No, I'm sure the phone is cool and all. The zoom and flip on the web- browser for instance is nice to watch, for instance.

have you used one before?? the things the iphone does are truly cream of the crop nothing else compares... the biggest issue people have with iphone is the "lack" of features they're use to...but for browsing, music and video... the device is truly the best out there... the "phone" aspect is weak though...

No, I've just fiddled with one a couple of minutes. So, it's sleek, it's nice, and things of that sort. And some of the solutions are good, really pleasing to look at, and functional as well on occasion - I mean, the browser is nice, the sms- things are pretty, and could possibly be useful. And the photo- thing and e-mail integration is limited, but perfectly useful - no particular complaints from that perspective. Other than that, the connection outside has to go through iSync, and it's not impossible to live with that.
But.. it's just that it drives me batty to hear people falling over themselves to get a device with basic or even crippled functionality, that is overpriced and overpowered for no other reason than to drive a load of bells and whistles (and kettledrums, completely indifferent to what the phone actually does).
Still, would I really have had any problems with the iPhone if it wasn't so clamped down? Or even if it just wasn't specifically designed to shape how customers manage content online and offline, and just happened to be a sized down mobile device with a bad networking policy (that takes us back to the good old days when a ring- tone would cost about the price of an hour's worth of talk- time)?
Of course I wouldn't. Then I would just say it was a nice- looking device, that - while it has sleek menus - just doesn't fit for what I want to use a mobile device for, and that it's constructed like a proper fashion device. End of story. So, obviously it's "politics" that makes this a particularly bad device, from my point of view. But the conscious design- limitations on connectivity (that frankly I thought were about to be phased out as a concept) do play a very important factor in that. So this isn't just an "I hate apple" problem. I mean, I use apple- programs for some tasks, and I have no problem designing programs that don't have direct user- interfaces to the hardware- addresses. Most programs benefit tremendously from design- limitations of that sort.
But you won't find anyone else than the guys over at apple designing a product that has something like: an impressively animated button in 3d on the front of a gorgeous looking gui, with awesome fonts and round frames that says: "get entertained". Which when you click it, and it is the only action you can take on the entire gui, takes you directly to your service- provider's content portal. Imo, noone but the people over at apple would design something like that - and then go on to call it "revolutionary".
So, sure, it's pretty - and I suppose I can commend Apple for, if nothing else.. bringing an aesthetic dimension to user- interfaces on mobile devices that was not considered before. (Even if this was never done before for a very good reason.)

well the fact that the i-phones phone aspect is weak is a serious problem. ill agree that it does certain things well. But to not be able to use "revolutionary piece of cel phone technology" to make a call is ridiculous!

Still, it's a really good opportunity to look at what exactly a good phone is.
(I mean, a couple of years back, I bought a ridiculously expensive phone so I could send smiley- faces to my friends, and download pictures off the internet. And if we're really going by that sort of thing, the iPhone is the ultimate mobile gadget right now).

I think that if the iPhone makes the other manufacurers try harder to make better phones with better user interfaces than surely this is a good thing for us all?
I like the look of the thing and the way it works, but that won't make me go out and buy one because it simply doesn't do all the things I want in a mobile phone and I don't like to be bound with both hands and feet to one specific provider. I'd just get an iPod Touch to satisfy my craving for gadgets, if it weren't for the fact that my P1i + 4 Gb m2 already does everything I want in terms of MP3-functionality anyway.
