Last week, I told you I'd let you know if waiting 13 hours in line for an iPhone was worth it.
Yes. Oui. Affirmative. Si. Uh huh. Yup. Ja. You betcha by golly. D'UH!
Is wicked cool still an in expression? If it is, iPhone is the most wicked cool mobile device ever. There are many smartphones that perform similar functions, but none wrap them up in a bundle that's not only stupidly simple to use, but the damn thing is downright addictive. iPhone's 3.5-inch touchscreen is almost as responsive as touching things in the real world, and behind it is the cleanest interface you've ever seen on a handheld. More observations after the jump.
THE ESSENTIALS: APPLE IPHONE
WHO WANTS THIS
Music listeners, mobile Web surfers and YouTube addicts who need to make and receive phone calls and send the occasional e-mail.
WHY
It's got iPod nano capacity — with a 3.5-inch touchscreen. It's great for music listening, Web surfing and video watching; not so good for text entry.
WHAT'S COOL
Everything. Slim minimalist design. 3.5-inch touchscreen. Uncanny interface. Psychic screen. Wi-Fi. Full Mac OS X and Safari Web browser. Direct YouTube access. Google Earth. Having one.
WHAT'S LAME
No 3G HSDPA connectivity. Onscreen keypad not as accurate as a real thumbpad. No expandable memory. Nonstandard 3.5mm headphone jack.
FINAL MARK: A–
The coolest device in recent memory. Many of its minor flaws will be fixed with software and firmware updates. Even its major flaws are overwhelmed by its innovation and pure fun factor.
PRICE: $500 (4 GB) $600 (8 GB)
Check out Apple's website for details.
The finger movements — tapping, dragging, flicking and pinching — that you need to control most functions are as elegant as chopsticks and far easier to master. For instance, a finger flick of a list of contacts will start it rolling, then it gradually slows and stops as if you've physically spun a real wheel. Most of iPhone's touchscreen fluid responsiveness is downright spooky.
iPhone also seems psychic. iPhone knows when its being swung up to your ear to take a call and turns off the touchscreen so you don't accidentally activate an application. When you bring the iPhone away from your face, the screen wakes up so you can tap the "end call" button. Like I said, spooky.
Apple has essentially shrunk down a Mac to pocket size. All its apps are nearly desktop equivalents — the full Safari Web browser (sans Flash, though), HTML e-mail (POP3, AOL, Gmail, Yahoo! mail), address book and calendar syncable with Outlook, Entourage and Mac's Mail and iCal programs — made even more functional thanks to the large screen. Added to these standard smartphone operations are 12 Widgets, including a direct link to YouTube, customizable weather and stock quotes, and Google Maps with a zoomable satellite view of any spot on the planet with an instant conversion to a corresponding road map.
Perhaps iPhone's most useful and innovative feature is the visual voicemail. Instead of slogging through a series of calls, all your voicemails are listed like email. Just tap on the message you want to listen to.
Even the iPhone's media functions — music, video and photo viewing — are improved over its iPod cousins. Flicking through your library on the larger screen or tapping on a letter on small vertical alphabet on the right side of the screen makes finding individual tracks quick and easy. Behind a song's album cover art is a list of tracks by that or similar artists that you can jump to. Turn the iPhone from portrait to landscape and you get scrollable album covers to find different music; Web pages, images and video re-orient themselves and fill the widescreen.
Speaking of images and video, iPhone's glass screen makes all them look high-def. As phone, however, earpiece and ringtone volume are merely adequate, but far less "can you hear me now" when you use earphones.
iPhone's 8 hours of talk time is nearly twice as much as any other cell. You also get 6 hours of Web surfing, 7 hours of video watching and 24 hours of music listening. With normal usage, you likely will only have to recharge every couple of days.
And what's with the recessed 3.5mm headphone jack? Only iPhone-compatible jacks will fit in the damn thing. You'll have to buy an adapter to use your higher-end phones.
For Web surfing on the go, AT&T thankfully juiced up its sluggish EDGE network. But iPhone's Wi-Fi is still three to five times faster, if you can get EDGE, which is not always the sure thing it ought to be. EDGE is adequate, though, for most e-mail.
iPhone's 2-megapixel camera takes surprisingly sharp, bright pictures and the 3.5-inch viewscreen is larger than that on any standard digital camera. But there's no flash, zoom or video.
Then there's the keypad dilemma. You get two: one widescreen for entering Web URLs and a thinner version that appears vertically on the phone when you're using email and text messaging. Apple's excellent predictive text helps, but you'll still make plenty of boo-boos, and numbers and symbols are on a second screen (including the apostrophe, comma and period. Cripes!). A widescreen keypad for e-mail and SMS would be a vast improvement.
Finally, there's battery life. Apple says iPhone's lithium cell is good for about 300 to 400 charges, which maybe gets you a year to 18 months. But you can't swap out the battery, and iPhone's warranty is just one year. Circle a date just shy of a year from your purchase to make sure you don't have to pay Apple to replace the battery.

