Good looking
Simplistic
On Screen Keypad not too easy to use

It’s iPhone month so here's the first scoop. What we're going to do is review this ‘Phone Almighty’ one step at a time instead of just thrusting it in your face with all the information there is. Call it an iDissection if you will. My esteemed colleague and fellow reviewer of gadgetry, none other than the incomparable Mr. Laiq Qureshi will be my assisting me in this endeavor as we go into the intricacies of this next generation in mobile technology.

Styled to Tantalize

So first off, let's introduce you to the iPhone in all its glory. How would one describe something like this? In a word – SEX-AH!!! I know that may not be a word (as such) but it really depicts the feeling when you first see it. With it’s glossy black front surface and shiny steel frame and it’s singular button below the brilliantly large 3.5 inch, scratch resistant, 320 x 480 pixel resolution, 16 million color, touch screen display gives the iPhone a classy yet simplistic and chic look and feel.


On the left hand side you’ll notice just the three buttons. At the top is a switch for going into silent mode and just below that are the volume keys. The top of the iPhone is where you’ll find the 3.5mm earphone socket and the power and screen lock button.

If you flip it over and expect to see a camera with a lens cover, flash and what not, you’ll be surprised. It may actually take a moment or two to find a camera at all. Don’t fret people. As most of you already know the iPhone is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera. It’s located in the top right hand corner of the rear. It’s so tiny you could just miss it. Where you might find in most phones, a small square reflective surface near the lens, in the iPhone you’ll find a large Apple logo. Hey as long as it serves the purpose it could be shaped like a banana. Just don’t try sliding the rear panel off. It won’t budge since the iPhone is totally sealed just like the iPod. The whole phone weighs 135g.


And finally, the traditional Apple propriety port is at the bottom of the phone. This allows you to plug the phone into your PC to sync with your iTunes by using even your iPod USB connector or the dock that’s provided. Incidentally, the iPhone's charging dock also has a line out socket.

It has the best possible GUI a mobile device can have. Nothing else special.

Looks like iPhone lacks customization ability that we come to expect in a high end phone. Expect for a little better display it seems to have same rigidity as motoming has...and it goes further and makes battery replacement a CS operation...its craps in usability section. HTC -touch seems a better option

Its becoming the most desireable device in the world not because its a "IPHONE" latest offering from Apple but because of its coolest features and most of all the part is that its value for money in its categary.
