The editors didn't like
Low-quality camera
No video-recording support
No built-in voice dialing
Limited Bluetooth functionality
No support for text selection
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
Integrated GPS, excellent browser, very easy to use, massive potential expandability, iTunes integration.
Limited GPS, camera is ordinary, no MMS, no Flash support in browser, no A2DP audio.

Multi-touch navigation, HSDPA bandwidth, Exchange and MobileMe support
Poor GPS implementation, no physical keyboard, poor battery life
The iPhone 3G improves on its predecessor, refining its strengths and eliminating some of its flaws. On the way, however, it picked up a few more flaws. Exchange and MobileMe support are appealing, but poor battery life and substandard GPS implementat...
3G, WiFi and GPS, Outstanding Safari browser and email, iPod app is great, App Store is best of its kind
No navigation software, Dismal camera app, Disappointing battery life, Counterintuitive menus and settings
Parts of the iPhone 3G are superb -- Web browsing, email, App Store, GPS -- but these are met in equal measure by elements which are either absent or mediocre. When we use the iPhone 3G, we cant ignore the vast divide between what the iPhone is and w...
