Pros: Easy to learn and use, awesome touch screen
Cons: No 3G, way too proprietory to customize, no MMS!
The Bottom Line: If I had the luxury of waiting, I would wait until Apple steps up to the plate and fixes the issues mentioned here. Especially the lack of 3G/high speed.
Review: I want to say first that I purchased the iPhone because my Razr had some major issues and after a long fight, AT&T finally refunded me a good portion of my money on it. Looking at my choices, I found it actually cheaper to get the iPhone with a new 2... Read Full Review by DrJavaago, May 25, 2008
Author's Rating:
Pros: pop-up keyboard, touch screen interface, size
Cons: service plan, battery replacement, sound quality
The Bottom Line: I love this phone. It is easy to use, and has a lot of cool features that outweigh the few negative aspects of the phone.
Review: A new generation of cell phones is upon us. Long gone are the days of bulky, green screen, black text, one-ringtone cell phones. Here are the days of a cell phone that is light weight (4.8 ounces to be exact), fits nicely into the palm of your hand,... Read Full Review by coffeegal224, May 12, 2008

It's the Little Things That Make it Great
Author's Rating:
Pros: Easy to use, great features, attention-getting, impossible to live without.
Cons: Attention-getting, finicky sometimes, jack not compatible with all headphones, EDGE can be sluggish.
The Bottom Line: If you are a technology lover and can handle the attention and the occasional hiccup, then the iPhone is calling your name.
Review: I originally did not plan on jumping on the iPhone bandwagon when it came out in the summer of 2007. A month or so after it came out, I went to the Apple store at the local mall and played with one for a few minutes. I still found it cool but not worth...

An Amazing Device that is Still Developing

The Bottom Line: This phone will work for anyone. Don't worry who you are in terms of a user. I gurantee you will enjoy its capabilities.
Review: Well, I don't need to go in detail what an iPhone is. I'm sure Apple got their message accross to many Americans and probably even to many people in the very remote corners of the Earth. The phone has everything you can think off, like Apple says,... Read Full Review by smartartur, Mar 19, 2008
Author's Rating:
Pros: Easy updates through Itunes, good customer service, great tool for staying connected
Cons: expensive, must use the AT&T network, few programs are available.
The Bottom Line: This isn't your grandmother's phone. It is great for people who need to stay connected. Expensive--but worth it for some of us.
Review: My husband bought his phone the day they came out, and I bought mine in September. So far, we've been happy with our purchases. Some of the phone's features are more useful than others. Phone: The phone has a scrolling address book which is very... Read Full Review by rustysgirl, Feb 23, 2008
Author's Rating:
Pros: Full Internet, Massive storage, Great design, Superb battery life.

The Bottom Line: The iPhone is a superb piece of machinery that would look fantastically stylish in the hands of anyone.
Review: Since purchasing the Apple iPhone it has definitely lived up to my expectations, and if anything it has in fact surpassed them. I've found it hard to put the phone down since I bought it, and the features that the phone beholds are astounding; a 2... Read Full Review by weevilite, Feb 8, 2008

And then it happened... people were lined up at... Read Full Review by kzdad, Feb 7, 2008
The Regular Chick and The Apple iPhone.
Author's Rating:
Pros: easy to use, does the job of 3 different devices
Cons: expensive, internet and typing could use some improvement, must use AT&T
The Bottom Line: The iPhone didn't disappoint. I love it!

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,... Read Full Review by njchicaa, Feb 6, 2008
Software Upgrade Goes in Right Direction
Author's Rating:
Pros: Beautiful; multi-function; increased flexibility with new SW; good audio with speaker, headset, and bluetooth;
Cons: Map has no scale indicator. Hard to place dropped pins, no cut and paste function.
The Bottom Line: Worth the price if you appreciate excellent design and integration with your desktop computer.
Review: Does Epinions need another iPhone review? Perhaps not, but I thought it would be useful to comment on the January 2008 software upgrade. As background, I was one of those people in a line on June 30th, but only starting around five p.m. I was about the... Read Full Review by miamc, Jan 29, 2008
Author's Rating:
Pros: great ipod, brilliant internet, easy usage, beautiful screen, simple to operate
Cons: no third party applications, only available on AT&T, slower 2G network
The Bottom Line: If you are already an AT&T customer, it's a no brainer. If you're on another network, it is a good reason to switch, and generally worth the early termination fee.
Review: I am a macintosh guru by profession, and have been on apple computers since before the mac was invented, and long before macs were cool, so of course I was in line on day one when the iphone went on sale. I came from owning a Treo, and having... Read Full Review by Vdowiz, Jan 26, 2008
Outstanding phone with significant hitches
Author's Rating:
Pros: Sharp screen, broader internet experience, great on-screen keyboard, google maps.
Cons: EDGE-only support, no Flash in Safari, weak PDF support, several email issues, no discounts.
The Bottom Line: Apple needs to make good on it's promise of a full featured internet experience. An excellent launchpad where Apple hopefully will reintroduce a Newton-like device
Review: After it's success with it’s iPod product line. It only seemed logical that Apple; a company that finally broke back into the forefront of technology in the late'90s would eventually release a product just as revolutionary as the original iPod. While... Read Full Review by locutus0101, Jan 22, 2008

