Money Making Blog

Design

They are hardly any differences in the design on the front page of the iPhone 3G. The minor changes – the edge of the money is thin mesh and money behind the speaker – are so low that we are not the opinions of a few hours after the harvest of the unit. Turn the phone on its side, however, and you will see more changes. Apple has the aluminum money back with a facial plastic black or white. The black version (our report model) is nice, but we accept that we have too little money, the original, a few fingerprints and grease points that the version in black gloss. White is not our model of a cup of tea.

The two iPhones look almost identical. See Wholesale iPhones

The iPhone 3G edges are slightly tapered to the curvature of the spine, making the device thinner around the perimeter than its predecessor, but a hair thicker (0.48 cm and 0.46 inches) in the gut. Unfortunately, the curvature of the back of the iPhone 3G is to swing easy, if you use it on a picture – this is annoying quickly. The phone is in the height and width of the action (5.5 inch to 2.4 inches) the same, even though it weighs only slightly (4.7 ounces 4.8 ounces).

We love the iPhone 3G headphones hunting.

At 3.5 inches and 480×320 pixels, the screen is the same size as its predecessor, but a little more dots per inch (163 vs.160), and the cranks for brilliant colors, precise graphics and fluid movements. The presentation of the home screen is identical to that in the first version, but you will see two new icons from the start: An icon will take you directly contact to the phonebook, and the icon opens the iTunes App Store App Store. The display of the glass surface, accelerometer feature, the touch screen, and secondary menus remain.

Tiny screws are on the bottom of the iPhone 3G.

The iPhone 3G controls reveal little change, but none of them is a surprise current iPhone users. The button is located below the screen, while the volume of the ringing and remain mute rocker switch on the left side of the spine. The Power-sleep on the button at the top of the phone in the normal position. All orders are now black instead of money. Slot for the SIM card has not moved not, and Apple now includes a SIM removal tool in the box. The lower end of the iPhone houses the speaker, the microphone and the connector for the charger, but you see two small screws on each side of the charging station. Think maybe that you will be able to your battery now? Bummer: The battery is not user, we recommend that you not try it (even if the battery is no longer soldered down). We are pleased that the 3G iPhone 3.5 mm headphone jack is now flush with the surface of the phone, you can use any headphones with 3.5 mm you like, you n ‘are more on a helmet, which can be as in the previous inadequate telephone support installed.

In the box you will find the syncing cable, a cleaning cloth, monitor, headphones, user documentation, the removal tool from the top of the SIM card and an electrical outlet. The acquisition is pleasantly smaller than on the original iPhone, but it is equipped with a standard USB cable. On the negative you get is not for synchronization platform. If you like, you pay $ 30 for the (boo!), And Apple made sure the iPhone 3G is not the first iPhone platform.

Features

The iPhone 3G is responding to all the features of the original iPhone and sheds a little more if we are to concentrate on what is new. Lucky for the first gen iPhone owners, most of the large number of files – the support and the expansion of 3G GPS – come with the free software update 2.0. To learn more about the functions of the organizer, stocks and weather widgets, YouTube application notepad, threaded SMS, voicemail and picture, see our report from the iPhone.

Support for the Exchange server

Bees, the workers in the whole world expects the iPhone 3G’s full support of Microsoft Exchange Server. In our tests, adding an Exchange account was ridiculously easy, if we consider the attitudes of the department – to choose a new e-mail account in the Settings menu, and you are automatically on the default list of the arrangement of the e-mail systems. “Microsoft Exchange” and “MobileMe” will be at the top of the list just above the choice for Gmail. You will then be invited to the e-mail addresses, domain name / user name, server and password. The process of authentication, just a few minutes. Installing CNET’s security certificate poses a little challenge, but we finally have the certificate by post to ourselves through Yahoo Mail.

The iPhone 3G offers settings for Exchange server and MobileMe e-mail.

