Hi All,
Recently i purchased the shiny new Apple iPhone 3G on the o2 network and i have to say it is simply fantastic.
Above: The Apple iPhone 3G
Not everything is all smiles and charm though, as with everything there are a few bugs and annoying features of the phone.
First Annoying feature is with the SMS system on the phone. The iphone has an annoying feature of grouping all the SMS's you get from each contact under their name instead of individually listing each message. Therefore you cannot delete just one message you must delete all messasges received from that contact. Also you cannot forward on a message to another friend as you could with a conventional mobile phone, with an iPhone you must type the message again yourself (even a copy paste function would work well here.)
The second feature is the lack of good wifi and 3g signal strength if you are not in a major city or town.
Apart from that *thumbs up* to the ipod and email features also the app store is very good and can be really fast at downloading things even from the phone as opposed to using itunes on the computer.
I would say if you use your phone alot for txting this is probably not the best phone for you, but if you like to call, organise and utilise internet and email on your phone this is definetly the phone for you.
