Was just reading a review on that a few minutes ago ... from a technical standpoint they're saying it is the best ipod to date, but that it is heavy, so not ideal for joggers, and that it only has 8 gig of memory ... and not to opt for the one with 12 as the price doesn't justify it. There was also some minor comments about the pad functionality being awkward.

This site has a whole lot of iphone related topics -- from usage, to extending battery life, to hackers and more.

mark from itensecash loves his, and i believe rand from epoch got one.

as i understand it, the iphone doesn't offer a full on high speed internet connection.

It's not heavy at all, there IS no 12 gig version (just 4 and 8) and it IS the best phone I've ever had.

Love mine.. we all got them at Fratmen.. had them delievered to our desks last Monday.

It's not really great for joggers.. but that's what the iPod shuffle is for.

Ah ok, I couldn't find the article again, and was trying to go from memory about the gigs -- knew 8 was in there somewhere!

And their toys....

What can you do?

it's really a lovely piece of machinery... I use it as my alarm clock, my phone, my iPod (unless I'm running)my personal organizer, my portable internet and my camera (the pics are surprisingly good for 2 Mega Pixels.)

That and the glass screen is in pristine condition even after being in my pocket for over a week.

I luv my iPhone.

I really like the visual interface for the phone functions, from large keypad, to list of contacts, flipping thru contacts, and the SMS text messaging display with cartoon like thought balloons representing the texting conversation.

The weather feature, map with traffic congestion overlays, and clock.

E-mail is very clean.

It uses my wireless cable modem/router here at home, and when I'm out it looks for WiFi hotspots, or uses the EDGE network.

Activation took less than 5 minutes.

I will be looking into more uses for the iPhone, including monitoring Banking.

I didn't get it day one, I waited a week and a half.

i dont know any one that has buyed one yet

[Jasun]

We all got them at Fratmen. We had them delievered to our desks on the Monday morning after they came out and we all spent the whole day playing with them.

I was at lunch today and out of the 6 people there, 5 of us had them.

it's going to be the next iPod.. everyone will have one.

the "only 8 gig of memory" is what sticks in my mind.

If there is a God, s/he would have this phone. It's the most beautifully designed piece of hardware and software I've ever seen in my 30 years in the tech industry.

I am waiting on the iPhone to do 2 important things:


1) If I am at the studio within range of my wireless router, I want the phone to do VoIP rather than use the cell tower service (thus saving on my plan's minutes), and

2) Get a skinnier straight shot at my Bank balance.

Pocket devices need lite functions and features.
