| Looks absolutely gorgeous! So far I haven't been wowed by many Apple products, I don't particularly like the iPod and I just can't get used to the iMac. But this phone, man it just looks so sexy! |

| it's not just the iPone that makes me a little excited, it's what the likes of Nokia and SonyEricsson are going to do in response. this is really going to shake up the premium phone market. |

| I really like the look of the phone and I'm always interested in new gadgets. Unfortunately for me, I happen to text a lot on my mobile phone and I don't think the iPhone is entirely suited for a lot of testing. I'll have to use one to know for sure mind you. |

| to me this is anotehr gimmick. There is already a phone like this out. just check some of the pda/smart phones. they do exactly what this does and more! only thingthis has over its rivals is a hdd. but nowadays you can buy a 8gb sd card for 100 |

Again, the looks of the iphone is what catches the eye first. But, hey, looks isn't everything. The dopod, that I use at the moment, has a sliding keyboard, runs Windows Mobile 5.0, uses micro SD cards, has 3G, EDGE, IrDa, BlueTooth and 54G WiFi, is quad band, has a touch screen (I can use my fingers and, of course, the stylus for input), sync perfectly with Microsoft Windows, has loads of software already available, can convert a business card into a contact by taking a picture in macro mode, looks very good as a business phone... I cannot understand why Apple claims that they are "reinventing the phone"... |

| I think that only 3G pdaphone/smartphone to date is made by HTC, Check them out @ http://www.europe.htc.com/products/ The dopod that I use is made by HTC and branded by dopod. It has exactly the specs of the HTC TyTN with a slightly different design  Enjoy! |
