This thing is amazing!
I know it's going to break, because it's an iPod and that's what iPods do, but this is really the first mass market phone that will change the way people use their phones.
Qualms: slow EDGE network (why?), inability to use iTunes songs as ringers,
screen has a mild discoloration at the bottom.
Pros: Syncs my Mac Calendar, photos, e-mail, pop3 email, music flawlessly, comes with a real full internet browser, built-in WiFi, Google Maps built in, better than expected touchscreen utility, and as usual, Mac raises the aesthetic and ease of use bars way beyond their competitors. The way you use the phone isn't just useful, it's cool, it's entertaining, it makes me not hate using my phone. Clever stuff.
I almost got a Blackberry but convinced myself to wait a couple months for the iPhone. Glad I did. Maybe I'm biased because all my stuff is Mac hardware, but it makes me glad I own Apple stock. They'll move an incredible amount of these and based on what I've heard about production costs and provider bounties, they should make a killing on them; it just remains to be seen how well they'll hold up.
Bought one for me and one for the woman....