iPhone: Voice and Data Heaven with Some Flaws
Author's Rating:
Pros: The perfect marriage of voice and data.
Cons: A whole set of annoyances that may turn you off.
The Bottom Line: For those looking for the perfect marriage of their voice and data lives, the iPhone is the only way to go.
Review: When Steve Jobs took to the stage and introduced the iPhone, I blew it off. I figured the iPhone with its ridiculously high price tags ($599 for the 8GB version and $599 for the 4GB version) was going going to be the next PowerMac G4 Cube or the...

Everything you could want (almost) in the palm of your hands!
Author's Rating:
Pros: Revolutionary device, merges 2"essential"devices into one. Internet on the go!
Cons: Little official support on software development, thus slow advancements in software choice
The Bottom Line: Can't go wrong if you are looking to reduce the amount of stuff in your pockets and want a device that can do everything you want!
Review: Most likely the most anticipated cell phone ever - Certainly the only cell phone that caused a massive line up and camp outs outside a store! But does it live up to the high expectations people place upon it? First of all: I use the iPhone in Canada... Read Full Review by jcyc5, Dec 17, 2007

Review: I've owned quite a few cellphones over the years, and generally switched to PDA/Smartphones when they first came onto the scene. (I'm a big believer in the idea that portable devices should do as many function as possible, to eliminate the need to carry... Read Full Review by kingtj, Dec 1, 2007
Phone: Sucks Interenet Browser: Space Age Fantastic.
Author's Rating:
Pros: Best portable cellular signal internet access device on the market.

The Bottom Line: Provide you can get a signal and you need internet access, this is a great tool.
Review: I'll try to give my review describing a phone call. But first, frankly I think as a phone the iphone sucks. Read below why. I bought it essentially to get internet access on the road when I can get a AT&T signal. AT&T cell signal performance:... Read Full Review by danewayne, Dec 18, 2007

Great multimedia phone, but has it's flaws!!!

Pros: Touch Screen, Music/Video playback, Pictures, Web Browser, voicemail, text messaging
Cons: Lack of 3g, internet lacks functions, keyboard, can't record video
The Bottom Line: Wait for version 2 to come out in January. It should be well worth the wait.
Review: The iphone will go down in history as one of those special consumer products that changed it all. While it is revolutionary as far as what to expect out of a phone it is, what I like to call, a great multimedia phone at best. What doe that mean? It means...

I caved... got one (first generation) but no regrets so far!
Author's Rating:
Pros: Slick interface, merging of phone, PDA, ipod, camera, (GPS?) device all into one.
Cons: Generation 1, lacks storage, short battery life, email flow could be better
The 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.
Review: 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.

Review: 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... Read Full Review by LSMillers, Oct 13, 2007
Without question, the best phone I've ever owned
Author's Rating:
Pros: Great for music, syncing calendars, sending email, browsing web, no HotSync bullcrap and it's moddable.
Cons: Horrible bluetooth, no cut and paste; would love more hard drive space. No Safari javascript.
The 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.
Review: 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...

Cons: version 2 will certainly be better.
The Bottom Line: Trendy, gorgeous and easy to use. This phone is a winner.

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... Read Full Review by amykhar, Sep 6, 2007
So here's the real deal on this Apple, with a small worm in it!
Author's Rating:
Pros: Unique styling, no buttons except POWER and HOME!
Cons: Has some things that have to be worked out, some serious!
The 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!
Review: 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... Read Full Review by DennisM, Sep 8, 2007

A Different Perspective - Please Read Before Purchasing
Author's Rating:
Pros: Wonderful iPod...
Cons: ...but it was supposed to be a phone too.
The 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.
Review: 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,...

Cons: Can take a while to get used to the touch screen and all the functions.
The Bottom Line: Can you really live with an iPhone addict?
Review: 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... Read Full Review by Freak369, Jul 1, 2007
Author's Rating:
Pros: Museum quality design, large screen, virtual keyboard, excellent web browser&video/music player
Cons: Runs on dinky ATT wireless, no copy/cut/paste, no flash cards, limited add-on software
The 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
Review: 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... Read Full Review by aashok, Oct 23, 2007
