The best damn iPhone review ever… and, the 1st.
Jun 26th, 2007 by Vikram Rajan
The Wall Street Journal was one of the few select media testing out and reviewing the coveted iPhone. But is it all that it’s cracked up to be… especially for your business productivity?
I don’t believe the hype.
Great review: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB118289311361649057.html?mod=hpp_us_editors_picks
There are some major flaws! Read the end & the middle. And then watch the video.
“In addition, even when you have great AT&T coverage, the iPhone can’t run on AT&T’s fastest cellular data network. Instead, it uses a pokey network called EDGE, which is far slower than the fastest networks from Verizon or Sprint that power many other smart phones. And the initial iPhone model cannot be upgraded to use the faster networks.” - Wall St. Journal review

As the article says: Our verdict is that, despite some flaws and feature omissions, the iPhone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer. Its software, especially, sets a new bar for the smart-phone industry…
NYT had a review out today too. Pretty much the same assessment. The phone does live up to the hype. The other small problems hopefully will be resolved in the next release.
