You don't need a load of explanation on why this phone changed the market and set the standard, though the ties to AT&T and Apple are way too strong to truly enjoy this device.  The screen and style are now a bit outdated and the lack of customization make you feel like you are a cow in the the big heard of i ecosystem.  The ui is still probably the best there is but, come on its time for a face lift.





Large touch screen, very finger friendly, capacitive screen, out-of -box usablility
AT&T 3g coverage, Apple proprietary rubbish, dated look, lack of customization

What A load Of Rubbish!

There was all this hype over the iphone when it first came out and now it's just a big fat letdown.
The camera is crap and there just introducing things that many other phones have had for years.
The only plus is the apps which are great but they don't come preloaded and a lot of the good ones aren't free so your basically paying extra to make the phone better when the phone is already too expensive.

Xoxo





Apps =)
Everything else it's a heap of junk.
And it's far too expensive.

It's really, really great for music.  If you're into childish little apps and games, then it's great for that too.



It has pretty bad call quality, and I drop calls quite a lot.  My 3G barely ever works.  In addition, it's pretty damn ugly.  And so are the menus.  There is seriously no customization whatsoever.  The camera is also pretty disappointing. 



If you are connected to WiFi, the internet is amazing!  Very easy to use.  It also has great GPS and Facebook and Twitter apps.



It's a decent device, but as a phone, its pretty sub-par.
