Apple iPhone: User Reviews

It all began in January,
the MacWorld 2007 Keynote that would change the cell phone industry from here on out. Steve Jobs gave the impression that Apple would be rolling out three products, a phone, Internet device, and an iPod. He repeated himself, not once, but twice. Most of the Keynote attendees caught on after he said it once, that indeed this device would be all in one. The crowd up roared when Steve finally said it himself: iPhone

From that day on out, many people were amazed with this product. The world wanted more details, rather than just a phone sitting in a glass case heavily guarded. As months went by, little by little details started to emerging, the most being about 2 weeks from launch all the way up to the day before the launch, as these preview videos, press releases, and the usual what not.
~ Says Nick Sphon in his User Reviews on Brighthand.com

People out there rushing to get iPhones information and features from its officials web site. And, yes it was spread as fast as summer wind woes. As people get the things on their hands, all the pro and contra comments has reveiled.


Here's some which was collected from several resouces / web site. Let's read on and do so as you like here:

"The phone is amazing. Things I wish it had: Stereo Bluetooth, high ring volume and longer vibration, and being able to change ringtones for everything! Other than that its AWSOME!!!!"
by Dan on July 12, 2007

"I bought this phone the day after release, and yes more out of loving Apple's design and products, but I have to say after using it a week it is hands down the best phone/ipod/portable internet I have ever seen. I transfered from Sprint after 7 years and find myself using the data network and "widget" apps (youtube-maps-notes) daily which I never did with my previous phone that I had unlimited data on. It truly is a remarkable device."

"WIRED Elegant yet sturdy design. Innovative interface is not only functional, it's a blast to use. More features than you know what to do with. Excellent calendar and contact management. Seamless integration with your computer. Full-fledged browser and email client.

TIRED AT&T's EDGE network is laughably slow. Limited music volume. Won't work with standard headphones. Text-entry is slow compared with two-thumb QWERTY phones. Browser lacks Flash and Java support. Camera doesn't work well in low light. Limited extensibility—where's my Unix command line?"
By Dylan Tweney July 01, 2007

"But even in version 1.0, the iPhone is still the most sophisticated, outlook-changing piece of electronics to come along in years. It does so many things so well, and so pleasurably, that you tend to forgive its foibles....
by David Pogue, New York Times, June 26, 2007


"It's impressive with what it does, but I think phones such as the Nokia N95 are better! I mean a phone like that with such a heavy price tag you would expect to do more. For starters, the 4GB internal memory is nice, but you can buy 4GB memory cards for all the other phones out there. The 2MP camera is just standard. The Wi-Fi is a nice feature but once again, this isn't a unique feature. It's just the same as the iPod really, people buy it for the fashion. Crazy world eh."
by Nick - Bromley, UK, 17th Jul 2007

Pros: Works as promised.
Incredible ease of use.
Fabulous integration with computer applications.

Cons: Sometimes the Safari browser shuts down for no reason.
Can't manipulate photos sent via email.
Can't download music directly onto the Iphone through the web browser.
