They must be the final release versions otherwise they would state that they were prototypes. Otherwise it would be misleading to the reader and potential purchaser.

With the release in just 2 days time, Apple would've finalised the design/features/software a long time ago so they could send to manufacturing.

they seem to be all American views, where the phone market is some what limited compared to rest of us, Europe etc so they would not have had the chance to compare against the big guns from the rest of the world.... still some positives coming from the reviews though and of course if its the phone you want at heart, no need to compare to others really, its what you want!!! (i have not yet fully read the reviews, only briefly, if they do compare with phones like, n95 etc etc, i apologise )

also jools, i can only assume you're dying to get an iphone ?

those who are sceptical about the iPhone's keypad should watch the new keypad video apple has just posted on the iPhone site an hour ago..

http://www.apple.com/iphone/usingiphone/keyboard.html

some really neat ideas on how the keypad works, and some really cool magnification

Of course they're American reviews. The iPhone is not available anywhere else in the world, nor have any international release dates been announced. And they do compare to other phones, Blackberrys, N95 etc.

I'd suggest you read and digest the reviews - they make interesting reading/viewing even if you don't like the iPhone.



No, I don't want one in its current form at all. I'd want at least 3G, iChat IM and to know how much it will be here before I'd even consider getting one.

In Europe we've got at least 5-6 months to wait. No networks have been chosen for it to be available on yet.

im actually not wanting to watch the vids, read the stuff on the iphone, i just dont like Apple. never have, never will. not sure why. guess its because of the ipod, everyone has one, i dont like to 'follow the crowd' usually with certain things.

you have showed quite a bit of interest in it, going by the threads/post you have made about it, thought you might want one.

ooo btw, i do know its in america only, i only typed 'they are only american' though to fit it into my sentence about its phone market.

I think the attractiveness of this would multiply if it had 3G / HSDPA.

With so much processing power and great graphics its creaky old EDGE connection to the internet lets it down.

One review said Yahoo!'s home page took 2 minutes to load which is pretty horrendous. Its strange that the US version isn't 3G, there is nothing wrong with having 3G capability embedded for future use as no doubt 3G will appear in the not to distant future.

If you're not going to watch the videos, or read the reviews, and aren't even interested in the iPhone, why are you reading and posting in this thread? Even if you won't admit it you must have a passing interest, otherwise you wouldn't waste your time here.

This thread is about reviews of the iPhone so you can't really comment if you haven't viewed them!

Maybe if you spent a few minutes actually learning something about other companies products your blinkered views (based purely on the company, not the actual products merits) might change. You may also find out there's a good reason why a particular companies products become so popular, and generate so much interest.

im not wanting to read them, but i did. the iphone doesnt interest me, but if im not going to buy it, i can only view it online then cant i until some one i know gets one? so, i come look here briefly, that ok with you.

oh btw, ive used an ipod PLENTY (and other apple products) of times, doesnt tickle my fancy... its not just because every one has one. of course they are other reasons . i wont go into that though. are my views still blinkered even though ive tried the companies products?

Fair enough, if you've used an iPod and not liked it that's fine, but you said "i just dont like Apple. never have, never will. not sure why. guess its because of the ipod, everyone has one".
