The new iPhone 3G. With high-speed 3G technology, Maps with GPS, support for business functions such as Microsoft Exchange and the new App Store provides you with the new iPhone 3G even more fantastic features. Just like the original iPhone it combines three products in one - a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod and a groundbreaking Internet device for e-mails in rich HTML format, and quick browsing and searching on the Internet. iPhone G3. The possibilities of the phone - again redefined.

No question, the new Apple iPhone 3G is currently the coolest mobile lifestyle on the market: It provides piano with his noble appearance, using the intuitive Multi-Touch screen-to-use graphical user interface is simply innovative and beautiful, the mobile Internet convenient and quick access to iPod's function with the current models of the popular Cover Flow display offers an excellent sound and additional features such as A-GPS positioning are awesome.

Compared with the first generation of the device suggest the ability UMTS (3G) and GPS functionality to this. Of course, there is an organizer, a calculator, WLAN and Bluetooth. E-mails and text messages on a virtual typewriter keyboard drafted, but after some letters word suggestions are offered and learn about the iPhone. Although it is used up because of the new GPS antenna in all dimensions by about 1 mm in size gained, is the iPhone 3G about 3 grams lighter than its predecessor. This should mainly be due to the rear is made of plastic instead of metal, which, however, the reception characteristics to be improved. Using motion sensor detects the device, whether it is held horizontally or vertically and adjusts the display in the display accordingly.

Another sensor can adjust the brightness of the display to the ambient brightness and adjust the display on the phone at the ear, which both saves electricity. The delivery includes a USB adapter cable with a stereo headset with integrated microphone and a cleaning cloth. On receipt of a call to stop the music playback automatically and after the conversation continued. The sound quality for music playback with the included headset is very good. But in the best musical enjoyment to come, it is useful in high-quality headphones to invest.

As a quad-band mobile handy should you anywhere in the world with the iPhone 3G in all networks to be well underway. The voice quality is mainly in the UMTS network perfectly. The built-in speaker has been improved significantly, resulting mainly from activation of the free function in full swing.

New is also Apple's own App Store, with new programs on the iPhone can be loaded. These are either directly loaded on the phone or via iTunes installed and are partly free.

The real genius in the iPhone 3G is the reduced to the essential operation of the fast graphical operating system. Here it has its strengths compared to all others, otherwise perhaps technically slightly superior mobile phones: no Hangeln through complex menus with submenus, almost everything is opening up intuitively. The manual is somewhat slim. Who wants to, but can be a detailed manual in the form of a PDF file from Apple's download site.

However, some of the known weaknesses remain: How has the iPhone 3G still only have a 2-megapixel camera and no MMS and no dictation or to record videos. Some non-default functions can be considered as additional programs on the App Store installed weren (eg dictaphone). In my view, lacking any vital functions. For photography I prefer anyway a (digital) camera and images can I do with the iPhone via e-mail, which is cheaper than MMS. The picture quality is for a 2-megapixel camera well, sometimes better than some 5-megapixel phones.

Sorely missed, however, audio profiles to the phone such as a quiet or noisy environment. There is only a mute button, and you can turn off the vibrating alert. Even memory is not possible. However, 16 GB for most users enough: In addition to the software, for example, space for up to 3,500 songs. What is still missing is an infrared interface. The battery can only be replaced by Apple. And the Bluetooth function can practically only be appropriate to connect a headset.

The battery has excessive Internet or MP3 player using only a relatively short standby time of up to one day, which, however, for example, by disabling the 3G functionality and other functions not required permanently increase. According to the manufacturer, the stand-by time at 300 hours, the mere talk for 300 minutes, what a smartphone acceptable values.

Overall, can the iPhone 3G as a genial-to-use multimedia mobile phone fully recommend. It is despite all the deficiencies raised the bar in this field. For the next firmware update would be a copy / paste option, an optimization of power consumption and an expansion of the Bluetooth features wish.
