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

Abstract: 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..
Even days after originally getting the iPhone 3G I still wasn’t sure whether or not I actually liked it. Many of the features that shipped with the iPhone 3G were also given to the original iPhone courtesy of the 2.0 firmware update. The inclusion o...
Abstract: Just twelve months ago, Apple launched the iPhone, a $499 Internet-enabled mobile phone. A lot has happened in the ensuing year. Apple lowered the price and brought it to countries outside the US. Hackers analyzed iPhones software and learned how ...
Abstract: The 3G network access and GPS arent the only things Apple has added to better its iPhone. The App Store has opened the door to a plethora of possible applications. Still, theres room for improvement, as the iPhone 3G still doesnt have some features...
Abstract: After waiting in line for what seemed like an eternity, we finally got home with our shiny new iPhones 3G. Meanwhile, we had time to peruse all the other rah-rah, hand-picked reviewers fawning all over Apple’s new baby, and wondered if any device could...
Abstract: Just like last year I waited in line for the iPhone. This time, though, the experience was wrought with server crashes and other issues which left me not only standing in line for longer than I had planned, but also going almost an entire day with a br...
