The Apple iPhone 3G - O2 launch another winner!

Due out later in July is a mobile phone that looks set to be the crown jewel of O2's product range. But can it really be that good? Is the Apple iPhone 3G the one that will beat all other mobile phones?
Apple iPhone 3G - why is it so good?
On June 9th, an announcement was made that made lovers of mobile phones and Apple lovers in particular, go gaga with excitement. It'd been nearly a year since the first iPhone had been released, and now, the newest evolution had just been announced. It's due to be released, on O2, in July. But how is this new Apple iPhone 3G better than other mobile phones? Well, first thing... it has an awesome 3.5 inch touchscreen, meaning that all the coolest features and powerful functions are available, quite literally, at your fingertips. And you'll be flicking through menus with glee, very quickly, as the Apple iPhone 3G is the second handset in the world of mobile phones to be built around the amazingly easy to use Apple OS-X. Only one other mobile phone can say that, and that was the first iPhone.
You may remember that there was a certain amount of criticism aimed at the first iPhone. Other mobile phones can outclass it, they said, other mobile phones are more powerful. And then, in spite of the beautiful interface, they were bang on the money. Other mobile phones COULD outperform the iPhone, although, that's will be a lot more difficult to do with the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2. The main thing that the first iPhone didn't have was 3G, and that was where other, more established mobile phones beat it. That's not a problem now, though, because the Apple iPhone 3G, as the name implies, is now one of the mobile phones that DO have 3G. And crikey is it fast, because it uses HSDPA, allowing you to connect to the web at up to 3Mbps. As well as that, you have GPS, and we should all understand how useful and invaluable that is!
Apple iPhone 3G - is it REALLY the future?
Once we get past the hype, is the Apple iPhone 3G really the new hope for mobile phones? Is it ACTUALLY that important? I say it is, but it might not be in the way you suspect...
You see, the Apple iPhone 3G is, similar to its forerunner, flawed. It's not perfect, and whilst that applies to most mobile phones, with the Apple iPhone 3G, it's being hyped up as the ultimate phone. However, if you choose just ONE feature, the camera, you'll realise that in that specific field it's mediocre at best, and at worst, total rubbish. In the present world of mobile phones with cameras included, that's unforgivable. With that in mind, if it's flawed, why is the Apple iPhone 3G so important? Well, it's simply because the Apple iPhone 3G, coming soon on O2, has forced other mobile phones to up their game. So, manufacturers like Nokia and Sony Ericsson are really battling to make up ground, and take the fight to this usurper. That's why it's important: the Apple iPhone 3G is making manufacturers make even more powerful mobile phones, and hey, that's got to be a good thing for us, hasn't it!
