Apple iPhone

By Kent German and Donald Bell on 02 July 2007

Despite some important missing features, a slow data network and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated mobile phone and MP3 player.

    This phone will revolutionize the mobile phone industry (or give existing phone manufactures a kick in the pants)

    • Good: Huge bright high resolution screen
      Ample memory (for a phone)
      Interface is amazing
      Multi-touch- in a cell phone!!
      Fast switching between applications
      Great battery life
    • Bad: Only 8GBs for an iPod
      Some missing software features
      Edge is a little slow

    It is knot Perfect, but the iphone will kick off as much as the ipod has, i mean look how many people have said it is good, and they have not even seen it in real life.

    • Good: its one of the best ipod yet
    • Bad: could do with bluetooth and other things that are pretty stranded in most phones.

    I cant decide whether to buy the N95 now or wait for the I-Phone at the end of the year.
    What should I do?

    • Good: Huge screen with great colours - easy to use touch screen - Looks cool - navigation - fast internet - e.mail -
    • Bad: No videocalling / 3G - could do with a better camera - no AV out
      ie. N95 features. If it had these, it would be the best phone ever.

    • Good: New interface, sleek, combines several products
    • Bad: Have to wait till next revision for 3G, more storage and a better camera

    i work at apple and i tested the prototype of the apple iphone.... although the prototype was not the full version some of the prototypes have a camera and some dont.. so thats why there is that rumor. However, all the prototypes the battery life is shorte.. not in real life... the multi touch capibility is outstanding.. its great

    • Good: the phone is made by one of the companies most relied in the US and it works for both mac and pc.. and everything else
    • Bad: only a 2.0 megapixel camera... very delicate screen.. but how else is there suppost to be a touchscreen?

    i need this phone. badly.

    • Good: every single thing. simply because they are made by designers who actually know what they are doing.
    • Bad: the megapixel camera can definitely be improved - nokia's offering 5mp with its N95 - but no complaints. =D
