Exclusive video:Apple's slab of mobile mastery takes in the sights and sounds of the capital, with T3 in tow.

For British iPhone wanna-owners there's still a thumb-numbing wait until the very end of the year, but here at T3 Towers we've managed to bring Apple's wonder blower to the streets of London early.

We put the Jesus phone through its paces, using Google Maps to find our local chippie and outdo cabbies on their knowledge of the quickest routes across the capital.

The phone's iPod mode came in handy when we were crossing Abbey Road, and the snapper was awesome outside Buckingham Palace. Despite its messianic qualities though, it still couldn't distract the guards on duty.

Coppers marvelled at the wonder of multitouch, kids couldn't get enough of the touchscreen and builders gave it the thumbs up. Doubtless, the iPhone will fly off the shelves come November.

Check out next month's T3 Magazine, on sale August 23rd, for the full low-down on London's reaction to the wonder phone, or take a gander at our exclusive video and pics below to see what the greatest gadget on Earth made of its greatest city.