"Apple says iPhone's lithium cell is good for about 300 to 400 charges, which maybe gets you a year to 18 months."
Actually, they say it's 300 to 400 charge CYCLES. And that's a huge difference. For example, since I've had my iPhone (exactly one week and two days) I've only had two full charge cycles, even though I've docked it at one point or another every day. So the battery should last at about 3 years... and by then, most of us will be upgrading to the next iPhone.
By andisch at 11:16 PM ON 07/08/07
it's no smartphone. it hasn't got full osx OR safari. or google earth (just maps, available for any java phone)
add to lame: can't set ringtones, no mms, no video for the camera (youtube?)
add to pathetic: lower battery life than many real smartphones, no friggin java, no 3-rd party apps (so again NO SMARTPHONE), crashes like hell, can't take spare batteries with you
i won't add more, so you have new stuff to discover
as a bottomline, this is a DUMBPHONE (never call it smartphone again!!!!) with an extremely cool interface, good design and lots of flaws. for the fancy-trendy people, not for people who need a good phone and NO FRIGGIN WAY for any kind of power-user or tech-savvy person...

"Apple says iPhone's lithium cell is good for about 300 to 400 charges, which maybe gets you a year to 18 months."
Actually the Apple site says "A properly maintained iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity after 400 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs."

Well, I decided to stop by my local Apple Store on Saturday to check this thing out. I have to say my first experience with an iPhone wasn't so rosy.
I have to admit, I was impressed with the iPhone:
- elegant tiny design (to be expected to those owning an iPod)
- Safari auto-flipping from portrait to landscape modes by turning the phone 90 degrees
- vibrant OSX-like display
But, I don't consider an iPhone to be a PHONE...merely an expensive toy/iPod, because:
- its minimalist design. I couldn't figure out how to SCROLL up/down the display. There wasn't anything in the display to tell me how to scroll...so I looked for external controls on the phone, but found none.
- the thing runs HOT! I couldn't put it to my ear w/o suffering first-degree burns! Ok, I'm exaggerating...but it was uncomfortable to the ear.
- it running on ATT...I use it, and I hate ATT.
Now, if an iPhone fanatic were to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, consider this:
1) I am not psychic with an iPhone..sorry that's just the way it is.
2) For a phone that's supposed to be so easy to use, why do I need a tutorial to know how to use it?
3) The iPhone has the real-estate to put a nice scroll-wheel on the side.
4) The minimalist approach works well for high-end audio equipment, because the equipment only does ONE or TWO basic things! An iPhone is a much more complicated beast, and therefore function was sacrified for maintaining the illusion of beauty.
But anyway, this doesn't even include the iPhone's other problems...and I found too many after fiddling around with it for just 10 mins...I just put the iPhone down and walked out.
It's not a bad little phone that AAPL's made, but it didn't WOW me in the slightest.
By murdockme at 4:43 AM ON 07/12/07
Well...this is interesting. There's some useful comments here and then there are those that are shall we say a bit embellished. 1st degree burns? Come on. It was not that hot. If it was, you'd not be able to hold it to your face because your hand would have dropped it.
The iphone is a nice piece of gear and so nice that companies have spent money to get it just to bust it open and peek inside. Some are just baffled by how Apple could make something like this. Well it's not the first phone on the market, but it's the first of a new series of phones that you're likely to see copied. Apple was the first and now everyone will want to innovate as they did with the ipod.
Yes, there are some issues with things not being replaceable and when it was demoed in January there was never any talk about things like upgradeable memory, removable cards or batteries or anything like that and people applauded and drooled and then wished for things to happen.
Apple does the things it does now for a reason. Quality control is a biggy. They've seen other products come to market and not do so well. The name ZUNE seems to come to mind.
iPhone sold over 500,000 units in its first weekend of release and continues to sell and sell out daily.
It can't be that bad. New apps are coming on line daily as people can write them quickly.
No Flash? Someone will create it.
Be more optimistic people :-) And I say that with a lotta love.

Sounds like icebeing is confused: complains about no directions, and also complains about needing a tutorial. "Nothing on the display to tell me how to scroll." I suppose you complained because your first mouse didn't have instructions on it, either.
I'll also point out since he (or she) played with the iPhone in an Apple store, it had probably been on for several hours, as hundreds of people have played with it one after another. Show me almost any kind of electronic thingy that doesn't get warm after hours of use.
By EvanCC at 10:46 AM ON 07/12/07
"Show me almost any kind of electronic thingy that doesn't get warm after hours of use."
Well, my Nokia S60-based Smartphone, for one. It also features with expandable memory and replacable batteries, two things I personally use. As with the (relatively) large range of software available for the Symbian platform.
Something that puzzles me is how much people seem to think "It's Apple - it *must* be good/innovative/cool". And when there are problems, it's "It's Apple - they'll sort them out", or "You're missing the point - it's minimalism/you're just used to something else/etc". Other companies are met with "Yeah, typical of them" when problems are encountered. Strange...
By demon12 at 12:52 PM ON 07/12/07
I think that (almost) everyone here is forgetting that this is a 1.0 release, not a perfectly polished product. At least it is stable and just plain works, which is more than other 1.0 releases can say (Vista?). Overall, I would say that this is a wonderful first step in creating something completely new, in a field that didn't even exist a few weeks ago. Apple just needs to keep working on the bugs and polishing it, but there will always be people who say that it's not good enough.

EvanCC has a point, one that I was going to make but he got here first..
"At least it is stable and just plain works, which is more than other 1.0 releases can say (Vista?)"
Um, i think vista is still selling and growing bigger everyday. It works, for a OS its fairly stable and at least it comes fully featured not missing BIG things like 3g, and Java.
"Well...this is interesting. There's some useful comments here and then there are those that are shall we say a bit embellished. 1st degree burns? Come on. It was not that hot. If it was, you'd not be able to hold it to your face because your hand would have dropped it."
Did you read his whole comment? or just up to
"- the thing runs HOT! I couldn't put it to my ear w/o suffering first-degree burns! Ok, I'm exaggerating...but it was uncomfortable to the ear."
that sentance and quit reading that halfway through too? ....
and out of that whole article pointing out the flaws in the ipohone the only one commonly defended was the battery life. Sure its gonna get better as time goes by, but if im gonna pay $600 for a goddamn phone, im not gonna buy an iphone that doesnt have 3g, java, or is on AT&T.

