Is the iPhone still cool? Yup. Amazingly so. Now they are coming out with their new iPhone 3g which promises to be twice as fast and half the price. FreshGeek presents the 4 Reasons you NEED this phone.

1. Bragging rights. Not just for owning an iPhone, but for owning the NEW iPhone. The one with extra speed and all the bells and whistles of the previous models, with more memory. Oh yeah, and you paid much less than the early adopters. This will be short lived because I’m reasonably sure another iPhone is in the works.

2. Style. So what, Japanese phones right now have 21 megapixel cameras, surround sound, blue-ray disk players, and motion sensing controls. Most of these phones lack Apple’s style. The phone is just soooo adorable.

4. Luck with ladies. Women love them. You can spend the $199 on ExtenZe , Pheremone Cologne , The Art of Seduction , and a cheap home gym with little to no success, but everyone will want to touch your iPhone like a dirty Axe body spray commercial.

1. iPhone makes it possible to rearrange the icons on your Home screen, so the applications you use the most are always front and center. You can also swap the icons in and out of the Dock and add up to eight Home screen pages.

2 .iPhone lets you create Web Clips of your favorite websites and web apps, then add them to your Home screen for easy, one-tap access. You now have up to nine Home screen pages for your Web Clips and can organize them however you like.

3. The newest version of Maps allows you to find your approximate location using information from Wi-Fi networks and cell towers. Drop a pin on the map then drag it to a specific location to get directions and real-time traffic information and search for nearby points of interest. The new Hybrid map view lets you see major street names on top of satellite imagery.

4. You can use gift codes to purchase music, movies, and more from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on your iPhone. And if you have lyrics in your iTunes music library, iPhone can display them.

5. Movie rentals have come to iTunes. Now you can download movies on your Mac or PC, then watch them on your iPhone. You’ll have 30 days to view a movie and 24 hours to finish once you start. iPhone displays the time remaining on your rental, lets you navigate through a movie by
chapters, and supports multiple languages.

6. Need to tell several coworkers you just changed a meeting room? Or text a group of friends the time to meet for dinner? Now iPhone lets you send the same text message to multiple people and an update to the same group with just one tap.

With all the buzz world wide about the release of the new 3G iPhone, it’s easy to miss the new about Sprints latest creation with Samsung. This will be the closest thing to an iPhone any competitor has conveyed.

The Instinct is much like the real iPhone with the large touchscreen surface and minimal buttons. They both pack tons of useful features into an easy to use interface.

The Samsung Instinct’s user-friendly interface allows for

• Easy Email
• Web Browsing
• GPS Navigation
• Text messaging
• Watching Videos, Live TV, and Photos
• Listen to Music and Online Radio

The Prices of the two are similar in that they are starting at $199.

If only the Sprint network was in better shape. AT&T’s network still gives the iPhone an advantage in where you may roam, but Sprints Instinct has many quality features that the iPhone 3G is lacking, like

• Video Recording
• Picture Messaging
• Turn by Turn Navigation
• Live Streaming Television service.

Although the iPhone’s touch screen can recognize more than one finger at a time for faster usage, and displays almost 2 times the pixels as the Instinct for a better picture, not to mention more colors available for screening.

iPhone Download Sites Review

Since Apple launched its iPhone a number of sites have appeared throughout the web offering unlimited iPhone downloads. I would like to share my knowledge and experience of such sites with you that has took me hours of research to compile. There are a number of factors anyone must consider before they sign up to such sites as they may cause problems for themselves.

Information you should consider.

1. SECURITY

Are you details safe with this company? Before you go passing your details on you should be aware many sites in all markets are being setup daily to relieve you of your credit card details and then spend your hard earned money. Unless you have researched the site and have read a few reviews then do not even give them your email address, a common mistake many have made is judge the site on its looks and that is how con men want you to think.

2. DOWNLOAD SPEED AND CONNECTION

You need to make sure the site you join has a sufficient download speed as slow speeds not only mean slow downloads but they often fail to complete hence a fast speed is recommended.

3. MEDIA COLLECTION & UPDATES

If the owner fails to carry out regular updates to the site then the chances are it will not be worth its money. Maybe the latest downloads are available now but in 6 months will they have the latest mp3s, movies and games.

Thanks for taking the time to read my iPhone download sites review and I hope it has the information you require to make your mind up. There are many sites that are totally genuine on the web but as explained above there are also others that will take your money and run.

Samsung F700

The Samsung F700 definitely has an iPhone look to it. It is about the same size all around (slightly thicker). But the extra nice touch would be the sliding keyboard with makes for a much better typing interface.

Multimedia- Comes with a small amount of memory, but mini cards can be purchased. It also comes with an internal MP3/Video player. Plus there is a Youtube direct connection also!

Connectivity- Lack of wi-fi is a major downer, but is does feature 3G HSDPA, which makes browsing much easier.

Performance- Nice quick response when moving around the menu, also nice video and music playback. The battery life although i don;t the the exact time is pretty good.

Samsung F700 V.s. iPhone- The win goes to the iPhone is the touch screen department, but the Sliding keyboard is a giant bonus for the F700. The Samsung always wins in the camera, and web surfing categories.
