Review: iPhone 3G
Jul 14, 2008, 3:58 PM by Eric M. Zeman
Phone Scoop takes a look at the new 3G iPhone from Apple. See what sets it apart from the original ... and what doesn't.
It's been just over a year since Apple's iPhone hit the cell phone scene. Before July 11, about 6 million people from across the country had picked one up. Many of those same people lined up once again for the second version of the iPhone, which brings several new things to the table. Since Phone Scoop has already written a full review of the original iPhone, we're going to focus specifically on what makes this phone different.
Those include the new firmware, the iPhone Apps Store, the 3G radio, the GPS radio and the revisions to the hardware itself. Otherwise many aspects of the phone remain unchanged.

Sprint has taken a phone most regular phone buyers only dream of...

BlackBerry still rules!
It's no coincidence that Q1 of 2008 showed BlackBerry taking in almost 50% of the smartphone market share, more than double the iPhone. And that won't be changing anytime soon.
iPhones are for kids; people that are serious get BlackBerrys.
