Apple - iPhone 3G Cell Phone Reviews

 I've been eyeing the Apple iPhone ever since it was introduced over a year and a half ago. The first generation iPhone was just too expensive and its connection was too slow.

That changed on July 11th (2008) when the Apple iPhone 3G was officially released into the wild. The second generation Apple iPhone boasts 3G connectivity (which according to Apple is twice as fast as an EDGE connection - AT&Ts older data protocol), built in GPS, push email and more.

I find myself doing things I never thought I would do. I am an official texter now. I surf the web for no particular reason, and use the GPS as if I may get lost going anywhere, and I take and email pictures of the silliest things to people just because I can. The speed in which everything works is very fast compared to what I was use to. When people see I have this phone they always want to play with it. The only down falls...

Battery life is due for an upgrade, too.

I have had the IPhone for about 5 months now, and am completely addicted.  Being a college student (with distance learning classes), it comes in handy in that I can check my grades, submit homework, or send an e-mail to my teacher all while sitting at the auto mechanic's.  The biggest reason that I am writing this review is that 8 days ago, I dropped the IPhone into the toilet (don't ask).  It immediately went wacky (a white screen kept flickering off and on).  After doing some internet research, I put the phone into a plastic container full of rice and left it alone for 5 days.  Can you believe...
