I had always wanted an iPhone and I love it! I find the large selection of apps really good and there are so many free and others very reasonably priced. My phone is never far from my side..much to my hubbies dismay! I use it for social networking and email and rarely have problems unless the reception is particularly bad. It has a great camera and allows you to edit photos on the phone. It is also easy to take picture of the screenshot.

The iPhone is certainly a very nice handset, one of the best out there, and nothing beats it. In my opinion, for Internet presentation and use, especially with its vary high quality screen. Two cons that I have are that although it has blue tooth built in, it only allows you to use blue tooth to connect. For example, a hands free headset; it does not allow you to use blue tooth to transfer files from one handset to another which seems a step back in technology considering what else it can do, also the very poor battery life. Hopefully Apple will address both these issues.

The iPhone 4 is an excellent piece of kit. Anyone who is a fan of Apple will love this phone. It does everything an iPod Touch can do, with the added extra of the phone functionality. I own a 16GB model and is has just enough space on it to store my favourite tracks, photos, and apps. New features such as Twitter incorporation with the iOS 5 update make social networking a complete breeze. Only downside is the battery life, it's very short if you use it daily. I usually charge it at least once a day, sometimes more if I've used it a lot. Also the camera isn't great, even though it's a 5mp resolution. Works well outside in good lighting, but inside it struggles. I think this is mainly down to the very small lens. Overall, it's a great phone and will last me well for my 2 year contract.

The phone has solid build quality and wide variety of accessories available. It is very easy to use and there are extensive help apps to get the very most out of it. List of apps for the phone is incredible, there are apps for just about anything and a very large number of free apps. The camera on the phone is low resolution compared to many phones, but is adequate for facebook etc, small size quicker uploads. Kept my old phone just for camera. Video phone is fun, if your mates have the same. Internet access is fast, and you do not have to use the supplied browser. Make sure you get model with more memory than you think you need as you can not add memory or change a card. Do find the battery drains quicker than other phones I've had. You can help this by turning items off easily. I get round this by using a case/power pack from Tekkeon, but it does reduce the signal slightly - only noticable in poor signal areas. I do need the extra power, as I am finding more and more of the apps are worthwhile.

Great phone, with tons of functionality, theres an app for virtually everything.

After a year of fairly heavy use the battery was managing to last for around half a day, luckily i bought applecare for around £40 i think, which meant i got a free replacement battery installed at Apple's expense.

The great thing about the product is there are literally hundreds of products that are compatible with it hardware-wise, such as cases, external batteries and the like. I've recently bought an additional Mophie battery which has extended battery life through to around a 2 days even with a couple of hours worth of calls.

Was initially concerned when the phone was originally released about the reported reception problems, there do not appear to be any in the UK, but... after a recent trip to the US i can see where the reliability reports came from.

The iPhone 4 is one of many mobile phones I have owned. It is easy to use and doesn't take long to learn even some of the more advanced areas of the phone. Is very adaptable and with a wide range of features and applications, can be personalised to your specific needs. Personally I am in the military and travel a lot so the iPhone is perfect for me as it holds all my music as well as holding movies, TV shows and games to keep me entertained whilst I'm away from home. The only problem I have found so far is the battery life, its better than all the other phones I have owned. On a normal working day I only using it as a phone, its great will last the whole day and wont even use half the battery. But if I use it to its full potential I find I have to charge it up after 4 hours but it only takes 20-30mins to fully charge anyway so its not the biggest problem for what I get from the phone. I would recommend the iPhone to anyone, it has a wide range of uses and can be used for anything from entertainment to keeping on top of work on the move, its a great phone.
