How amazingly over-hyped is this product? Its obscene
I seems to me that most of the reviews are telling prospective customers what they want to hear and riding the huge wave of collective euphoria that is coming with its release.
To me, its just going in such a completely different direction from normal mobile tech that it simply can't be any replacement to what I have at the moment.
I could probably live with no MMS however, no video and no A2DP rules it off my list straight away; I couldn't depend on the iPhone alone on a day to day basis. I'm not even sure it has Bluetooth?

Its a great phone for Americans, where they rarely see a good phone. But for us, who get all the cellphone goodies, its still far from being an ideal phone.

So, you think these reviewers are talking crap? How long have you been using your iPhone for? Obviously you think you're better qualified to make such statements without being anywhere near one! I look forward to your review.
But, clearly from all these reviews (by people who've actually used one for a few weeks), the iPhone is not crap - and far from it. They all say basically the same thing. It's a breakthrough device, but not perfect.
It must be terrible for someone who so badly wants the the iPhone to be crap, to have to read positive reviews stating that its not...

I agree.
Phones that shoot high resolution pictures and video are almost the norm in Europe and Asian markets and are advancing all the time. The iPhone seems to be moving in a different direction altogether, which is why I can't see it being any threat just yet.

Yes, the technical specifications of the iPhone aren't anything revolutionary. Other phones have the same or better specs in almost all areas.
Clearly, the main area of innovation in the iPhone is the user-interface and touch-screen. Name another device that comes anywhere close in this area.
I read somewhere that 90% of high-end phone features go unused by 90% of people. However, the user-interface is used 100% of the time, by 100% of people.

I've had a bit of a play with the the TouchFlo interface on the new HTC Touch and that is pretty cool

I think they have taken a big risk by ditching the traditional keypad.
However, whereby Mobile manufacturers create devices that are predominantly telephones, I see the iPhone as a device which is less of a phone and more of a media device; its emphasis has taken the features that would be considered secondary on mobiles and given them bigger priority.
