But when you throw the iPhone 3G in the mix, it’s gets pretty difficult. A lot of early criticisms surrounding the original iPhone have been addressed. Corporate email, 3G, GPS, price, 3rd party applications, and so on. The honest truth is that if we had to use only one of the two devices, we’d be happy enough with...

The $199 (or $299, or $399, or $499) question is: is it worth it? As usual, the answer is "it depends." If youre using some old, crappy cell phone, youre looking for something new, and youre not allergic to AT&T, then go for it. Do it now. Well, may...

With its faster networking, GPS for location-based services and, best of all, the App Store, Apple takes a significant step forward with the iPhone 3G as a consumer-centric device. This phone is special, and though its not for everyone (hardware key...

3G. True GPS. App Store adds hundreds of third-party programs. Voice quality is much improved from the original iPhone. No more recessed headphone jack. Surprisingly good battery life.
An unknown number of buggy units have been released. Still missing video recording, voice dialing, stereo Bluetooth support, picture messaging, and document editing. Earbuds are still lousy.
The iPhone 3G represents the birth of a new computing platform. Its also one very cool phone. While its not perfect, it makes other options on AT&T look tired...
