iPhone 3G Review

Short Description
Following the huge success of the first iPhone, Apple decided to raise the stakes a little bit and upgrade its flagship smartphone. In fact, the decision was more of a ‘must’, as the old iPhone was falling behind technologically. Rivals such as Nokia and HTC already had most of their high-end devices with full HSDPA support, which is one of the most important features that a smartphone should include these days. Besides, another image boost couldn’t hurt the Cupertino-based company. Faithful to its conservative ways, but also determined to keep the interest of the market up high, Apple decided to keep the name of the old but successful smartphone, but add a small abbreviation - 3G. This is how the new iPhone 3G was born, in a moment when Apple’s sales for the EDGE version of the iPhone were still high. Thanks to the guys over at PureMobile, we had the chance to test iPhone 3G and see how much the basic version of the smartphone had been improved.

Even though it’s a little bit bigger, the 3G version is 2g lighter than its predecessor (133g including battery). I think this is because of the back cover of the phone, which is now made of light plastic. The same metallic frame encircles the smartphone’s huge display. The rounded edges and the aerodynamic shape of the phone feel great to the touch. The back hood is made of a very well-polished plastic that is a real fingerprint magnet. Still, if you own the White version of the phone, that won’t be noticed too much. The front part is almost entirely seized by the incredible 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen.
