Mr Funk,

The main attraction for me getting the iPhone, isn't the features. It's the interaction and the overall user experience. I recently bought and returned my Helio Ocean, because although it had a billion features, it was utterly unusable.

The iPhone isn't perfect, but it'll still beat every phone out there in terms of usability.

I think for $500, a hot asian woman should go home with you, set up your phone, and give you a reach-around while you get used to its features, but that’s just me.

Don’t forget about the review from Guy Kawasaki. Well, it’s far less a review of the iPhone and more a rebuke of apple for choosing AT&T: http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/06/my-iphone-revie.html I’m actually still waiting for him to review it…

It is definitely tempting, but … nah, not yet. I can totally see the appeal, but I’ll wait a year or two and see how it shakes out (and if AT&T does anything to improve its dreadful customer service).

That is a nice touch.

It's too bad people are so rabidly opinionated that they missed the point of the post.

Take out the phone, replace it with a 100Gb+ HD, Keep the WiFi if possible, and I’m there. Till then, no thanks.

I’m immune to the hype. The word “Touchscreen” killed it for me: I’ve used touchscreens in a variety of devices, and they’ve never been good.

Why does anybody still want an iPhone? How on earth can you justify giving cingular (?) so much money, and they won’t let you use your mp3s as ringtones? IT’S AN IPOD WITH A PHONE IN IT ferchrissakes. Why should you have to pay to use your mp3s as a ringtone??? My 6131 can do that, and it was like US$200… I really thought telstra were the pinnacle of cellular evildom until I learned what you guys cop from your providers…
