Ok just a quick update on day 2.
So far, not very good.
The novelty of the handset gets old, Fast! If i want to change the artist im listing to i dont want to have to go through tilting the phone the right way, scroll through hundreds of album covers, just to change track.
The handset after less than 24 hours, has stopped charging with the main charger, it will only charge through the USB port.....
All Youtube videos, and distorted and don't render properly (blacks being replaced by bright greens).
The Wi-Fi on the handset is very hit and miss. My PC uses a wifi adaptor and has a nice strong signal all the time, the Iphone will drop the connection alot and has a very weak signal.
Maybe this is because its the first batch for the UK but so far im not as WoWed as i thought i'd be....

j2. If you must have a gps then you will not find it in the i phone. htc has it in some of their phone's, nokia n95, i mate, also if you buy the i phone apple put's rescriction's on you. no video recording, no bluetooth transfer, no song's as ringtone's unless you PAY. 150 dollar's to unlock. no voice dialing. according to this other guy you don't need gps. i guess he can see street sign's at night alot better than we can.

Apple is made of steel and glass and not a cheap plastic.

i was surprised to find out from i phone user that there is no navigation only map's and start and finish ,how to get there, which is still o.k, but i prefer navigation if i'am in an area i don't know especially at night. try reading some street sign's at night.

I work for a company in the Uk, and i have the I-phone to have a play about with for a while.
So far impressions - Really Good.
The things that stand out in this phone are:
- Safari browswer, without a doubt the best mobile web browser around, super sleek, fast and easy to use, nothing comes close so far.
- I-pod section of the phone fantastic, flipping through album art like the I-touch, 3mm headphone jak, loudspeaker is very quiet though for a music phone, through headsets, sound is top notch.
- Photo browsing is a delight, as well as watching videos, the screen is fantastic, crystal clear, nice and big, photo manipulaion is great fun, and the "Pinch" teechnology for zooming is ace.
Only had the phone for a few hours so far, some not so great aspects:
- The camera is poor, this isn't a camera phone, you shouldn't expect miracles and you won't get them. No video recording either.
- The handset itself gets very warm after only a few minutes of web browsing, nothing major but diffently wasn't expecting that amount of heat to be given off.
- Pre-selection of ringtones/message tones, pathetic in this day and age, the whole buying ringtones off I-tunes is another way to rip people off by apple.
- No multi-media messaging, dudes cummon, really dissapointing for a phone released in 2007.
- The handset it's self is very heavy, not horribly so, but still fairly chunky, its also a major fingerprint magnet.
Overall not a bad experience, but it's apples first go and they did a good job.
I think i'll wait for their 2nd attempt though.

if you enable 3rd party support for the iphone YOUR WARRANTRY IS VOID. Do not do this, especially if you know anything about apple. lots of apple products break before warrantry. e.g., my ipod shuffle did. only way to repair is send off to apple, who will know you installed 3rd party applications, and will NOT repair your phone, as the warrantry is VOID.

I'm not sure where you got your information, but it's obvious you never actually used the phone. The UI is VERY user friendly.. in fact, that's one of the most touted benefits of OS X. I was able to hand the phone to my gf's mother who hasn't used anything other than a simple simple phone for her entire life, and she was able to navigate around, play with pictures, and everything with ease.
The picture quality is amazing for a 2MP camera, and it is very easy to use with one hand. Maybe you have tiny tiny hands, in which case I can understand.
And, most important, it's VERY easy to enabled 3rd-party support. Sure maybe it's not officially supported yet, but it works now, and in February, Apple is releasing their SDK which does nothing but welcome MORE 3rd-party developers.
All in all, it's a great, easy to use phone, with a slightly-expensive yet easily justifiable price, IMO.

Iam sick of hearing about n95,had it sold it because of the usual probs thats been stated over and over again..
The rzr v3 come out with 5mb memory and could not video record till a software upgrade allowed it too,it has vga camera,low res screen, so how come its sold over 100 million fones ?? Its the design of it and it was gorgeous and so is i phone so it will sell too.. not everybody wants top camera and so on!! most people only want all bells and whistles to show off they never really use them realistically..The i-phone is a materpiece and things will improve when third party apps come along ,,,,just remember some people in my area still use n3310 and it does wat they want which is talk and txt so why should the i phone have to do everything its good at the features it has and if its not to your spec then there are 100s of other fones to choose from

I had many phones past 2 years, i mean all kind of brands..Last one was N95 and i keep it about 1 month..It was great phone, but i didnt like the cheap keypad and loose slider, and also it was Restarting by it self 2-3 times each day..Now i have Iphone about 1 month, and this is perfect..I know there is no Blue-tooth, no mms or video recording, but still im happy with this phone, because i don't need video or mms..For video recording i have perfect video camera, and for bluetooth, i can use my headset with iphone..Im sure you not using mms, bluetooth ( picture transferring) or video recording every day..
