    A great phone and a great organiser, with an iPod built in, but the price remains eye-watering. Read more

    So, whats the conclusion for the iPhone? If you have deep pockets and love your fashion then maybe you should get yourself an iPhone . For everyone else, we should really compare it with the competition. What does the iPhone have over the likes of the Nokia N95, LG KU990 Viewty, Sony Ericsson W960i or the Nokia N81? Well, it has to be the huge touchscreen user interface that is truly a dream to use. The media player, as you would expect from apple really is top class,... Read more

    The iPhone has been three years in the making. Apple’s designers have been working on it for eons, and the web has been buzzing about Apple’s entry into the phone market for just as long – or maybe even longer. But now, six months of intense speculation has ended, and the iPhone is out (in the US at least). Since its introduction at Macworld Expo, we feel like we’ve talked about nothing else. So is it up to scratch? (No touchscreen-related pun intended). Well,... Read more

    Over-priced, over-hyped and - soon - over here, the iPhone proves yet again what the iPod demonstrated: that great software can beat good hardware. The iPhone succeeds because it takes a stack of useful web services, makes them look pretty and easy to read, and gives them to you almost anywhere. Crucially, this is not a phone that's accumulated PIM, music and web features over time, it's a fully integrated device from day one that presents all the information you want in... Read more

    You do amuse me CrusaderUK, you're so bitter! The iPhone is awesome, i've just bought one, its not even here yet....boiling over yet Crusader? I also bought the Sony UX 1XN the minute it launched for £2k and I didn't even flinch, when it dropped to £1k a few months later. You see Crusader, people with money aren't scared of risk, people without are. Saying the latest iPhone isn't hot, is like saying if you were offered a Ferrari or a Mini you'd choose the mini! My...

    This phone, I bought on Saturday and it is now Monday, had taken over my life. I cannot stop playing with the thing. Its amazing. I just don’t get what peoples problem are. Yes it doesn't have Bluetooth for file sharing but the iphone user can either send the file/photo by email (or various other means) or if someone wants to give the user a file, then they could probs find it for themselves on the internet which is FREE. Yes it doesn't have video but the cameras... Read more
