The iPhone 3G has only been out for two weeks but is already turning heads; TV ads, news reports, gadget junkies lining up for hours to get one. But is it worth it the price tag? What are the setbacks of the phone? Here's a review you don't want to miss.
Digital Journal -- The gadget was so popular, Apple sold more than one million units in the first weekend of sales. The iPhone 3G is the predecessor to the original iPhone but for many countries around the world (including Canada), this is the first time tech fans seen a phone from Apple.
Since the phone's launch, we've been contacted by countless people who want to know more about the phone -- what we like, what we don't like, is it worth the investment and when will the next iPhone be available?
While we don't know when the next-gen iPhone will be out (wow, some of you guys are impatient!), we can tell you there are a number of incredible features on this phone we have never seen anywhere else, but there are also a number of features Apple goofed on and should have included.
In this episode of Digital Journal TV we break down the pros and cons of the device in an in-depth report. Find out how downloadable applications make this phone unique, why taking photos is painful and awkward, and get the scoop on why the iPhone 3G tempts Digital Journal managing editor, David Silverberg to quit his job to become a DJ.
For those of you wondering if the screen picks fingerprint smudges easily, just watch this video. And for those of you wondering just how good the camera is in the iPhone 3G, here are a couple photos we shot to show quality. You have to have a steady hand to avoid blur, but overall the camera is pretty good:
