My 20 second iPhone review

Apple

July 2, 2007 01:08 PM PST

I just got back from the Apple store where I got to play with an iPhone for about 10 minutes. My thoughts: It is a pretty impressive consumer phone. The keyboard worked better than I thought it would, not perfect, but pretty usable. The UI was slick. The browser worked better than anything I've used on a PDA or smartphone. It rendered the handful of sites I hit very well. One was unreadable in portrait mode, but rotating to landscape zoomed it up just enough to read. The media player was slick, videos looked good. There are some inconsistencies though like the fact that you can only use the keyboard in landscape with Safari. Also only a few apps even work in landscape, e.g. the doc browser does not. Overall not a bad device. Certainly better than any cell phone I've ever owned. ;)

Have you ever had a cell? (This comment posted via iPhone and free Google wifi out doors)

Nope, never.
So, don't keep us waiting. How do you like it?
