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.

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?

In this episode of Digital Journal TV we break down the pros and cons of the device in an in-depth report.

You have to have a steady hand to avoid blur, but overall the camera is pretty good:
