I have the Apple iPhone and it isn't good.
Yes agreed the touch screen and picture editing stuff is great, and yes the internet is quite good, but has tons of flaws.
No Bluetooth as we know it, it does only support a headset and that's it.
No Multimedia messaging, which I thought was so crappy.
The worst thing is you can't have your own ringtones, Itunes has made this impossiblt now, you have to buy a ringtone from itunes which is very limited and then buy the software to edit it into a ringtone etc, absolutely rubbish.
Internet is crap too, i use a java chat room quite frequently and can't even access that, it just keeps saying Safari cannot open this web page etc etc etc.
Believe me people, this phonw is not worth the money and you may think 269.99 is cheap on o2, but considering the 18 month contract and the fact that there are only a choice of 3 tariffs it's rubbish. my tariff is the £35 a month one i get 200 mins and 100 texts with unlimited data, which is crap to say i was originally on o2 paying £30 a month for 400 mins and 1500 texts, it's a rip off phone with contract and if I had known I wouldn't have bought one in the first place.
please make damn sure you want it sooo bad before you buy. oh and 3 days after buying it they bring out a 16gb version and i'm not able gto swap it.
be warned!!!!!

Rock
Please POINT OUT where i said NOKIA revolutionized Touchscreen? Please point it out! quote it
I didn't say such a thing, i used NOKIA AS AN EXAMPLE, they were up to a touchscreen S60 UI before i-Phone was announced, it had been mentioned on MANY FORUMS but it was being slowly developed and once i-Phone hit THEN it was given a thumbs up and faster development, theres no fanboism in that just FACT which you just can't take.

no one can come up with the methods of multi touch used with the iphone bcoz apple have 'pateneted' them so thats the reason no one is comming with the same zoom in/heatsenstive touch screen for now.

I luv the Iphone design and Hype.
But Frankly, they lack of a real communication tools as explain by GSM Review. Check what this phone LACKING before u decided to buy.
Anyhow, this is Apple first step to mobile communication. Looking forward for Iphone 2nd model..

Not realy,many companies like NOKIA had been working on touchscreen UI but wern't sure if consumers would like a touchscreen only device,then i-Phone came and it went well then the companies gave a full go ahead for touchscreen only devices, and anyway they make them better, eg: LG VIEWTY.

From what i've seen this phone has nothing new to offer. iPod is another name for media player. And we all know the TRUTH about how many people world wide use PC's other than MACS. I've not come across a single piece of software that has MAC OSX 10 as the minumum system requirement. The iPhone will be yet another over hyped dissapointment. Stick to iPods Apple, and leave mobile phones to the professionals.
