Strengths: Sleek design, excellent user interface

Weaknesses: None so far. It would be perfect if it had built-in GPS receiver.

Summary: I bought the 8GB iPhone when its price came down to $399. It has 7.3GB left for storage (music, etc). So that's more than my 1st generation 4GB Nano.The iPhone is a full featured PDA phone. The user interface is simply amazing. Its touch keyboard is a little bit slower than hardware keyboard on my Dash, but works fine most of the time (I have small fingers).The only thing missing is built-in GPS receiver (But I think only one of the Blackberries has that feature). With GPS, this device could truly replace all my portable devices. Anyway, the Google Maps feature is still great for that purpose.

Strengths: safari, awesome screen, wifi

Weaknesses: Can't copy contacts from SIM, battery

Summary: So I've been playing with my iphone since last week, and here's what I've found so far: WiFi works great - no problems connecting or switching between networks - and very fast EDGE is not so bad - EDGE is all I can get at work, and its not nearly as slow as I thought it might be. The pages I've looked up all opened within a few seconds - definitely no 2 minute waits so far (as had been mentioned in some reviews) Safari is much better than I thought it would be - especially since I don't use it on my MacBook. But I imported my bookmarks into Safari, and they synced automatically with the iphone - very nice. SYNCING VIDEO- I know the CNET review said you couldn't manually manage videos, but I could - I had the option to add any of several movies in my list, and just checked the ones i wanted - very nice, since that way you can control how much memory video takes up. and videos look AMAZING. SYNCING Music So it only holds 8GB. ok, its not the same as my 80GB ipod, but isn't that what smart playlists are for? It is as much as a Nano, only with video. Activation Very fast, very easy. My phone was activated in about 5 minutes from start to finish. I didn't get my employer's discount, but I already knew that was going to happen, and I didn't get it before. Touch Screen- very responsive, menus are very clear and easy to use. The keyboard is easy to get used to, and much easier then texting with T9 - and I have pretty fat fingers. Also, I haven't had any problems operating one handed - very easy, at least in iPod and Safari modes. So the downside? Can't copy contacts from old SIM to iPhone SIM. What's up with that? ATT offered to sell me a flash drive for ~$20 so I could transfer them to my computer then to iPhone. Crazy. No Flash - I didn't think this would be an issue. But it would be nice to have. FYI, you can't see the weather.com radar in motion. Non-Issues (for me) ATT service - I already had ATT service, so I know what to expect, and here in the middle of fly-over country, ATT has good coverage. Much better than sprint, who I had before. No voice dialing- I had it before, never used it. Never found it useful, since it would never recognize the name I was saying (like Al, or MOM). Non-replaceable battery The only time I've ever replaced a batter is when I dropped my phone in water (a lot of water). So for me, another non-issue.

Strengths: Beautiful Design, Cool interface, great ipod, great phone.

Weaknesses: Edge network a little slow. Needs more native applications.

Summary: By far the best phone I've ever had. Very intuitive interface, great email and internet functionality. The ipod interface is the best yet. The EDGE network is a bit slow compared to today's standards, but what can you say to a 20 dollar unlimited date plan. Bottomline, this phone isn't for the businessman, its a hip/cool phone with some business functionality, but lets face it, it's built to be cool.
