Apple iPhone 8GB Cell Phone

The bad: The Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility.

The best analogy I can offer is using the iPhone on EDGE is like having a Way-Cool, supercharged computer but using Dial-up to access the Internet.

On with the review: the iPhone boasts a brilliant display, trim profile, and clean lines , and its lack of buttons puts it in a design class that even the LG Prada and the HTC Touch can’t match.

Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content.

I understand that Apple wanted to reach the broadest market possible at launch and since the EDGE network, but since the phone could have been manufactured quite simply to access BOTH their EDGE and their faster speed networks and just stepped down to EDGE when not in range I find the decision to limit the phone to EDGE a complete miss by Apple.

Better camera than most phones, advanced picture viewing technology, visual voicemail, etc.

Some features, applications, and services are not available in all areas.

The bottom line: Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn’t always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player.

Meanwhile, an accelerometer lets the phone know whether to display in portrait or landscape mode.

The advantages is that it looks really kool, and the screen is like… The first time you saw a psp screen.

Depending on what you’re doing, the touch screen serves as your dialpad, your keyboard, your Safari browser, and your music and video player.

The iPhone offers a full range of wireless functionality with support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.

… the Bluetooth does not support file transfer.

I have literally had to wait for the iPhone to paint website screens, which is like watching a fax come in.

That’s especially troubling, as it completely defeats the biggest advantage of using a GSM phone with a SIM card.

The iPhone, which runs Mac OS X, has full iTunes integration and can also seamlessly sync data with a desktop, including music and videos from iTunes, contacts, calendars, photos, notes, bookmarks and email accounts.

A proximity sensor shuts down the display and touchscreen when the phone is held to the ear.

For this reason, you cannot plug in other headphones, audio lines or output the sound elsewhere unless you use the docking station.

The quad-band GSM + EDGE phone also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0 capabilities.

I did add a laser keyboard which is a great wow factor and WAY easier to use than iPhones quirkly touch screen keyboard.

Plus in August they is launching their EVDO Revision A network to DOUBLE that speed!

Don’t get us wrong, the iPhone is a lovely device with a sleek interface, top-notch music and video features, and innovative design touches.

You could get a full blown Mac laptop computer with Voice over IP and an Aircard running on Sprints EVDO network which is 5X faster than AT&T!

On top of which the service plans START at $60 per month and can climb to $220 per month!