Once you’re ready to go, the iPhone to synchronize your Outlook email, contacts and calendar. Be reminded that if the iPhone can have several POP3 accounts at once (two Yahoo, for example), it synchronizes with an Exchange server, and, worse still, only with a timetable or a list of contacts, the. If you have a personal calendar, calendar work, to be replaced as soon as you sync. (You will be notified before it happens.)

As an alternative, if you synchronize e-mail without sync your contacts and calendar. Also you can check the work and the e-mail accounts open at the same time that the path between the two (unlike on a BlackBerry). MobileMe is another way to this limitation, but we are talking about more.

When using Wi-Fi, e-mail quickly became synchronized. While new messages have arrived, the iPhone immediately registered. It seems enlisent if we have a large bouquet of messages at a certain time, however. In these cases, we manually updated on the phone, but even then the connection may freeze. In one case, an update has nearly 5 minutes – as long as we had from the e-mail application, and again later. We have also found that if the iPhone loses its Wi-Fi connection, the syncing is interrupted even if the phone is 3G service. Synchronization via 3G was just as quickly, so there was a difference, we do not notice. But if the 3G connection is fragile, needs more time.

If we have a message on our phone, e-mail is from our PC in a few seconds later. Deleted messages on the PC has more time to disappear from the phone, in general, we still have a manual update for their party. Deleted e-mails on the phone are stored in your PC Recycle Bin and vice versa. If the connection is weak, deleting and moving messages can be problematic. There were some cases in which the iPhone does not send us a message at random. But if we go back to our computer, the message was in the trash.

You can select all folders in your inbox and move messages from your Inbox into a specific folder. You may not news, but you can find a contact when they used their phone number in the e-mail. Open systems worked as promised, and we love how you can now print images directly in your photo gallery RELATED simply by clicking on the image. For e-mail files, you need the traditional way of the opening of the photo, the choice of e-mail solution, and select the account you wish to send from. We had great difficulty with the transfer of equipment – just a few occasions, we need to try several times to send to a colleague. Even the iPhone is not in a position to weaken JPEG to e-mails.

The e-mail syncing is not without flaws, and he can not be measured with just a BlackBerry, but a good step towards the manufacture of the iPhone one. Your experience will depend on how the e-mail throughout the day. If the evaluation of messages, and you need to, then we suggest that for the moment. But when you score, and just to answer some (or you have a little), then you can completely satisfied with the experience. Although AT & T, with support from the Exchange server on the iPhone 3G, the data plan (which costs $ 45 per month), we are not sure, AT & T is the rule. The iPhone does not prompt you of this restriction in any way.

MobileMe

The iPhone 3G supports Apple’s new MobileMe service, which synchronizes from Mac Mail, Address Book, and iCal applications: contacts, appointments from the calendar, e-mails, photos, bookmarks and a browser. One advantage is that MobileMe enables you to synchronize calendars and personal contacts. Visit our magazine MobileMe for a full analysis.

App Store

If you are in the iTunes Store, you are in the App Store main menu, a bit like the iTunes Store in mobile design. You search applications by name and category, and you can view the list of stars who have applications or the top 25 There is also a function to see if you updated applications.

Handy iPhone App Store.

We have a small number of applications for the iPhone. Downloads over Wi-Fi was fast enough, most of them have only a few seconds, but think it depends on the size of the application. Although you can purchase iTunes songs wirelessly through a Wi-Fi connection you can use from 10 MB or less on a 3G network, and also on the edge (if 3G is not available).

Downloads 3G has approximately the same time, as they did over Wi-Fi, give or take a few seconds, but the applications are even EDGE prison. We have also bought the online applications on the iTunes website (7.7) memory. We downloaded Super Monkey Ball and synchronized our phone – a new tab in the applications of the iPhone menu. The process is quick and painless. Furthermore, the navigation in the applications, online storage is easy. After loading of applications, the icons on the start screen.

What is most notable on-line applications, the business scope of the available, many of which use the accelerometer. So far there are 27 pages in a variety of categories. If there is one thing about the iPhone, in which love is the App Store – even if all applications are the owners and Apple is still a strict scrutiny, which is po Obviously Apple is not the first company to make a phone applications third party, but like the iPhone itself, the App Store is unique, not to what he does, but how they are fact. The process is so simple that we can not imagine the same experience on a Windows Mobile device. Of course, before you to leave, remember that some applications are free, others will they cost.

