  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.

  Review Summary: I had this iPhone for 2 years and it worked out well for me. It's network speed is not as advanced as the iPhone 4s but it still does the job and it worked for me. The body of the phone is slightly thicker at its center than its predecessor, although...

  Review Summary: GarageBand's downsizing will strike a chord with mobile musical maestros and rhythmically-challenged rookies alike

  The Verdict: This second incarnation of GarageBand on iOS lets iPhone and iPod Touch users get in on the mobile music action. While undoubtedly better on the iPad's larger screen (the first-gen GarageBand for iPa

  Review Summary: At a glance, the iPod touch 3G has barely evolved from the second gen media player: the frame and screen are almost identical, and what on earth happened to that camera we wanted? In truth though, there's a lot more going on under the bonnet this time...

  Review Summary: Since the business world today still clings to the relic of eras past known as the business card, and since tapping in those details can be a bit painful, several apps exist to scan cards in with the iPhone 3GS's camera. Lex Friedman looks at a quartet...

  The Verdict: With all of these apps, the quality of the photo you take directly impacts how well the software can recognize the text on the business card. In each app, you’ll want to get as close to the card as you can without it getting blurry, hold the iPhone...

  Review Summary: In our round-up of mobile bill tracking apps, both BillMinder and BillTracker are very good options with features that some users may find more appealing than others. But in Ben Boychuk's estimation, BillMinder enjoys an edge over the competition.

  The Verdict: And the best way for an application to remind you of anything is with push notifications. If a reminder app lacks that one feature, the rest is essentially window dressing

  Review Summary: MMS (not for the iPhone Edge), copy/cut/paste (well thought-out and precise), full keyboard in landscape mode for all applications, search function for all content (very practical and accessible), modem function, Find My Phone application (only if you...

  The Verdict: While the iPhone 3G was lacking in some aspects, the 3G S combined with the 3.0 iPhone OS gives greater satisfaction. The iPhone 3G S is quite simply the no. 1 general consumer oriented multimedia touch phone. Apple is now that little bit further ahead...

  Review Summary: We review Apple's long-awaited 3G iPhone with fast web surfing and built-in GPS. Is it better than the original, or has Apple ruined the iPhone concept?

  The Verdict: The impaired battery life is a downer - but no worse than other 3G smartphones. Otherwise the bar that Appla has set has just been raised another few notches. A truly amazing product.
