Review - iPhone 3G - Part 1

iPhone 3G is a simple name, almost ordinary, which follows Apple’s line which is used in many of their hardware and software products. Yet, it’s undeniable, even upon the first look, that the lack of originality ends with the name. Whoever had the opportunity to see this first generation phone, probably had the feeling of having something unusual on their hands. Apple’s old motto, “Think Different”, has maybe found its best meaning on this new Apple device. Whether that makes it better or worse than what we’re used to is another issue, but it is impossible not to notice how different the iPhone is already upon turning it on.

The biggest strength on the iPhone is right here, according to Apple: it catches the user’s attention upon the first look, even of those users that do not follow the technology world, because the first thing they will notice is the lack of a numeric keyboard. Or, at least, of a traditional-style keyboard. This review will be dealing, with the required attention, all the aspects and features that make this particular cellphone so popular, and clear up what are its strong and weak points. But, one thing is clear, the iPhone does not accept double standards: either the user will love it for its originality, or hate it for the lack of some features that is in fact hard to comprehend.

We’ll see why in the following posts.
