Argh! Where is my charger?!? And why doesn't my old charger work?
Power is a real problem with the iPhone 3G. I find myself charging the unit overnight every day. ...
Style
There's one thing that Apple has that the LGs and Nokias of the world don't have, and that's style. As soon as the iPhone 3G arrived, a raft of immitators showed up in it's wake. I won't rehash the reviews others have made, but it's enough to say that the ...