First, you were in an Apple store and couldn't figure out how to use something new... did you ask an employee to assist you? Second, there is no scroll control because it's part of the touchscreen function: you scroll by flicking your finger across the screen. With all the ads from Apple touting that function over all others, you didn't know that?
Second, I understand your feelings, but since that's currently the only carrier (because AT&T/Cingular was the only company willing to modify their network to allow some exclusive functions to work, such as visual voicemail), then you'll either buy one and suffer with AT&T, or not buy one (and I suspect the latter) but just because you don't like AT&T doesn't make a phone NOT a phone.
Third, and this is not about icebeing's review, but about the whole "what's good, what's bad" thing in most iPhone review articles: I think it's wonderful that people who get an iPhone are willing to post their experiences. I have been "drooling" over it since the release of the MacWorld video earlier this year, but I was determined not to buy one right away, and read all the reviews on it before deciding. (I'm already on AT&T so that part's not an issue.) While I still think it's "way cool" the way the iPhone touchscreen and scroll features work, I've learned about plenty of things that don't work as well as expected, and they're all things that make or break the purchase for me. These reviews are very helpful, as long as the reviewer isn't more interested in being dramatic than presenting facts and opinions.
By jebz at 4:34 PM ON 07/12/07
I have to say, man are most of the crazy comments here just way too "over the top"...
There seems to be a lot of hatred for the Apple brand by those who consider PC/Apple in a technology war or something. I used PCs up until my second year in college and I would consider myself somewhat of a technology buff. Once in design school, I migrated over to the mac world and haven't looked back. Why? The comment earlier was interesting:
"Something that puzzles me is how much people seem to think "It's Apple - it *must* be good/innovative/cool". And when there are problems, it's "It's Apple - they'll sort them out", or "You're missing the point - it's minimalism/you're just used to something else/etc". Other companies are met with "Yeah, typical of them" when problems are encountered. Strange..."
I have to say that this does happen to some extent. Why? From my point of view, people tend to be somewhat forgiving because Apple products just seem to work. They do fix glitches and bugs when they come up (rarely compared to the issues I've found with PCs).
Also, a colleague and I were just discussing this earlier today - PCs don't make things intuitive. Ask an average PC user where their files are downloaded to, or how to find their local network. You'll be hard pressed to find a handful of users who do. When you ask a macintosh user, you'll find that they have a better general knowledge of what's happening when they perform a simple task on their system.
But don't get me wrong - my comments are not a source of hatred for PCs or their users. I use a PC everyday for testing websites on IE and such. It's more of an observation of how defensive people seem to get at Apple's overall innovation.
Finally, take into account that whatever your problems are with iPhone - it's more phone wrapped up in one package than anything else in the marketplace. But maybe you can stick to what you know and that will make you feel comfortable.
By kt_m_smith at 5:58 PM ON 07/12/07
I frequent the Apple store on regent street london every day ( the largest apple store in the world) and have to say its all a buzz as the iphone will be released in the UK soon, i can say there is no contest that this will be the largest seling phone in history so far, ( if it already isnt). Apple has the right idea of having one phone with all the features as opposed to Motorola or sony erricson with all different phones with all different features. Now i am no phone expert, but it is plain to see that other companies are going to be fighting to compete with this little gadget regardless. And yes i agree this is only the first edition, look how far the ipod has come since first generation, lol!
and as for izzardfan, all i can say is that i saw eddie on thursday and he was fantabulous
By EvanCC at 7:01 PM ON 07/12/07
If it's of interest, this is what seems to be the best selling phone ever: the Nokia 1100 - http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/07/nokias-1100-handset-over-200-million-served/ - with over 200 million units sold.
iPhone has a while to go yet. We'll see...
By DracoPlatina at 7:12 PM ON 07/12/07
I'm a bit skeptical of this thing... While the concept is nice (I'd kill for something I could run the meebo web IM client on wherever I have cell coverage), it just doesn't appear to deliver. Considering for a moment what -else- I can get for those 600 dollars, I can safely say I won't be picking one up. I'd rather invest in a new computer, or even get a PS3.
Though, I can't say I've had the chance to have my hands on one, the iPhone just has me frowning and shaking my head far too much.