3G

IPhone 3G support for AT & T Wireless UMTS / HSDPA wireless broadband network is too late for the customer the iPhone, which has been frustrated by the slow surfing the Internet at the speed of the 2.5G EDGE network, but it is much more to the second generation device. Safari always delivered speeds of 300kbps to 500 Kbps and faster, sometimes, in our tests. It is a big jump on the typical EDGE speeds of less than 100 kbps. The Web pages, the protocol took only a few seconds on the 3G load.

In preliminary trials, the iPhone 3G from its predecessor burned. When using the 3G network, WorldofWarcraft.com (a very large bandwidth site), as fast as 38 seconds and longer than 47 seconds. In contrast, at the same location for 2 minutes to 2 minutes and 45 seconds on the original iPhone EDGE. We have also tried WorldofWarcraft.com on access to 3G iPhone with EDGE. His speed was faster by 2 minutes, but the speed of the slowest was a painful 3 minutes 30 seconds. The mobile site of CNET.com was only 12 seconds on the 3G network but up to 23 seconds using EDGE. For more information about the speed of the Internet to find Prize Fighter.

IPhone 3G Safari browser.

Of course, the 3G experience is over. Your experience depends on many factors including 3G coverage in your area, the number of people on the network at a given time and type of pages that you access them – usually employed in the pages load slower. Therefore, it is imperative that you test 3G coverage in your area using another AT & T 3G before buying the new iPhone. AT & T can offer advice, but there is no substitute for the experience of the real world. Outside the United States, the iPhone from the Tri-Band (850/1900/2100) UMTS / HSDPA support, the 3G coverage around the world. A final point is that 3G will suck the juice from the phone, you should (there is an option in the Settings menu) when you’re not using it. At this point, the standard EDGE.

Find your way with the iPhone 3G to Assisted GPS.

GPS

The current iPhone will find the location of the position by triangulating among nearby cell phone towers and satellites, the iPhone 3G uses Assisted by GPS satellites, which recognizes your best location. It also offers direct, so that your progress as you drive (or walk) to. We have the functionality of GPS in the car and on foot. If, on foot, the monitoring by satellites, it was quite. He stressed our position around, and the small blue dot that represented our position, we followed as we moved along. More, we do not lose the link, we were between tall buildings or under the viaduct. Naturally, the satellite link up, that we are in the buildings, but it will automatically find the next round of wireless phone or a hotspot. This method is not as accurate – at once, it can be a circle of several blocks – but you have the idea of the place where you are. There were moments, as we had to ask the iPhone to determine our position once again, as we did on the buildings and a satellite connection. When riding in a car, the GPS is not very specific. The blue dot tendency to skip or block as we got lights.

Even with these additions, but the iPhone via the GPS is not in competition with the GPS device. Google Maps provides point-to-point toward the iPhone 3G, but the phone does not rundenbasierend in real time, directions, and you do not know whether this ability will be used later by the third-party applications. Apple’s SDK prohibits location-based services “designed or in real time for routing”, but that does not mean that we do not see at all.

IPhone iPod

We can not blame Apple for the outcome of the iPhone iPod functions unchanged. During the year of the original iPhone has none of the competitors was in a position with the capability of the iPhone as a music player and video. Of course, it is not hard, who’s online, Apple’s iTunes store continues to reign as the target for the music, video downloads and podcasts.

The iPhone 3G music player.

As with the first generation of the iPhone, the icon for the iPod on the iPhone 3G in the main menu displays a submenu of content on your computer, iTunes library, including music, videos and podcasts. The iPhone touch screen with very reactive and its intuitive navigation lets you quickly through long lists of songs or free time browsing your music collection in a beautiful view Cover Flow. By default, the iPod menu includes shortcut icons Icon for Playlists, Artists, songs and videos, but these links can be easily exchanged for more options for the May-the best to you, such as podcasts, albums, audio books, compilations, composers or genres .

