Affordable, it is the one word no one has used to describe iPhones in the tons attention it has received. However on top of all the new features, and they are impressive, the price has dropped on the iPhone 3g to a starting price of $199 according to Apples website. One thing to watch out for is the the dock isn’t included with it like the original iPhone they are charging $30 for the the dock which is a huge bummer in my opinion.
Call Quality
The new iPhone 3g makes impressively clear calls. You might not notice it by itself but, side by side tests showed a big difference.
Battery Life
Apple states the iPhone 3G’s battery life is at: 10 / 5 hours talk on GSM / 3G (respectively), 5 hours 3G data, 6 hours WiFi, 24 hours music and 7 hours video. The test reports I have seen prove this out.
Refinements
The earphone connector is now flush with the device, this allows any headphones to work without an adapter. The GPS very fast for a phone and you could even use it to replace a car mounted service.
In Conclusion:
For the money, you’re going to have a hard time finding a better device for two hundred bucks, so if you are in the market for a new smart phone take a look at the new iPhone 3g.
