No video-recording support
No built-in voice dialing
Limited Bluetooth functionality

Cut
Copy and paste
Apple may have rectified the recessing 3.5mm headphone socket with a standard jack
So you can plug in some decent cans
But they ignored our pleas for a better camera. Why change the rest then stick with the two-megapixel camera
Eh Apple?
Can’t render Flash content
No video recording or MMS
Poor battery life
Battery life typically smartphone-poor GPS functionality not quite there yet Texting still needs work Camera remains poor
Battery life worse than predecessor
Camera still lags way behind rivals
Plastic case feels less solid
Downloading time
Poor battery life with 3G switched on
Doesnt play Flash
Camera could be better/ no video
No copy paste possibility
Bluetooth flexibility
Still limited to O2
Some will be disappointed that the camera hasn't been improved
Will undoubtedly lose some chicappeal as it becomes inevitably ubiquitous

If you’ve been cautious and waited a year for the second generation of iPhone, your patience will be rewarded. The iPhone 3G improves on the original iPhone’s audio quality, offers access to a faster data network, and sports built-in GPS funct...
The iPhone is still a lovely object, and the latest incarnation with 3G, AGPS and push email at least brings the spec up to offer a decent comparison with the best Windows Mobile and Symbian smartphones. But failure to keep up with some of the basics ...

The iPhone 3G corrected most of the most glaring flaws in Apple’s first-gen handset, including the slow data speeds and dodgy headphone jack. It’s an excellent device and the App Store makes it one of our favourite phones ever. Despite a few annoying o...
