In 2007, a phone was unleashed that promised to revolutionise the mobile industry, with its unique interface, a huge raft of features, and a body sleeker and sexier than just about every other mobile phone on the market. It was the iPhone, and it was beautiful. The only thing it lacked, however, was 3G. Well, Apple have only gone and added to it, making what was already a cool phone into a serious player in the mobile world. It's the next evolution; it's the awesome iPhone 3G, exclusive to O2.
The iPhone Evolved...
It should be obvious, from the name iPhone 3G, exactly what the biggest addition to this unique mobile phone is. Unlike the previous version, this new iPhone sports 3G... and not just any 3G either, because what you get here is HSDPA, meaning speeds unlike anything else, supported by the super fast network on O2. It means you'll be able to surf the web, with the iPhone 3G on O2, nearly 3 times as fast as you could with the previous version. It really is ludicrously fast! Mind you, it's ludicrously brilliant, as well, because it's not some third-party add-on web browser, tacked on as an afterthought here! What you get in the O2 iPhone 3G is their super-fast, incredibly powerful Safari browser, letting you have an internet experience unlike ANY other phone!
Think Differently
It's not just 3G that's been added, however, because the iPhone 3G on O2 now has GPS built-in, as well. That opens up a whole host of new possibilities, with the pre-installed Google Maps. Imagine walking down the street and having the iPhone 3G telling you where your nearest restaurant or pub is, in real time. It's simply awesome. Of course, as well as these new features, all the stuff that made the first iPhone great makes a return. Things like the iPod music/video player built into the phone, featuring the same level of brilliance as that first version, not to mention the awesome Cover Flow mode, giving you a visual representation of your album covers on the screen of the O2-exclusive iPhone 3G, that you can flick through with just a tiny brush of your fingertips.
That Cover Flow mode shows off one of the coolest returning features in the Apple iPhone 3G, and that is the sheer number of different sensors and technology to let the phone figure out what position it's in. We've all seen it in the first version: that interface that rotates automatically when you tilt the iPhone over, of the simulation of water on screen, that you can make move just by shaking it about. Those sensors return in the iPhone 3G, along with the massive, gorgeous touchscreen, and quite frankly, it just wouldn't be the same without them! It really is a wonder of the mobile world, and in the opinion of a lot of people, this may be the best mobile phone ever made. It's the awesome iPhone 3G, available exclusively on O2.
