Summary

For months I have been seeing adverts for the Apple iPhone. It's a freakin' phone, not the second coming of Christ but you wouldn't think that is the case with new iPhone owners. Two weeks ago the bedlam began; Tommy wanted to get his hands on the...

Strength

No-glare screen, internet browsing, built-in iPod, 8 gigs of memory.

Weakness

Can take a while to get used to the touch screen and all the functions.

Bottom Line

Can you really live with an iPhone addict?

Summary

WHAT IS IT & WHY DID I BUY IT ? After all the media hoopla and noise over this much anticipated product, my inner gadget geek was doing cartwheels when I heard the release date of 06/29. It is darn sure to catapult AAPL to over $160 per share...

Strength

Museum quality design, large screen, virtual keyboard, excellent web browser & video/music player

Weakness

Runs on dinky ATT wireless, no copy/cut/paste, no flash cards, limited add-on software

Bottom Line

This is a superb media player, has a fast web browser, but with mediocre telephone/PDA functionality. It does not work on Verizon Wireless. Not as versatile as the Treo

Summary

I am no technophile. I can use my laptop to surf the net and send emails, I can take decent pictures on my digital camera, and I am proficient enough on cell phones to make calls and send text messages. Don’t ask me how many gigs the hard drive is,...

Strength

easy to use, does the job of 3 different devices

Weakness

expensive, internet and typing could use some improvement, must use AT&T

Bottom Line

The iPhone didn't disappoint. I love it!

Summary

This is the first product that got me excited enough to write a full-blown review in years! I had been lusting for this beauty since the almost "too good to be true" commercials started airing. What? A phone that was simple to use? A screen that was...

Strength

Easy to use, fun to play with, works well, lots of great features!

Weakness

No discounts on service. Who knows what bugs could be lurking?

Bottom Line

I love its sleek design, ease of use, colorful display, and quick access to email and the web. It packs a lot of features into a great little package.

Summary

Maybe I should have waited, but then I'd be missing all this joy. I am an early adopter, and sometimes this has burned me. I bought an Apple TV recently to have them come out with a better version three months later. I bought a Playstation 3, and now...

Strength

gorgeous screen, easy to use, fun.

Weakness

version 2 will certainly be better.

Bottom Line

Trendy, gorgeous and easy to use. This phone is a winner.

Summary

1 - Disclaimer Before I begin this review, I should offer a disclaimer: I love Apple products. Generally, when good old Steve walks out on stage to give a Keynote presentation about the newest gadget, my hand starts reaching for my wallet. As a result,...

Strength

Wonderful iPod...

Weakness

...but it was supposed to be a phone too.

Bottom Line

If you absolutely must have an iPhone, go for it; but, if you're looking for a good product, hold out for 2nd or 3rd generation.

I caved... got one (first generation) but no regrets so far!

Summary

About Me: Windows user (though I'm getting more and more interested in the iMac's), previous iPod mini owner, Treo 650 owner (almost $600), Canon DSLR owner. Okay, I do a LOT of blog and RSS reading and I know that there are at least 20 new articles a...

Strength

Slick interface, merging of phone, PDA, ipod, camera, (GPS?) device all into one.

Weakness

Generation 1, lacks storage, short battery life, email flow could be better

Bottom Line

If you expect this to be a phone/ ipod, go for it! If you expect this to replace your Blackberry or be your mobile command center... well, good luck.

Summary

I know I'm going to sound like a true homer, but if you love a product, you want to spread the love - god knows we've all been burned by high priced products we wish we never owned (I paid $600 for the Nomad Jukebox when it first came out - consistly...

Strength

Great for music, syncing calendars, sending email, browsing web, no HotSync bullcrap and it's moddable.

Weakness

Horrible bluetooth, no cut and paste; would love more hard drive space. No Safari javascript.

Bottom Line

You want no nonsense web browsing, sending email, texting, decent phone quality and superior mp3 playback on a phone? The iPhone is your answer.

Summary

Okay, okay so I did it! Went out and bought the IPhone! Don't ask me why. My service provider prior to this was Verizon and it absolutely stunk in this area! No service at all! They had promised me for two years that it would improve, but it never did...

Strength

Unique styling, no buttons except POWER and HOME!

Weakness

Has some things that have to be worked out, some serious!

Bottom Line

There are a few "bugs" that have to be worked out with either software or hardware revisions, but still a gorgeous piece of electronics!

Summary

Not for "CrackBerry" addicts or techno-geeks, but for everyone else who wants the ultimate all-around smart phone. We've had his-and-her 8 GB iPhones for two months now, and we're still delighting in all the amazing features. It's been said that "the...

Strength

Internet access anywhere, along with your emails, songs, photos and videos; high-res, touch-sensitive screen

Weakness

poor email keyboard, slow AT&T EDGE internet, no word processing, spreadsheet programs or storage.

Bottom Line

Phenomenal internet use for a handheld device, great voicemail and email features, a great iPod, and many other innovative features. Packed with technological innovation.
