IPhone 3G - 8 Gig

I recently made the change to the new iPhone 3g 8gig. I previously had the Palm Treo with Sprint. I have to say that I'm extremely impressed with the iPhone. Sprint tried to talk the company I work for into keeping Sprint and getting the new Blackberry. Sprint said that if you use your phone for business you MUST have a Blackberry. I couldn't disagree more. Here are the key features I'd say are necessary for a cell phone for business use.

1. Email
2. Internet
3. Storage

The iPhone 3g dominates all of the categories listed above. You can add just about any email account to your phone and be updated in real time when you receive a new email. The internet is so much faster than Sprint's that it's not even arguable. And I'm a previous customer so I know from experience. And my last point is storage which is no contest. I have the smaller memory iPhone which is quite a bit more storage that any other phone offered by Sprint other than the Instinct.

Anyone who cares about the stock market would be better off with the new iPhone as well.

The iPhone starts you with an icon for "stocks" but I would recommend the Bloomberg Application which is FREE! If you haven't checked it out you really should. The main page shows you all of the markets in the world along with recent news, plus you can add any stock you want to your own portfolio page.

Now just about anyone who buys an iPhone is interested in music. With 2 options you can hold around 2,000 or 4,000 songs. There are a ton of music applications you can add for free as well. Verizon boasts of their system where you can hold your phone to the radio and you will sent a message of what the song is.

The iPhone has a really cool application call Shazam which does the same thing. I absolutely love Pandora radio and listen to it on my laptop all the time. Now you can have it on your iPhone. And thanks to the super fast 3g network, you can listen to Pandora without download interruptions. I'd have to say this is my favorite application I've used so far.

There are tons of available applications for your iPhone that I would encourage any user to check out.

Even one that turns your phone into a flashlight in case you find yourself in the dark.

For now that's all on the new Apple iPhone 3g. I'll add more as I learn more about the phone and what else is out there.

Htc Touch Diamond Vs Apple Iphone 3G

The Apple iPhone 3G has been out for a while now, and has therefore been able to dominate the market of "smart phones." Now, however, Microsoft has come out with the HTC Touch Diamond, a competitive product that boasts similar features and pricing. So which one is better? Or are they the same? This article will help you decide which phone is for you, or if either of them are worth the price at all.

The HTC Touch Diamond is, like its name implies, completely touch screen based. It runs off of the system Windows Mobile 6.1, and some have noted that that is actually not a very good operating system to use with a touch screen. The appearance of the phone is sleek and stylish, and about the same size as a person's palm. Right now the phone comes in black, but, if it is successful, it might come in more colors later on. The processor speed is slower than some users might be wanting in their phone, so if you are looking for a fast processing phone then another phone would be a better option. The HTC Touch Diamond does not use multi-touch technology, so that means as far as touch technology goes, that it is not even close to the Apple iPhone 3G. Standard features include a 2.8 inch VGA screen with built in auto rotation. It has a 3.2 mega pixel camera, and wi-fi. It comes with a GPS system and also comes with 4GB memory, Bluetooth capabilities, FM radio, 192 MB DDR Ram, and a 528 MHz Processor.

The Apple iPhone 3G is a better version of the original iPhone. It still uses the same idea of combining phone, internet, and Ipod. The main difference between the iPhone 3G and the original iPhone is the fact that the Internet speed is faster. The Apple iPhone 3G adds the additional feature of an app store right on the phone. The e-mail service is better as well. However, there are some drawbacks to this phone also. Some common features that most phones have are not existent on this iPhone. This phone is Bluetooth capable, comes with many different operating systems, iTunes, a 16GB memory, e-mail, radio, and GPS system. It also uses the multi-touch technology and has a built in automatic rotating screen. Currently the only color offered for this phone is black. The iPhone is a great phone to get if interesting in Internet browsing and music downloading. If you are not interested in these features then you should probably go with a cheaper phone.

Overall, the HTC Touch Diamond and Apple iPhone 3G cannot really be compared to each other. The iPhone offers many different features and technologies than the Touch Diamond. The HTC Touch Diamond is more like other touch phones that are out there, and the iPhone still stands alone. Still, unless Internet speed and music features are important for you to have on your phone, then you are better off getting a cheaper phone. The iPhone and Diamond are also similarly priced, so if one is too expensive for you, then the other one will be as well.

IPhone 3G GPS

IPhone 3G GPS

One great feature of the new iPhone 3G is GPS.

It didn't take me too long to figure it out. The feature is used through the Maps application. You simply identify where you are going by typing in the address, then select, "Get Directions" which it will map out the shortest distance. When you are ready to go, select "Start" and the 3G network will locate you on the map using a pulsing blue dot. As you move, so will the dot. It's definitely pretty cool.

I did notice a couple fixes that would make it better. One would be a voice command to prompt the user to turn or when a turn is coming. Another would be to have the map rotate to that you are always traveling up on the screen. Currently, you have to turn your iPhone after you make a directional change if you want to be moving in the same direction as the blue dot.

The commercial for the Instinct says that it has voice command GPS. At this point I would say that is its biggest competitive advantage over the iPhone 3G. It wouldn't take much for the Instinct's GPS to be more responsive than the iPhone's. I noticed that sometimes I would be passing streets that the iPhone GPS displayed I hadn't yet. I would say the feature is definitely useful, however, if I were planning a long road trip I definitely wouldn't trust it to get me there without a few mistakes along the way.
