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!
