• Reviews of the 3G iPhone

  "It's cheaper, faster and a lot friendlier for business."--Edward BaigUSA Today: Apple's New iPhone 3G: Still Not Perfect, but Really Close (July 10, 2008)

  "Changes to the device itself were not as wide-ranging as expected. There was no storage bump for instance, when it had been widely expected that a 32GB version would be launched to bring the iPhones in line with the iPod touch product suite. Nor was there an improvement to the camera, which many had thought would be improved from two megapixels to at least three megapixels."--Nicole MartinTelegraph.co.uk: iPhone 3G WWDC review (June 10, 2008)

  "Yeah, the 3G connectivity is good, but with other Wi-Fi enabled product already supporting 802.11n, the iPhone still remains only b/g."--Allan David ReyesMobile Phillipines: 3G iPhone: Better Value for your Money (June 11, 2008)
