I haven't got one myself but they look highly clever, and smart. Tried on my friends and the ease of use is very impressive. Battery life isn't so good, but still good. If you don't want to be able to be on it 24:7 then this is the perfect phone for you! Hoping to get mine at the weekend!!

Have used both iPhone 3G and 3GS, I find them to be an awesome fashion accessory for the Apple crowd, which I am happily not one of!

Although its a superb design, the platform is stifled by the nannying application committee who don't allow any app they don't approve of to be used on it!

I personally have a Samsung i8910hd which I have chock full of wonderful Symbian apps, which are mainly freely available.

The hardware is far superior to Apples old hat 3GS, I have an 8 MP camera, with 720p HD video recording,a flash (where is that on the iPhone?), removable battery, and memory card expansion slot. Mine will soon be filled with a 33gb card when they are released next month!

All in all, the iPhone is for posers, I prefer proper technology personally!

iphone 8/10, Samsung 10/10!

I like the iPhone, but wonder where the future innovation will come from in user interface, I don't want this locked down OS to become the de facto standard.

The current king of mobile phones. The battery life could be better and the software is due an update but the iPhone still leads the pack. Stunning phone.

There are only a few improvements from the iPhone 3G. However, I do like the increased functionality and certain recommend, even current iPhone 3G users, to purchase the 16Gb version. There is no phone but iPhone! ;-)

It's the best of the touch screen phones I've used. Best thing about the iPhone is all the apps you can get and most of them are free.

No unnecessary QWERTY keyboard to weigh you down.

This new release of the iPhone is a huge improvement on an already brilliant phone. The apps are great, the usability is great (my nan could use it, honestly!) and it looks sleek and super-cool. Two thumbs up for the iPhone!

As well as the features above, other attention-grabbing aspects of the iPhone 3G S include a brilliant digital compass to make navigation easy no matter how unfamiliar your location and copy and paste to make word processing on the handset immeasurably easier.

As you might expect, the iPhone 3G S has been showered in superlatives by reviewers. Cnet in particular praised its video and music functionality as well as the support it offers for an amazing array of third-party applications.
