Its great, but then when i read some of the comments, it is said iPhone just looks like LG phone.well, looks like, and LG looks better....
I was hoping something extraordinary like what Apple did in their previous products, iMac 98, G4, and others.but this iPhone doesnt give something wow.....

This is great! I loved the Apple Newton and I'm sure this one will go over just as well as that did! Minus the graffiti problems I'm sure. haha

Breakthrough Internet communicator? Definitely not, it's not even 3G even though Cingular has 3G available. Widescreen iPod? Ok, it was bound to happen. There is nothing revolutionary about the iPhone that makes it $500. Sony's own P990 already has a touch screen, though not used as innovatively as the iPhone, it's still not revolutionary. 2 MP cam is current gen, not next gen. The iPhone takes the best of CURRENT US tech and pretty much just merges it. For it to be as "revolutionary" as they claim it to be is a joke to European and Asian market phones that can load the NY Times page 10 times faster than the iPhone can.
The iPhone is designed for solid Mac and iPod enthusiasts, I think, but I don't think most of them are willing to shell out $500 and a 2 year contract with Cingular for a sub-par phone just for the Apple name brand. If Apple is to succeed, this phone must appeal to more than the audience that it's intended for.

Its obvious that most of the posters giving negative comments have not seen the iPhone in action. Go ahead and look at Steve Job's keynote speech where he introduces the iPhone. Its not about the specs..its about the user interface and integration of all the functions on the device.
To me the greatest achievement is that it is running a variant of OS X. Along with this it includes core OS X technologies such as Cocoa, Core Animation, the OS X networking stack, etc. As Steve said, this will allow DESKTOP CLASS apps to run on the iPhone.
Compare this with the symbian OS on the Nokia and SE smartphones or the WM/Pocket PC on Windows-based smartphones. These are nothing but lightweight embedded OSes.
If any of you have any vision, you would see why this is a big deal.
So if you prefer a camera with 5.0 megapixels or FM (ha! FM tuners?) instead go ahead....

iPod without a 3G is a step backwards. @ megapixel is Passe. Proximity sensors and accelerometers are marketing gimmicks. This does not add value

iPhone has not meet my expectations as i thought that Apple would be coming with a user friendly phone with loads of features in it.
But the features on the phone as low as to a basic phone of any other company,and price wise its tooooooo expensive for the features that are instored in the phone.and they have mainly focused on the iPod features instead of Phone Features.

As I`m from EU I can say that this phone will be a top gadget in USA, but not in EU as it`s with iPod and etc. Nokia with N series anyway will be a top gadget after releasing iPhone! Think, why we from EU need staff that works for all 100% only in USA. It`s only if Apple wont make Firmware thats suits EU needs!

i think the phone to beat, after the EU launch will be the n(5 or somethin. thats way better than this phone. i know the 2 phones as of now cant be compared, but this 1 is gonna be a show toy more than anything, its gonna be outclassed by the other cells i thnk in performance. i hope nokia do justice in the n95... thats gonna be a million times better

The hardware on this phone is OOOOOOOOLD by the time this comes out. But if you're only looking for an iPod upgrade, this is perfect.

interesting concept. it's an ipod/PDA/phone device wich has some interesting features like the big fancy touchscreen,slim design,4gb/8gb memory and a smart internet browser.
but it's just a show off ipod/PDA/phone. It lacks 3G,FM radio,and it only has an 2.0 mp camera, wich is a pretty bad performance for a 2007 phone/PDA.(Other producers announced for 2007 phones with up to 5.0 mp cameras)
Another bad thing in this iPhone could be it's autonomy.
But hey, if u want a fancy ipod and not a phone and want to pay 400 to 600 $ than this is the right mmm... ipod for you.
