With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again.
Definitely "The" most wanted device of this year, theres a lot to look forward to. The multi touch navigation is intuitive and makes the phone a great deal of fun.
The display is absolutely hypnotic with crystal clear resolution and good coloring.
The iPhone 3G does not have instant messaging or office apps, but what it does have it has the best of.

The iPhone 3G does not have instant messaging or office apps, but what it does have it has the best of.
A great deal like the first iphone, this one combines a mobile phone, with an Ipod, internet capabilities and adds in a few other functions, such as the 3G support (UMTS/HSDPA - 850, 1900, 2100 MHz) along with its GPS functions.
The iPhone 3G display has the same 3.5 inch display that you’re accustomed to, and offers you 320x480 resolution at 163 ppi, however it offers you a slightly higher quality, thicker case, which features one of either a black or awhite plastic back instead of the original aluminum that it sported.
Including either 8 GB or 16 GB of storage ( You can only buy the white model with 16 GB), it also offers support for Wi-Fi, for Bluetooth, and gives you 2.0 megapixel camera as well that supports what they term "geotagging".
In original reports, Apple states that the iPhone 3G will give you up to 24 hours of play time when in audio, 10 hours of talking time when using the 2G, 5 hours of talking time when using 3G and 6 uninterrupted hours of WiFi internet use.
The Same iPhone 3G will permit you to have about 7 hours of video playback or else close to 300 hours of standby time.
The iPhone 3G offers the same interface as its original model, multi touch, ambient lighting and proximity sensoring although the proximity sensors are now two in number as opposed to the original one.

Apple iPhone 3G (16GB, White, Refurbished)
Reviewer: CNET1 week ago- Overall 8
The bottom line: The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model. Read more

Apple’s release of the iPhone 3G was a response to many of the fallbacks from the first generation iPhone. Many little bugs and user requested applications have been added to the iPhone 3G making it even more functional and user-friendly than its predecessor. The new generation is only 0.7mm thicker than the old one, considering the hefty upgrades on the hardware – not to mention, it is actually 2 grams lighter. With the new iPhone 3G, Apple managed to keep the... Read more

Are iPhone 3Gs developing cracks?
Reviewer: engadget10 December 2008In what appears to be an increasingly common problem, hairline cracks are beginning to form on Apple's new iPhone 3G. While most of the cracks are reportedly affecting the white model, this is likely due to the increased visibility of the dark fracture on the white case as opposed to any differences in materials between the white and black units. At the moment, the issue seems largely cosmetic and doesn't appear to interfere with the operation of the phone. Now bust out... Read more

The iPhone 3G is the next iteration of Apple's immensely popular and iconic cell phone. In one short year it's managed to have a serious impact on the industry and with the iPhone 3G going global that's only going to get bigger. There are two big questions that we asked ourselves when writing this review, how good is the iPhone 3G all by itself, and how big an upgrade is it over the original iPhone? Let's start with the first question, the answer is that the iPhone 3G is... Read more

Apple Gold 3G iPhone
Reviewer: Wired24 November 2008This bullion beauty is the most decadent iPhone add-on since the $1,000 I Am Rich app. For two Gs, you can dress your 3G in a deliciously crass case that packs more karats than Bugs Bunny's lunch box (24 to be exact). But there's more to it than just dipping your mobile in molten shine like broccoli in Velveeta. Custom electronics maker Computer Choppers first coats the original plastic case in copper to patch any dings, then nickel-plates it to keep the copper from... Read more

"Great... when it's not crashing"
Reviewer: CNET2 weeks agoI got my iPhone 3G last October and immediately had to have it replaced because of a technical problem. The phone wasn?t recognizing my SIM card and wouldn?t recognize a new SIM card either. The Apple Store promptly replaced the phone. Great, right? Everything worked beautifully. I have been so happy with the way this phone works ? all the apps, the iTunes interface, the simplicity of the design. Everything. I have routinely said ?I heart my iPhone.? However, that same...

Way to Go
Reviewer: gt1948, Phone Scoop04 May 2009- Overall 10
Has been a great phone since I bought the first Gen model in 2007. Looking foward to the new model due this year? I have had flawless service from both Apple and ATT. I have read all the gripes about drop calls from ATT but have not experienced that here in West Tennessee. I ahve also traveled to Ark, Mo., Ms., and throughout Tenn. and have experienced great reception. The keyboard is easy for me to use ( not a big texter) and I love the syncing capability with my home... Read more
