Glass smudges are easily wiped off. - 700 megabytes is occupied by the phones software - Making calls can be a 6 step process if phone is off. - Web, Email is superior - Battery Life Test: 5 hours video, 23 hours audio. Note: did not turn off Wi-Fi and other features as Apple suggests. - Typing was OK. Difficult at first, but learned to "trust" the keyboard.

Cites Consumer Reports survey which ranks AT&T network as last or second to last in 19 out of 20 major US cities. - AT&Ts EDGE cellular network: "excruciatingly slow" - Slideshow of photos taken with iPhone - Video Review
Newsweek: Steven Levy - bottom line is that the iPhone is a significant leap - The iPhone is the rare convergence device where things actually converge. - e-mail looks more like youre working on a computer than a clunky phone - YouTube videos work great on Wi-Fi, but can display in a lower quality when youre not at a hotspot and are using AT&Ts EDGE network - unless I did a lot of video watching or Web browsing, [the battery] could generally last the day - Ive been jamming it in my pocket with keyrings, coins and pens, and so far its nearly as good as new.

I didn't. - You can hold a conference call with up to five people. - No voice recognition or voice dialing - halfway decent internal speakers for listening if you set the thing down - iPod games are not compatible with iPhone - our company tech department raised questions about the security settings Apple required with our Microsoft Exchange servers. - Battery life didn't prove to be a big problem in my unscientific tests - Edward Baig brought his iPhone to CNBC and demoed it live tonight: Video
