My husband gave me the iPhone as a present. The iPhone is cool. I love it. A keyboard on this phone would have been exceptional but well one can't always have everything. The large display is awesome. Sound quality is very good. The 2 Megapixel camera and a video recorder really make an almost complete package. Besides, it has all the goodies Apple can provide... great browsing experience. The design is fantastic and it feels good to be seen with the iPhone!!!

People, what can I say about my new substitute to the Sony Ericsson I replaced recently, it's just amazing. I've used it for everything; say taking pictures, playing games, listening to music, browsing and what not! The more you use the more you get addicted to it. Even though it has some drawbacks, I'm definitely very happy with my new iPhone 3G...

The greatest phone ever made (at the time)... the only thing better is a 3Gs! To the reviewer that wanted video, just get the 3Gs.

I'm not totally satisfied with my iPhone 3G. There's no doubt that it's an excellent design with some great features like good 3rd party applications, amazing apple store support and superb user interface. But, it even has some flaws in its armor, there's flash with the 2MP camera and the virtual keyboard provided is a bit difficult to use. And above all there isn't video recording!
