THE GOOD
The Apple iPhone 3G offers critical new features including support for high-speed 3G networks, third-party applications, and expanded e-mail. Its call quality is improved and it continues to deliver an excellent music and video experience.

THE BAD
The iPhone 3G continues to lack some basic features that are available on even the simplest cell phone. Battery life was uneven, and the 3G connection tended to be shaky. Also, the e-mail syncing is not without its faults.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The iPhone 3G delivers on its promises by adding critical features and sharper call quality. The iTunes App Store is pretty amazing, and the 3G support is more than welcome. Critical features still are missing, and the battery depletes quickly under heavy use, but the iPhone 3G is a big improvement over the original model.

    The Exchange ActiveSync compatibility is a great bonus and makes it easier for corporations to give users a desirable, reliable email device - let's face it Windows Mobile isn't great and Blackberry is too IO heavy on Exchange servers and incurs exp...  read more »
