Intermittent Problems with Back Button & charging
Date:7 June, 2011
By John C
from Dublin
Age:45-54
Owned this device for:3 months
I have had the 3GS for approx 3 months, originally I had intermittent problems charging the phone via both the mains charger and USB cable (tried a number of different USB cables). The latest and most frustrating problem is with the back button not working. There are various solutions and workarounds documented on the net, but eventually, the back button problem got more frequent leading me to send it back for repair, so I am back using my good old Nokia E51 again!

Unbelievable Phone

The best phone you can get.
1.All the apps great apps include Angry Birds.
2.Great Social Networking Sites Such as Skype,Twitter and Especially Facebook. Another Class App Is Splice,
Splice is a video editing app for iPhone you can merge videos together add photos add music add background and then save them and upload them to YOUTUBE and the best thing is its free.
3.Phone Easy To Use Loud Speaker Great
4.Text Messaging Whenever you get a text or send a text it pops up in little speech bubbles great
5.Battery The only thing I can criticize about the IPhone Very Poor Battery Needs To Be Charged Every Night but you can get apps look up in app search on the app store Battery and loads of apps will come up for saving battery power great phone for business,kids Facebook and Twitter People Great Phone

Kick Butt Phone/Mini Pc

By Amanda JC

Owned this device for:4 months
This Is By Far The Best Phone I Have Ever Owned. I Have Been Using Mobile Phones For 20 Years And Have Owned Several Different Models From Different Manufacturers Including Nokia Samsung, Sony, Motorolla, Alcatel And Some More To. My Point This Phone BEats Them All Hands Down. I'ts A Quick Sleek Panther Of A Phone Yep The Rolls Royce Of Mobile Technology. I Am Totally Smitten. Battery Life Is The Only Thing That Frustrates Two Days Thats It Nokia Get First Prize For BAttery Life. Inspite Of This Minor Irritation I Still Regard This Phone As The Creme De La Creme. I Would Highly Recommend This Phone. It Does Everything It Says On The Thin And I Mean Everything. What U All Waiting For Check This Winner Out Before Santa Comes

Nice phone, shame about the battery life.

The Apple stable produced another little gem in this phone and being an Apple user I found it easy to use and very reliable. It has survived numerous bumps and scrapes and had never given me a moments problem.
The range of Apps is enormous and there are some awesome, useful, free Apps to save spending your hard-earned cash.
The range of Apps is enormous and there are some awesome, useful, free Apps to save spending your hard-earned cash.
My only gripe is the battery life expectancy. If you use the phone, other than for talk or texting, for any length of time, the battery life drains extraordinarily quickly. Not a problem if you're at home and can re-charge easily but it's a real pain if you use it in-flight or on the road to listen to music or play games. And unlike older phones, you can't just buy a replacement battery cheaply to carry around in case of emergencies.

A flawed masterpiece
Date:14 October, 2010
By Aidan

I decided to get this phone for work, I had never considered and iPhone, but the option of always being in touch with email and online was too much to resist.
The phone is amazing, easy to use and intuitive, the amount of apps are really good.
I'm just about to take it back for reapair for the second time. It randomly shuts down in the middle of calls and loses signal for no apparent reason. Very frustrating.

I like this phone

By Katharine

I really like this phone. I got it a few months ago and it is really fun and easy to use. I especially love the way it has email and wi-fi on it and I love all the apps. I noticed that a lot of people are criticizing the battery life and this is what I would suggest to you :
Get the app called Battery, it tells you how long you have left to listen to music, watch movies, and use wi-fi on your phone.
Get Battery Boost as well because it will give you tips on how to save your battery.

The phone that does it all!
Date:6 August, 2010
By Sinead
from County Kerry
Owned this device for:6-12 months
I ordered my IPhone earlier this year and was a little doubtful about it being as good as the glowing reviews I had read about it, but I was due an upgrade and thought, what the heck. After about one week of using it, it was very clear what all the fuss was about. For me the IPhone is quite simply the most user friendly [and powerful] phone I have ever owned - to be fair I am probably doing the IPhone an injustice by referring to it as "a phone" - it would be better described as a pocket computer. The sky really is the limit to what this device can do! The TV adverts cover it's wide range very well in stating that "there's an App for that" because there quite literally is an App for everything and the process of selecting and downloading the Apps is totally seamless. The photo and video quality is top class and everything stored on the IPhone may be backed up on PC in matter of seconds.

Fantastic phone, no other words to describe it.
Battery life is the only thing that lets it down - it is really poor. Otherwise it is a great business tool. Very easy to use, layout of menus is logical. Syncs with Microsoft outlook easily using iTunes. Loads of apps - most gimmicks, but some quite usefull. Tough little phone - can handle lots of daily use. E-mail is great and wifi works perfectly, Software ver 4.0 is definatley worth downloading - some great upgrades there. Very pleased with this phone.

Decided to treat myself to this when it became available on Vodafone and finally got round to it - so glad I did! It's a great phone but also an mp3 player, camera, radio, sat nav,organiser, and mobile broadband provider: more like a mini laptop than just a phone.
I found it really easy to figure out the functions, it's all just logic and touch based, so you can't really go wrong- having said that I'm discovering new things every day!

Love the phone and all the apps that are available.
Really disappointed in the camera. Poor stills and video. Would have expected better from Apple. Lets hope they have a better camera when I'm due an upgrade.

I found the phone confusing to set up as i wasn't familiar with apple itunes, but once i adapted it was simple to use,
there are so many features, and any you find you are missing there is an app you can download for it!

battery life is poor if you are like me and browse the internet frequently and listen to alot of music
as well as playing app games.
as well as playing app games.
size and weight wise its a perfect fit for my hands a bit too big for some pockets, where my tocco lite would have fit, the bigger screen is just the right size.
i've a 10 month old dauhter and the phone has survived her random attacks without any scratches or problems so far.
all in all a great product i would definitely recommend to a family member or friend. its unlike any other phone ive ever had!
