Apple iPhone Candy Bar Touchscreen mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Beautiful as you might expect from Apple. Pretty easy to use. The absence of physical buttons is not a problem affter 48 hours familiarisation. Ipod sound quality is excellent. Useful feature keeps a trail of a text message conversation.

- Battery life is too short. Capacity of 16GB limits the amount of music one can carry with you, If this had 32GB of memory it would replace the iPod for 90% of people. Calendar and alerts system is less flexible than other phones. The worst feature is that, when playing back voicemail messages through the speaker, it is very hard to hear.

+ Great look and feel. Fantastic music player

- Software is a little slow. Battery life could be better. Cannot bring my contacts from my old phone via the sim card - had to enter them all over again

+ safari-great web browser.
google maps -good

- earphone does not fit into auxilarry jack- no hands free headset
no gps

- Bluetooth does not work. It freezes now and again. Cannot assign your own ringtones amongst other annoyances.

+ brilliant and easy to use, email, brouser apps contacts everything just spot on for me

+ Design is fabulous. Features are well implemented and very intuitive

- Errors in calendar sync and lack of a task manager or secure password manager

+ Perfect Interface, Design, Ease of Use

- No MMS
Needs more Memory
No 3G

+ Easy to use, great screen, good memory, links perfectly with a MAC, easy to add contacts etc.

- Does not synch with windows programs easily.

+ The overall features of the phone are excellent. It's a simple design and easy to use. The navigation tool is pretty handy and have often used it. The WiFi is amazing! Installation of other tools is pretty straight forward and there is a great amount to install. I no longer need to carry my ipod with me as most of my music is now stored on the phone. It's a slim, sleek intelligent phone with great picture quality.

- The phone does freeze on me from time to time. Sometimes if I'm in a call, it will suddenly hang up which when happens, happens constantly. On several occassions I've had to switch the phone off when it all jams up.
The battery life isn't good but I wouldn't expect it to be. Sometimes the sound dissapears and I can't hear anything when listening to music.

+ Ease of use
Email and Internet Access,
design of phone
Great Software overall

- Cant forward Text messages to other people
Sound quality when using the phone not too good
Cant synch with any other phone models via bluetooth

+ Screen size, touch screen. Full internet access to real sites.

- Battery life, no MMS picture transfer.

+ Love the look of it and the way it is put together - very beautiful and a delight to hold. Also think the video is fantastic and the way to use i-tunes. Really use all the podcast downloads and the music.

- Battery life low and you don't know the percentage available so you can get stuck. should come with a portable recharger, to carry on the train etc.
The instructions were very insufficient: it took a long time and some googling to find out how to go back a few minutes on a podcast for example. I still can't work out how to have it on silent/meeting and have to switch it off.
The headphones are quite fragile and mine are already showing a bare wire near to the mic.
Edge often doesn't work so the maps/email/etc don't behave very well - though when they do they'll be brilliant: will 3G be better I wonder/hope...
It would be nice to be able to download games, as safari doesn't work too well where I live and work - in the country.

+ what i like about this phone is primarily its looks and touchflow interface,incredible ease of use and battery life.I never browse on any phone before cuz i didnt like the little display and it was difficult to use but using internet on iphone is a pleasure.and the thing which excites me most is the updates that apple give for free,u update ur phone and it has whole new features to play with while with other phones u have to buy a whole new phone for any extra feature.

- no sms forwarding,no bluetooth sharing,no video camera

+ fantastic design, great features, good tariffs means you can get advantage of email/web on the move

- battery life atrocious, edge is very slow, headphone socket is inaccessible with most headphones, cannot remove sim very easily

+ good touch screen, nice video playback..good music player..good mail functionality

- worst camera, no video recording, no 3G in old phone,

+ The touch screen is great and the iphone is fairly easy to use.

- Should have more info with the iphone on how to access, and use, all the facilities.

+ Looks good, easy to use, Nice touch screen interface

- Crap camera with no flash and no video recording function. Have to use iPhone specific headphones.

+ The iPhone provides the best mobile web browsing experience. It's email support is superb and being part iPod it is one of the most advanced mobile music devices. That's just the tip of the iceberg; it has a wealth of very useable features which comes in quite handy. Features such as Google maps, stocks, calculator, weather app and the youtube app are a treat to use and makes the iPhone an allround handset.

- I guess the most obvious is the iPhone currently not being 3G then comes the low specs of the camera; being 2 megapixel. Another common point is the recessed headphone jack which hinders the use of any old 3.5mm cans that are'nt made specifically for the iPhone.

+ Incredible Design. Web/Mail/Calender and tons more of useful applications

- Bad battery life.. Bad camera too. No Video either.

+ Looks good, touchpad interface excellent.

- As above - photos

+ everything

- internet on the go

+ It is a thing of beuty and the Internet browsing is fantastic. As a multi-device it cannot be beaten.

- Sending pictures by SMS, battery life is poor, cases to protect iPod are pretty rubbish too. No hotmail integration for mail!! Terrible

+ this phone has alot of features other phones donty have

- its not easy to figure out and the web information isnt always that simple to understand when your not familiar with the technical terms

+ I think the iPhone overall is a really good phone. I love the web browsing and email software on it and find these incredibly easy to use. The iTunes connectivity is great and again, very easy to use, and makes listning to music on the phone very good. I also like the fact that it syncs very easily with my Outlook calendar. The wifi is very good and extremely easy to use - switch on and off and find networks.

- The limitations in software is very disappointing, and coming from a Windows Mobile phone, I find that the iPhone is not as "business minded". Hopefully, the new update will improve this, but I would have liked to have been able to edit Office documents without having to go through Google Documents. I also miss GPS, but Google Maps is quite a ood temporary alternative. Also bring on 3G!!
