The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

Due to be released later in July is a mobile phone that looks set to become the crown jewel of O2's product range. But can it really be as good as people say? C an the Apple iPhone 3G really beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - why is it so good?
At the start of June, an announcement was made that made fans of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go bonkers with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone was released, and now, the newest iteration was let out of the bag. It's set to be unleashed on the world, on O2, in July. But how is this new Apple iPhone 3G better than other mobile phones? Well, first thing... it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the coolest features and awesome functions are there for you, quite literally, at your fingertips. And you'll be flicking through menus with glee, very quickly, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second device in the history of mobile phones to be built on top of the amazingly intuitive Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone came before it, and that was the original iPhone.
You may remember that there was a lot of criticism levelled at the original iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, people said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And then, in spite of the amazing interface, they were correct. Other mobile phones COULD outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be harder to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The big thing that was missing from the first iPhone was 3G, and that was where other, more well-known mobile phones won hands down. That's not a problem now, though, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name implies, joins the world of mobile phones that HAVE got 3G. And crikey is it fast, as it uses HSDPA, letting you connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you have GPS, and we should all understand how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is it really that good?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really a brave new world for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? Well, it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies to most mobile phones, in the case of the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being called the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll see that in that particular field it's mediocre at best, and at worst, total rubbish. In the current world of mobile phones with cameras included, that's unforgivable. So, if it's not perfect, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Simple, it's because the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2, has provoked other mobile phones to improve their offerings. So, people like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really battling to make up ground, and take on this challenger. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is making people make even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
