Expert Review
PhoneArena's user ratings for the iPhone 3G were consistently strong on build quality and performance, while camera quality and battery life scored more modestly, reflecting its unchanged 2MP camera and persistent battery complaints.
VERDICT
A meaningful upgrade over the original thanks to 3G and GPS, and the phone that opened the door to the App Store ecosystem.