Ask a PC user? That is completely rediculas. Just because one uses a PC they don't know where their files are downloaded to, or how find their local network? Oh, and just because some one has a Mac they know more about computers? If they knew so much, they would be building their own PCs instead of laying out 3,000 for a decent Mac.

I checked out your link in hopes of finding something I'd like, but alas, I've got a deal-breaking requirement: a QWERTY keyboard, whether as part of the software (like on the iPhone, but better) or as part of the hardware (like on the Treo). I'm also looking for something that doubles as a PDA (sync with Outlook for contacts and calendar, upload Excel and Word files) but I don't care about having an iPod/mp3 player built in. I'd love a PocketPC that is a great phone as well, but I haven't seen one lately, at least not one that's available for use with AT&T. I'd go for a slider with no problem. And I thought the iPhone would be great and maybe they'd allow files eventually, but there are so many negative things that I doubt I'll buy one.
By jebz at 8:52 AM ON 07/13/07
Hey Mike,
I was simply stating a common symptom of the PC not being as user friendly as the macintosh. I won't argue with you. All I can say is from the hundreds or so PC users I've met (and often helped out with their PC problems), only a handful really knows what's happening on their PC when they perform even the simplest of tasks...NOTICE I didn't say all PC users. The "average user" doesn't include those who are in the IT industry, those who build computers and those who are probably reading this blog (PLEASE notice that this is also not a literal translation of ALL competent PC users - it seems we have to spell this out for those who take everything as a direct insult to themselves)...
I go back to my original comment that the PC is not very intuitive - that doesn't mean that there is nothing intuitive about the PC world. I don't speak in absolutes because there are none that I know of...so stop taking offense to everything (there I go making a contradiction)...
Have a great weekend!
By sophistre at 2:16 PM ON 07/15/07
It always mystifies me that people are able to get worked up over something like this. It's almost as though the release of a new piece of technology in some way challenges something deeply personal about some people.
I have an iPhone. I like it. There are some features that I miss: the lack of MMS is saddening, because I used to enjoy sharing out pictures with friends. The inability to play some types of youtube videos or videos on the web. The inability to change my ringtones to anything custom. That stuff I do miss.
That said, I've enjoyed the rest of it so much that I haven't minded making those concessions. And in the end, that's really all this is about: will you enjoy owning and using it, when you weigh all of its features (or lacking features) up? If not, then...well. Don't get one.
Seems to be basically a non-issue to me.
By laura123 at 10:21 AM ON 07/26/07
Great review, it's a fun toy isn't it! I'm worried about the battery though and I did some looking for options. Found a site called ipodjuice.com that already has a service that replaces your iPhone battery for less than apple charges. Good to know there are options out there when the time comes.

Ok, so we're watching Boston Legal last night. My husband takes a drink of his coke and nearly chokes to death on it when one of the characters complains that his girlfriend left him for an IPhone (she's an objectophile). He's also in love with his IPhone, you see. In fact, he still giggles when he watches videos on it.
If you're familiar with the way Apple conducts business, you already know the cons of the IPhone. Just like every other product they release, they're so concerned with keeping control over the way it's used that they cripple both the user and the device. What do I mean? This phone is capable of MUCH more than they allow it to do. My husband tried to use some of the programs already written to customize ringtones, etc., only to find that he was barred from using the phone until he deleted the unauthorised content from the phone. Apple literally locks up the phone if you try to use it with third party apps installed.
They never learn. If all things were equal, given the choice between running MacOS and Vista, the vast majority of users would choose Mac. But all things are not equal. Apple makes it difficult to release third party programs - like games - and so most aren't even offered in MacOS format. This may not mean much to businesses, who choose Mac for its easy interface and superior performance in the workplace. But in the home market, Windows wins out mostly because of the better range of programs available.
Bottom line: the IPhone is the bomb, wicked cool, all that, the bag of chips and the 64 ounce big gulp. Apple just needs to let go enough to allow the consumer to truly fall in love with their products.
