For the first six months of usage the phone was fine, after then if the phone got to hot from being charged or being used the phone itself would freeze sometimes lasting 2-3 days. Endless calls to Apple didn't work, neither did being able to reset or... more »

It is a useful phone for apps and such but battery life is just too short. Useful for texts and calls. If the battery goes flat overnight it won't even attempt to play the alarm tone - warning! The Internet is also very slow if you don't have wireles... more »

The good things about the iPhone 3g is that is it simple to use, it is stylish, the applications, so it is good as a phone and for entertainment, and it has never crashed in the 2 years I've used it. I also love the touch screen facility. The bad thi... more »

This is the first smart phone I have ever owned and I love it. Yes, there are upgraded versions around now, but I feel no need to upgrade as my iPhone 3g does everything I need it to and more. It does the basics of making a call and texting, but it i... more »

I find the iPhone to be the best phone I have owned for usability and features. It is my life in one item. I use it as a phone, for email, a camera, diary, killing time, playing games (there are many addictive games and apps to download) and a phrase... more »

The iPhone 3G was good for its time. But as phones get increasingly faster, we soon realise that actually, it is quite sluggish, it's not terrible, but it's still just below average in terms of performance. Battery life is what you'd expect, if you'r... more »

I have had this phone for over two years and it is a reliable, easy to use phone that has all the basic of a modern phone encased in Apple's excellent design, although I have heard of phone calls dropping or cutting out- this has not happened to me. ... more »

After all the hype in the media I finally decided to get in the 21st century with an Apple iPhone! Yes it looks great and is a cool 'status symbol' or whatever but about 90% of it I never use and never will! So many pointless app's and tools etc. I... more »

I couldn't live without this phone and it's apps. Apart from the obvious uses I use is to navigate, to look up tube/metro journeys, to- do lists, reminders, revision and games. There are three main things that let it down: 1) Appalling battery life, ... more »

Looks great and although its the most basic of them I can't fault it. It interacts easily with your computer and syncs all the calender, contacts, email etc. The touch screen is very responsive and I thought it would be hard to operate but its easy t... more »
