  • well.....the 2mg camera actually works better than the one I tested on the LG Viewty (5Mg) - it does lovely pictures although it does have a bit of trouble in low light. However, what we musn't lose sight of is the unlimited data download as part of the package, the best touch screen by far, the fact that it really is a Mac in your pocket (good for those of us who use Mac - PC users will always gripe), and the fact that it is not only a brilliantly easy thing to use, but it is actually great fun and something you will spend hours on just playing around with. As far as I'm concerned, and yes I have had the latest phones from a variety of suppliers, and no I'm not anti PC - I find both Mac & PC very useful for particular things thank you - this is something that raises the bar so high for other manufacturers that it will take a giant leap for them to catch up. And don't forget, all you naysayers about video on your phones etc, that this is a phone first and foremost. We all have digital cameras that do video a hundred times better than our phones can, and most of the time we carry them around with us. This is a very good piece of technology, and just because its made by Mac doesn't mean it is the work of the devil, all you Microsoft fanboys and girls. Borrow a friends iPhone, understand that if you want a BlackBerry get one, and just lose yourself in the most amazing gadget that is so much more than a phone. It really is great........

  • It is the properly the best music mobile now. It is also the perfect combination of phone, ipod and desktop class web browser. in fact it actually helps a lot with problem we used to face when using internet by phone. although the camera is not so good but it is not its major function. I got one from ikit.net and i believe it is the best price on internet. share with you guys: http://www.ikit.net/apple-iphone-3g/apple-iphone-3g-white-16gb-uk-free-shippingany-network-p-2922.html Posted by shutternut, HK
  • I love the aroundme app, best thing since sliced bread, incorporates google maps and GPS to find the nearest restaurant, bar, gas/petrol station, taxi's etc
    marvelous, no more stumbling around on a saturday night hailing a cab in an unknown town, just find the closest cab office and ring them or use the directions option to get you there
