Best phone ive ever owned, but theres always a catch.

by jma6788

Ive owned the 2G iphone for about 8 months now and its by far the best phone ive ever owned. having owned just about every smart phone on the market before the iphone, im pretty used to a massive amount of features, and apple didnt dissapoint. I JUST HATE AT&T (even though i work for them lmao) and aparently im not the only one!!

Pros:
Of course all the obvious;
-full, very responsive touch screen
-high resolution
-visual voice mail
-YouTube
-up to 16 gigs of internal memory
-built in ipod
-good weight and feel, very sturdy for a smart phone
-extreamly easy to navigate (user friendly)
-and the envy factor, although it gets kind of annoying, everyone wants to play with it.

Cons:
-first 6 months were amazing, last 2 have been hell
-multiple glitches
-slow internet
-fear of cataclysmic phone failure if you drop it even once
-glitchy touch screen (touching one contact, dialing another)
-inability to open and clean yourself
-updates only fixing one problem at a time
-AT&T coverage in Arizona is by far the worste ive ever used, even cricket had better coverage. (great company to work for though lol)

overall i love the phone, but hate the service. i highly recomend the iphone to anyone, but i recomend getting the 3G and updating it as much as possible. and if you live any farther west than texas, id rethink your decision to go with AT&T.

Convenient Phone

by Sliimbeauty

First off how is everyone? Fine I hope. Okay so, ihave the iPhone and personally I LOVE it!!! I read previous reviews and Im not the type to feedoff negativity from others. Some reviews of his phone is ridiculous. I'm so tired of people compliankng about the battery life. Apparently if u use the phone for long hours or surf the net or listen to music then it's obvious the battery will drain. Also people complain about what the phone DOESNT do or doesn't have. First of all if u would really get in depth about the phone before purchasin then the small things shouldn't matter. I don't think anyone who complains aboeut the little things needs this phone. Anyway let me share y I love it.....

Beautiful big bright display
Easy touch sensitivity
Great web broweser
Camera takes beautiful picutures depending on lightening
iPod is awesome
Apps easy to install

iPhone 1st in mybook with room to perfect

by saintkae

The iPhone was created for any and all types of lifestyles from a business person to like me a commuting student. The phone has more capabilities than any phone that exists plus more. The iphone isn't perfect but it's like I would say it's preety damn close. There's no big difference Between iPhone & iPhone 3g but it's name,andhigher cost in the long run because of the 3g feature fee. All in all it's the best overall still mad at myself for not obtaining this phone the day it released. Bronx ny peace!

Original iphone user

by iphone7

I think I'm going to stick with the original iPhone and not even deal with the 3G version. The 3G version is nice but, I held one in my hand and it just didn't feel right. The original may be a lot slower but, the new one has a very cheap feel to it. The one con, well maybe not one con, are the fact that niether has MMS nor can they capture video other than that no other phone can touch the iPhone and that's my word. If you don't have either yet, you're missing out on a truly amazing product, say word!!!!

Simply the best

by Akashrahi

Well to start out I'm gonna say that the iPhone is the best and later in this summary you will know why. Dont listen to people when they say iPhone sucks cause they have no idea what there're talking about... Now for the good stuff.

Pros:
*light-weight
*the best web browser.. That is how I'm making this review.
*texting is easier than anything
*edge works perfect! I'm with tmobile by the way
* its the best iPod out yet
*screen is very scrath resistant*

Cons ( I know I said its the best bit there are a few things)
• The price is too much. End of subject.
• There isn't any MMS by SMS but you can record video and send them by email and upload them onto youtube

So yea that's it. Over all best phone out. I give it ***** 5 star rating

thank you :)

Not Bad!

by flyboy1563

What else to say; this phone is almost perfect. The only things I'd ding it on are lower call volume and lack of corporate email support. Of course, my complaints should be taken care of here in about a week!

Wow!

by RS

My bf has this phone and I'm so jealous, I'm in IT so this phone is a fresh of breath air, since its built by artistic IT folks, they know what they are doing. Other "smart"phones are not that smart, most have to be rebooted, overclocked or just plain run over with the car if it doesnt work. The only thing is the keys are close together and about 90% of the time I end up typing wrong. Other than that, I love it. I'm thinking of telling my bf to go get himself another phone because I'm taking his.

So Much Potential!

by NetworkBusy

Prosl
~Gorgeous construction with the perfect size and wait in hand
~Signal strength (Northeast)
~Fully customizable homescreen, including web-apps
~Sound quality and volume are sufficient during both phonecalls and iPod useage
~Camera takes beautiful pictures that are fun to share
~Wi-fi (especially free service at Starbuck's)
~Bundled Google services such as Maps and GMail are convenient and easy to use

Cons
~Apple's proprietary ringtone system
~Messages disappearing and reappearing randomly
~AT&T and Apple's revenue sharing agreement (when I don't really need an EDGE data plan)

This phone has so much potential and future software updates should only make this device more coveted and desirable as time goes on!

Excellent Start With Much Room To Grow!

by RUFF1415

Pros
-Wonderfully fun, easy and intuitive menus
-Signal strength is on par with my past Motos aka excellent (in downtown Pittsburgh, PA and surrounding metro)
-Sound quality and volume is appropriate both during earpiece and speakerphone use
-Music quality and iPod functionality is great
-Wi-fi is a nice bonus along with full-html web browsing in Safari
-EDGE is snappy enough for bearable surfing away from wi-fi networks
-Google Maps works like a breeze and accurately triangulates location 99.9% of the time (without GPS)
-Calendar, notes, clock and weather are all useful little tools on a daily basis
-2.0mp camera takes excellent pictures in the correct lighting
-Camera roll is a fun way to share your photos
-Overall very aesthetically pleasing...not one aspect of the phone is left neglected as far as ease of use and functionality goes

Cons
-Few options to customize how the phone alerts you to calls and messages (i.e. vibrate and ring, vibrate only, silent all)
-Deleted messages (occosionally) mysteriously reappear without notice
-Alarm does not ring out loud when headphones are plugged in
-Speakerphone volume can tend to fluctuate briefly during the first few seconds of a call
-iPod feature sometimes crashes (may be my phone only)
-Power-cylcing the phone seems to boost performance after many applications have been opened
-Obvious lack of MMS, video capture and other basic features found in most phones (although did not negatively affect what the phone DOES offer)

All in all, the iPhone is so far the perfect blend of the things most important in a piece of technology of it's caliber. The phone works as a phone. The iPod works as an iPod. The organizational tools work as organizational tools. The most exciting thing about this handset is the endless potential it has with future software upgrades that add new functionality every few months, as needed!
