Apple, I believe, have made a brave step forward with the iPhone and I believe it may be the wrong move to make. None the less its still a nice phone and it does do what it says, its just a bit to costly for most people's liking. I agree with the sites review on a 3 stars out of 5

Looks good but when you use its not friendly at all. Buying a sim locked phone from the States and getting it unlocked in any country is easy but the only back fall is when u try and upgrade the software the phone will behave funny and will freeze but if you buy it from France as it is the only country which was given Iphones unlocked and software upgrade no problems. The price is abit to steep for that phone.what is the Main purpose to use this phone - music,camera,texting,calls or show offs. Buy a ipod 60gb where u can have movies and music, get a normal phone with a 5megapixel camera which will serve all the requirements like the NOKIA N95 8GB.

I had a play around with it at the o2 shop and was impressed with it. Love my mobiles currently have the N95 due to upgrade this month. The biggest drawback is the price and poor camera onboard. Will be sticking with the N95 for the time being as I have the tom tom sat nav loaded, and that it serves me well. Will cancel my contract with o2 this month and wait until the prices for the iphone become more realistic. Quick calculation £329 for the phone and another £630 in contract costs, and not forgetting that you would normally be given a phone worth between £300-£400 pounds, which takes the cost of an iphone upto nearly £1300 pounds in 18 months. Not forgetting that the 32gb iphone is already planned its callled the itouch at the moment. Love my phones but think I'll sit this one out for a while.

I own an iPhone (FW 1.1.1) and i bought it from ebay for just over £300 and unlocked it (easy to do, not illegal and illeminates all comments about the iphones price as £300 for a phone + ipod in one (without the other amazing features) is amazingly good value for money!) I installed a program called "Installer" and with this i can install many many (endless) 3rd party apps which allow you to do many things such as send picture messages, pro+ camera (zoom, focus etc.) I have also found that the battery seems to last longer the more you charge it?! Dont know why but it lasts me a good couple of days and i use it heavily. You dont need to download ringtones via itunes, you can upload a ringtone to itunes, convert to AAC and then change the file extension from ".m4a" to ".m4r" and readd to library. Hardly a problem. The bluetooth sharing option seems to be the problem people have most with it i find, and if you think about it, why would apple do this? Imagine all the sales they would lose from itunes?! The camera CAN be converted to a video camera with a future software update. Bluetooth headphones are also on there way (i believe apple sell some already??) With 4G just over the horizon, why would apple choose to jump on the 3G boat? I am pretty sure that the iphone can be upgraded to enable 4G via a software update. In a nutshell, people can hate all they want. Use this phone and then use any other phone which claims to rival it at the moment. The iphone is the best by far, and has the most potential to move forward in the future without releasing new handsets. If you hate you hate, this review nor nothing will change that. At some point in the future, you will eat your words because this phone is the future.
