Unless you've been living under a rock, you might have heard of the iPhone...
From the moment Apple announced its iPhone at Macworld 2007, the tech world hasn't stopped asking questions. Because Apple has kept many iPhone details under wraps until very recently, we've been forced to speculate. Until now. Is the iPhone pretty? Absolutely. Is it easy to use? Certainly. Does it live up to the stratospheric hype? Maybe. Don't get us wrong, the iPhone is a lovely device with a sleek interface, top-notch music and video features, and innovative design touches. The touch screen is easier to use than we expected, and the multimedia performs well. But a host of missing features, a dependency on a sluggish EDGE network, and variable call quality--it is a phone after all--left us wanting more. For those reasons, the iPhone is noteworthy not for what it does, but how it does it. If you want an iPhone badly, you probably already have one. But if you're on the fence, we suggest waiting for the second-generation handset. Even with the new $399 price for the 8GB model (down from an original price of $599), it's still a lot to ask for a phone that lacks so many features and locks you into an iPhone-specific two-year contract with AT&T. We'll be more excited once we see a version with--at the very least--multimedia messaging and 3G.
Super, Sexy, Smart. iPhone.

Wicked Friggin' Cool - OK?????
The Wall Street Journal gushes: The iPhone is simply beautiful. It is thinner than the skinny Samsung BlackJack, yet almost its entire surface is covered by a huge, vivid 3.5-inch display. There's no physical keyboard, just a single button that takes you to the home screen. The phone is about as long as the Treo 700, the BlackBerry 8800 or the BlackJack, but it's slightly wider than the BlackJack or Treo, and heavier than the BlackBerry and BlackJack. The Keyboard
It's an electric peach defuzzer! It's a sonogram machine! It's a cheese grater!
Actually, there isn't one. The virtual (touchscreen) keys are large and get larger as you touch them. Software tries to guess what you're typing, and fix errors. Overall, it works.According to Apple's video, "other mobile handsets have tiny fixed physical keys, but the iPhone is much more elegant" in its approach to typing. When typing a Web address into Safari, for instance, the keyboard drops the space bar and adds characters such as the backslash. It also has error correction, which is based on real-time spell checking.
