This review is from: Apple iPhone 3G 16GB SIM-Free (Electronics)
It’s always a risk buying a reconditioned electronic item. The iPhone was delivered quicker than expected and arrived well packaged. Unfortunately, after using it became clear that something was wrong. The battery ran down in a few hours after a full charge and it shut down randomly. The supplier responded promptly and offered to take it back for testing and sent a replacement product which is perfect but given that I bought this as a birthday present I was not covered in glory by the recipient for having to send it back. It should have been tested more thoroughly but once resolved, it’s a very good iphone for much less than you’d pay new.

This review is from: Apple iPhone 3G 16GB SIM-Free (Electronics)
I gave my 3g a 5 star rating because if you’ve never used one its unlike any other phone – This was and is the standard for future mobile technology. The Iphone is more a computer than a phone, with too many apps to count and thats where its strength lies. Below is a short feature list (bear in mind that certain apps aren’t available directly from Apple ;-D)
Ical Calendar Imap/Pop Email with Push(Push = instant email retrieval) Currency Converter GPS kit TomTom Aroundme(finds pubs, taxis, takeawy from your current location) Alarm Clock Dictionary Shredder Chess Goodreader (for reading books) Dropbox (For retreiving files online or via FTP) Google Earth Guitar Toolkit (Tuner, chords etc) Audio recorder IMDB – for retrieving movie info Palringo – instant messenger Itunes Remote Shazam – for using your iphone to tell you what song is playing on your car radio
I could literally go on and on and on but you get the point.
My question is that you can do all this stuff with your laptop and with the advent of the Ipad the iphone has become a little obsolete. I want my phone to have good Bluetooth support, take pictures I can see, record movies, Do GPS, retrieve my emails and with the exception of the latter the Iphone doesn’t do any of these very well at all. The New offerings from HTC(Google Andriod) also include mini SD card support so you can swap out up to 32GB of info from your phone – when my contract is up Im buying one of those unlocked, Im glad I had the experience of the Iphone because I’m a big nerd who likes to remote control stuff but I want a phone thats a phone.

This product surpassed my expectations. It was a second hand i-phone – normally you will get some scratching or signs of wear and tear. This was absolutely perfect and came boxed. It was a present and the person who received it was delighted.
