The big fight Apple iPhone 3G

With the iPhone 3G set to hit the stands, look-alikes are already emerging. Just how good are they? Will they give the iconic iPhone a run for its money? JANANI KRISHNASWAMYbrings you the lowdown on the looming showdown


When the iPhone was launched, it was considered innovative and groundbreaking. However, it was an expensive toy.

Apple’s new iPhone is twice as fast, slimmer and far cheaper. Now, you can flip through web pages 2.8 times faster; it supports Wi-Fi, 3G and EDGE networks and automatically switches between them to ensure the fastest possible downloads.

Apple, which only recently patented its unique ‘PET-based touch pad’ technology, has in its new phone done away with the aluminum rear in favour of a black plastic back.

Playing games should be a joy on this iPhone, you just have tilt and move your on-screen characters.

Throw in the real-time mapping and tracking with GPS, the best of Apps, interesting range of widgets, competitive prices, and you have a winner!

Price:

8 GB: $199

16 GB: $299
