Large crisp bright touchscreen, the touch sensitive controls including zooming into pictures with just two fingers, the 4GB or 8GB hard drive for your MP3 tracks and movies, Coverflow application…The bad include :No 3G connectivity, no video mode for the digital camera, no zoom for the digital camera, no flash for the digital camera, Bluetooth only works with headsets rather than allowing file transfer…
Pocket-Lint Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Well the iPhone doesn’t have GPS receiver built-in, or the 5 megapixel camera with video capabilities and Flickr and Vox plug-ins. The music offering and software interface is certainly better however. The iPhone connectivity with iTunes (version 7.3 of course) is a breeze and anyone who has used an iPod will be right at home with the music software. Additionally Google Maps although sucking power like a leech is also very good. You just don’t get GPS.”

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…”

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.”

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…”

It feels solid and comfortable in the hand and the way it displays photos, videos and Web pages on its gorgeous screen makes other smart phones look primitive.
AllThingsDigital Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “The iPhone’s most controversial feature, the omission of a physical keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard on the screen, turned out in our tests to be a nonissue, despite our deep initial skepticism.The iPhone is missing some features common on some competitors. There’s no instant messaging, only standard text messaging. While its two-megapixel camera took excellent pictures in our tests, it can’t record video…”

The best thing about the way this handles e-mail is that the message content shows up vividly. It nicely manages JPEGs, HTML and PDFs.
Newsweek Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “Web-browsing is where the iPhone leaves competitors in the dust. It does the best job yet of compressing the World Wide Web on a palm-size device. The screen can nicely display an entire Web page, and by dragging, tapping, pinching and stretching your fingers you can zero in on the part of the page you want to read. The 2-megapixel camera works decently. It’s easy to send a picture, make it your wallpaper or—this is neat—assign it to a contact…”

The most remarkable thing about iPhone is what’s missing: a physical dialing keypad and/or full qwerty, or traditional, keyboard.
USAToday Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “One of the best features is visual voice mail. It lets you prioritize the messages you hear first — from your spouse or boss, say — rather than listen in the order in which messages arrived. Just tap on caller names to hear their message; tap “call back” to return the call.IPhone comes with a decent 2-megapixel digital camera. But it lacks a flash or zoom and doesn’t let you shoot video. Taking pictures is a tad awkward.”

The phone is so sleek and thin, it makes Treos and BlackBerrys look obese. The glass gets smudgy — a sleeve wipes it clean — but it doesn’t scratch easily.
NYTimes Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “But the bigger achievement is the software. It’s fast, beautiful, menu-free, and dead simple to operate. You can’t get lost, because the solitary physical button below the screen always opens the Home page, arrayed with icons for the iPhone’s 16 functions.The two-megapixel camera takes great photos, provided the subject is motionless and well lighted . But it can’t capture video. And you can’t send picture messages (called MMS) to other cellphones.”

To be successful, an Apple phone has to sport an iconic Apple design–the Rokr’s dull design did it no favors. Fortunately, Apple fulfilled our expectations this time with a smooth design and an innovative interface.
CNET Reviewed Apple iPhone and gave out “With only one hardware control (a “home” key), iPhone’s real estate is dominated by a huge, 3.5-inch display. From what we call tell, the device looks beautiful with a resolution of 320×480x160 pixels per inch (the highest iPod resolution yet, according to Jobs). The videos and photos look great, and we love that the “smart” screen shifts automatically to a landscape orientation when you start to play a video. One giant touch screen controls the phone, and no stylus is needed.”