If you are hungry for new music, but they do not have the patience, the downloading of music at home, in the iTunes Store, iPhone Wi-Fi you can browse and purchase new music directly to your mobile phone. As the name implies, the iTunes Wi-Fi Store unfortunately works only on the iPhone from your Wi-Fi Internet, which is surprising given the fact that the downloads on the 3G iPhone could strengthen the appeal, that the demand for music.

The arrival of third-party applications for iPhone opens up many new possibilities in connection with the music, even without a little music applications we significantly. For example, the radio amateurs can at AOL Radio and Pandora to music directly on the iPhone on both Wi-Fi and 3G connections. An application Apple Remote, iPhone turns into a series of functions for remote control of the computer, iTunes or other Apple TV.

The iPhone 3G is an admirable work, the support MP3, AAC, Audible, Apple Lossless, WAV, and AIFF audio files and MPEG-4 or H.264 video. Of course, the iPhone is not for the types of Windows Media files such as WMA audio or WMV video, or more than the store formats DivX, FLAC, or Ogg Vorbis.

With the exception of songs downloaded directly on the phone with the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, the loading of audio and video content on the iPhone 3G requires Apple’s iTunes software. Unlike the original version of the first generation of the iPhone, you can manually from music files on your iPhone if you do not have the content automatically to your iTunes library. The iPhone 3G and the quality to improve EQ characteristics are identical with those of the first generation of the version, and certainly good enough to make your MP3 player superfluous. The iPhone 3G in the built-in speakers crank much faster – but musically unacceptable – his. To the sound from the iPhone, we recommend investing in a pair of quality headphones or headsets, with the camera.

The iPhone 3G Video Player.

The iPhone 3G almost perfect storm video features includes iTunes movie rental of compatible, excellent video podcast support, a drive for YouTube, autobookmarking, fullscreen, scale and integrated support for subtitles and chapter bookmarks. The iPhone is of crucial importance to a lack of Web-enabled portable video player is the lack of support for the ubiquity of the Internet-video Flash. Small video of our aversion referrals of reflection on the screen of the iPhone and the lack of a flip-out stand. The iPhone 3G offers video quality without surprises, the display colors and 480×320 video on the 3.5 inch screen. The phone is black in negative and low contrast when viewing the iPhone 3G in angle, but the whole video experience is one of the best, on a mobile phone.

With all the cool new iPhone 3G audio and radio, it’s disappointing that Apple does not find a way to roll Bluetooth A2DP stereo audio streaming into the device. With time, we hope that manufacturers will find a way to provide users with the music from their iPhone to their bluetooth speakers, headphones, stereo equipment and the automotive industry.

The aim of the device lies in its location given. There is still no flash or self-mirror.

Camera

We hope that the iPhone 3G throw, would be a better camera, but we have the same 2-megapixel shooter as in the original, but with a slight improvement in the quality of photo. Natural colors looked, there was little image noise, and within shooting attack had enough light. The camera for white balance can not handle the sunlight, but it is not unusual for a camera phone. See our iPhone 3G camera slide show for a photo gallery. Camera features are also low, and the lack of multimedia and video recordings with us to rub the wrong way.

The iPhone 3G has the quality of photo.

Contacts Search

A search bar is now on your contact list. Enter into any part of the name you are immediately sent to this person.

PowerPoint documents and iWork

We have not tried iWork documents, but we are able to PowerPoint email attachments. The facility is quite large (1.3 MB), but it did not take very long to load. Remember that, as with other Office documents, the iPhone is not possible, the plants.

Bulk delete and move

This works only in your mailboxes. In your inbox, you will see a small “Edit” button in the upper right corner of the screen. If you click on the button, a small circle next to the e-mail. Press to show that the circle is the largest number of messages you want and select “Delete” or “you” options.

Scientific Calculator

As Steve Jobs said in his keynote, you go now a scientific calculator when you use the phone to the side. You see a lot more buttons that a mathematician heart aflutter.

