Here it is, our in-depth, comparative, totally obsessive review of the new iPhone 3G. The latest iteration of Apple's cell phones brings a couple of major upgrades on the hardware side with 3G and GPS on board. It also comes with the new iPhone 2.0 ...

The first iPhone 3G reviews have just hit, from Walt Mossberg of the WSJ and All Things D, Ed Baig from USA Today and David Pogue from the NYTimes. No one goes deep into the app store but here's what they think:

The iPhone 3G is the second generation of Apple's iconic cellular phone. One year ago Apple stormed the wireless industry by introducing their touch screen based device, and just over a year later they have released an updated version that adds ...

The original iPhone's launch 1 year ago was likely the hottest consumer electronics event of 2007. Even grandmothers and technophobes knew about Apple's cool new phone thanks to long lines at the mall and a barrage of major news coverage. The iPhone ...

Fast, fantastic touch screen experience, easy to use yet powerful enough to handle syncing, Exchange and other business tasks. The 3.5" display is one of the best we've seen on a mobile device. Great music and video playback, as you'd expect from an ...

Still no user replaceable battery (a bigger hurt thanks to 3G's power consumption), MMS, video shooting or copy and paste. The 2 megapixel camera isn't exactly cutting edge. No tasks or notes syncing

The iPhone 3G is certainly the most fun and easy to use phone available today and for the foreseeable future. Yet it brings smartphone features to the table and a very powerful Internet experience-- two things not usually associated with fun and easy. ...

The San Francisco Apple store had a big line and slow activation times at the Friday launch of the iPhone 3G.

We're hard at work on a full iPhone 3G review, but here are some of our initial impressions for those of you buying today. The big features are 3G and assisted GPS, as it turns out, their usefulness will really depend on how you use your phone.

The in-store activation was a pain. I was among the first 5 in the AT&T store I went to and our wait times varied greatly. The first person in was actually the last person out, how long the process took really depended on how good of a sales associate ...

The iPhone 3G has been hyped for almost as long as the original iPhone itself. But is it worth the upgrade cost and a whole new two-year agreement with AT&T in order to get one? Ars did an in-depth review of every detail of the newest iPhone—including ...

The $199 (or $299, or $399, or $499) question is: is it worth it? As usual, the answeris "it depends." If you're using some old, crappy cell phone, you're looking for something new, and you're not allergic toAT&T, then go for it. Do it now. Well, ...

It's time for round two of the iPhone. Apple managed to create and steal its own hype with the iPhone 3G. On the one hand we got a new iPhone, on the other hand we got tons of new features for the old iPhone as well. There's a lot of sifting to do, so ...
