Don't bother reading the initial iPhone reviews

I'll summarize them here: it's marvelous, amazing and everything they hoped it would be except for...

- Basic phone features: speed dialing, picture messaging, voice dialing etc.

- The virtual keyboard takes some getting used to.

- AT&T's network. Not only is viewing web pages suicidally slow, call quality was average at best when tested in several states. (AT&T ranked the lowest in 19 out of 20 states for call quality. So WHY did they choose AT&T??)

There you have it. I spent hours combing over the initial reviews and reports so you wouldn't have to. It's just my way of saying, "I love you."

  2. You're probably right (on both counts). However, knowing how anal Apple is (theoretically) about user experience, it seems like it would have been wise to go with a carrier who would provide a better experience (i.e. anyone but AT&T).

  3. Agreed on AT&T. Not impressive. So...are you going to get an iPhone? That is the real question...
