First iPhone Reviews Coming Tonight?

The Apple 2.0 Blog claims that the first official iPhone reviews should start trickling out tonight at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET).

From what we've heard the reviewers are going to be generally positive but will not shy away from pointing out the parts of the iPhone experience that were disappointing -- mostly revolving around typing difficulties and sluggish downloads over AT&T's current cellular network.


Apple has provided review iPhones to select journalists ahead of time to allow them time to use and review the units for the iPhone launch. Walt Mossberg received his iPhone on June 11th.

Both Mossberg & Pogue are such Apple fans I can't imaging anything too bad in their reviews.

I would love to have honesty here :) Of course I guess that the iPhone isn't designed for typing up the great blog or novel but it offers basic functionality then that's good enough.

I guess that a Sidekick Hiptop would be a better on the go blogging tool.

no product is "perfect" so I imagine you'll see some constructive criticism. Everyone I know who has a data plan with their cellphone experience sluggish down/uploads and the like ... it's just part of the territory. Imagine how things will be in even 3-5 years ...

I like Walt Mossberg, but he and Jobs kiss each others asses so much it's hard to hold any credibility for him as a tech journalist. How about giving him a phone when all the other journalists get one? I can't really trust what he writes with that sycophantic relationship.

I know it's an exciting product and all, and that MacRumors likes to report every story as early as possible, but this is getting beyond a joke. It feels like we're getting at least 3-4 iPhone related stories every day. How about cutting that down to 1-2, maybe even a daily summary.

I'm sure members here will surely agree it looks excessive with this many articles daily, and there's still 3 days of it left. Reviews and comments from reviewers currently trying the device have been slowly filtering out over the last couple of weeks, so having to have an entire article to explain there will be some official reviews later is the final straw for me. So far today it has been Service Plans, video of synching and then this. That's to add to the 4 articles yesterday, (two of which for us Europeans surfaced within today's timeframe as they were largely too late for us yesterday).

Someone please wake me up when the iPhone stories start to disappear and we can get back to Macs.

I can guarantee there will be more iPhone stories through the end of this week. It's iPhone week.
