The iPhone’s very attractive new visual voicemail feature, its integration with contacts, and the drop dead simplicity of setting up merged conference calls make the iPhone a significant leap ahead of more basic smartphones.
Apple Insider Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “While the iPhone’s Safari is very good, there are a variety of web features that do not work, some due to assumptions made by web developers that all their viewers are all on desktop PCs equipped with a mouse…Having a much larger screen with a much higher resolution (480×320 at a very sharp 160 dpi) means the iPhone is actually very good at playing videos. Its touchscreen sensitivity feels perfect; it does not require applying any pressure. It does require using a naked finger, as the screen senses electrical capacitance…”

Apple had to refresh its music-player line. It also had to compete with phones that are getting music storage and playback capabilities comparable to the most popular iPods.
Seattle Times Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “It’s fun to dial with the touch screen, but there were shortcomings. Amid stalled traffic at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, I tried calling my parents and using the speakerphone. Even at maximum volume, I couldn’t hear what was being said.The iPhone makes it easy to view and e-mail photos, but its camera doesn’t zoom, take video or capture as many pixels as some other high-end phones. It will soon seem rudimentary.”

The speakerphone is perhaps a little too quiet (the same goes for music playback), but with headphones the iPhone can really crank up the volume, especially music.
Yahoo Tech Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The display is hands-down the centerpiece of the device. I’ve never seen anything like it in years of testing cell phones. Imagine the best and brightest laptop screen you’ve ever seen, then shrink it down. That’s what the iPhone looks like, and the glass overlay makes it even clearer. No other phone comes close. The screen smudges easily, of course, but it wipes right off on your shirt or pants.”

The iPhone is a lifestyle phone, not a business phone. Its onscreen keyboard is surprisingly workable, but still can’t hold a candle to a true QWERTY (even a small one) if you have lots of words to hash out.
GadgetLab Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “You can view, but not edit Office documents. And while additional applications are available to extend the iPhone’s capabilities, developers can’t directly access the underlying operating system, which means the full range of potential is still subject to Apple’s omnipresent control. In other words, it’s far more open and customizable than the typical phone, but far less so than the typical computer.”

When looking at the iPhone, one can see how simple and elegant it is. The first and foremost thing that is noticed is the large, 3.5” screen on the front.
PhoneArena Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The camera interface is very simple. There are only two options available: take a picture or view the pictures. Anyone expecting something more complicated or with more settings will be disappointed.When using the browser, you can zoom into any point on the screen by double tapping on the screen. There is no real way to control the amount of zoom…”

Apple delivered the best handheld Web browser, just as promised: Safari, here, is gorgeous. It loads pages relatively quickly—even over AT&T’s supposedly slow EDGE network—and then lets you drag around and zoom into them.
PCmag Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Call quality isn’t up to par, key messaging features are missing, and that virtual keyboard is really frustrating. If it’s fun you want to have, however, this is basically an iPod with Internet, YouTube, beautiful graphics, a camera, and a huge screen—it can also make calls and check email.The iPhone’s 2-megapixel camera has no options. The interface has one button; touch it and the iPhone will quickly take a 2-megapixel, 1200 by 1600 picture…”

Nokia 6500 Classic was originally issued in silver, but some focus-group members noticed that this paint doesn’t belong on handset. That’s why in March they rolled out a black-colored model and only then the one in bronze.
Mobile-Review Reviewed Nokia 6500 classic and gave out “This handset has 2mpx camera (CMOS) which is not that much by today’s standards, but it is still pretty enough for a middle class model. Nokia decided not to bet on camera part, it is more of an optional feature. This is why camera’s module that was selected for 6233 is one of the cheapest, and provides average quality, if not to say bad one…”

Call quality was excellent when talking via the handset–callers sounded crisp and clear.EV-DO speeds on the LG Muziq really make surfing the Web a dream.Pages loaded in mere seconds, the streaming video wasn’t pixelated, and there was hardly any rebuffering.
CNET Reviewed LG Muziq and gave out “The good: The LG Muziq has an attractive design, a rich multimedia feature set, stereo Bluetooth, EV-DO support, plus access to Sprint’s array of 3G services. We especially liked the inclusion of a built-in FM transmitter and the performance speeds.The bad: The LG Muziq’s touch-sensitive music controls can be tricky to use, and we weren’t too thrilled with the skinny side buttons. Speakerphone quality wasn’t too great either…”
