I guess this guy is not buying an iPhone any time soon, or ever.

Excellent summary.

Man was made with two pockets. In one pocket goes the phone. In the other pocket goes the media player. Never the twain shall meet....................
.......We all want the ultimate convergence tool.....
.............The holy grail, the phone and the media player can do as much as each other can do. The i-Phone is not that device. It doesn't do as much as the latest phone and it doesn't do as much as the latest media player. It fails in what it sets out to achieve. Plus, it costs as much as a B2 stealth bomber. Stinky.

Having actually used an iPhone, I think it has more upsides than down. The multi-touch screen is awesome, the wifi internet browsing is great (way better than other smart phones of the same price range), the ipod is as good as any other comparable player, the video is stunning and the integration of the widgets and other apps on the phone is seamless. The ability to update and add to the phone via the software update is also nice. However there are some definate downsides. The biggest is At&t, they are terrible to deal with, the lack of 3g tech, only sms messaging (no mms), non replaceable battery, and my favorite no custom ringtones (for a mp3 phone that is unacceptible). There is also rn=mours of an iPhone nana which will have fewer features, but a smaller size and use the old click wheel as a navigation rather than multitouch.

Early adopters and apple fans will eat this phone up. It is a cool gadget. However as a dedicated phone it is lacking.

Here is a link about the iphone nano:

There's something like a $150 cancellation fee on those things.

I've used one, too. It's cool, but too heavy and wide for me to carry around in my front pocket. That's enough to turn me off right there. I don't want a phone that I can tell is on my person with every step.

Yeah they are a little heavy. In fact my initial reaction o hilding the iPhone was that the phone was far heavierthan I had expected. Still a cool toy .
