CNET Asia Review

By Marguerite Reardon
Jul 11, 2008

Excellent

8.3

out of 10

The good: Offers critical new features including support for high-speed 3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded email; improved call quality is improved; continues to deliver an excellent music and video experience.

The bad: Continues to lack some basic features that are available on even the simplest cell phone; also, we prefer the original iPhone's design.

The bottom line: The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper performance. The iTunes Apps Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. We still have a few gripes, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

Solid body, Stunning display and graphics

Dec 21, 2009

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Amazing Touch Interface, Doesnot Hang, Good Call Quality, User Friendly Apps
Cons: Apple monopoly, No themes, Ringtone, Cannot Customize
Opinion:
Im a strong Windows lover and stuck to windows mobile untill now, but after long wait for some most needed improvements, switched to iphone 3g only now, Nice feel to hold the solid body, great touch screen and application interface,docuemnt viewer supports most docs, easy to fetch ur exchagne mail,pop3, good call clarity. But after using windows mobile for too long, after one day of digging my phone, felt it so hollow, nothing much to customize, no themes, even after a long process and reading forums managed to use a song as Ringtone, but only 30sec is wat u can add. bad i cannot use external memory.
Sometimes do feel, the body design is aging and doesnt look out of the blue or trendy anymore. But reliable for the price of a hand and leg :))Well the 3GS needs a kidney too.