Parental

Here you will find now a “border” of the selection on the General tab in the main menu settings. Here you can access to the browser “Safari”, explicit songs, YouTube and iTunes and iTunes App Stores. You can have as many restrictions as you like.

Select a language.

Language Support

The iPhone 3G also brings language support of keyboards and writing French, Canadian French, English, German, Japanese (QWERTY and Kana), Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Polish and Russian. You can enter as many languages you from opening the “International” for the selection on the General tab in the main menu settings. The Chinese, you choose, Pinyin or graffiti style for writing characters apply. If you sign, the proposals are on the right side. To change between menus, choose the small ball next to the spacebar.

What’s New?

The iPhone 3G offers a multitude of new features, the trivial to report. For the company there is the remote control to delete (to the data in case of theft or loss of phone) and the integration of Cisco IPSec VPN to the Dial-Up Networking. You can also find color and timetable for a new interface for entering passwords. (Now the screen temporarily displays the last character you entered, you can verify that you are not bad.) We have the new ability to the screenshots (the Home button and pressing the ratio of power / sleep key) especially useful. Screenshots can be found in the camera gallery. more information get it here iPhone wholesale

What is missing?

We have already mentioned that Apple deliberately left in the multimedia messaging, stereo Bluetooth and video recordings. But we also want to, we have a landscape keyboard for email, cut and paste, voice dialing, Flash for the Web browser, Tastrückgespräch the touch screen and a memory card (or at least a 32 GB). Apple hoped that it functions in the time. While they could also stated that third-party applications, but Apple should really be for them. We also want the option of sending of calendar and contacts, a simple transfer of files to the iPhone. Because there is no possibility of transmission via iTunes, you have sent to the e-mail files for you to access them on the iPhone. And even then there are no files associated mass storage devices available.

When calling

If we have the original iPhone, we have our Editors’ Choice Award far more than the average quality of the call because of the low volume and a slight background hum. The 3G iPhone fixes most problems – our tests have shown stronger and clearer volume. We have also found that we have better in a variety of factors, while the first iPhone has a sensitive sweet spot. Even then, that it was difficult to hear the original iPhone in environments, we had more luck with this model. Input is not between the GSM and HSDPA calls. We have a large number of error messages, which the iPhone 3G, many dropped calls. Even if we are not well-known problems of our telephone inquiry to the present day, we were at the end of the call when speaking to a label on an iPhone 3G owner.

We have also tested the phone in a rural area of Sonoma County, California. Not surprisingly, our 3G connection is not available, but we managed a EDGE connection in most cases. We have found that, depending on the 3G phone no longer tries to connect high-speed, resulting in a more reliable.

iPhone 3G also allows for an improvement in loudspeaker calls. Phone external speakers produced strong performance, and the callers said they can understand us better. The voice does not seem quite natural, but that is typical for a speaker. Automated calling systems can hear us or by tender. We also have the iPhone 3G Aliph jaw with 2 and a good sound quality. In addition autopairs combined with the bones of the jaw 2, so you do not need a password. As already mentioned, the iPhone 3G the lack of a stereo Bluetooth profile is disappointing.

The AT & T remained a big part during our tests, even though the 3G connection fluttered in the buildings. We heard some users complain about the 3G reception, even in urban areas. We’ve found some problems in our tests, especially with the iPhone 3G the ability to switch back between 3G and EDGE. Hand-off was at times suspect that the iPhone 3G continue to try to connect to the 3G network, even when the signal is too weak. But on the other side of the coin, was quicker on the jump back to the 3G network available. Following the deletion FCC tests, the iPhone 3G digital SAR maximum bid is 1.38 watts per kilogram.

Battery life

Apple iPhone 3G the battery up to 5 hours talk time on 3G and 10 while AT & T’s standard cellular network, 6 hours on the Internet Wi-Fi, or 5 on 3G 7 hours video playback, 24 hours of music and a standby time of 12, 5 days. In our first test we were able to take 4.95 hours talk time and 3G talk 8.75 hours on EDGE. We will continue to further tests in the next few days. What are you waiting for, get iPhones Wholesale now.
