Walter Mossberg reviews the iphone
“Most beautiful, certainly the most radical hand held computer I have ever tested.”
“five days into testing it, I found I could type as well as i could type on my treo physical keyboard. The keyboard issue is a non-issue.”
“the best web browser I have seen on a hand-held device”
Phone is ok.
The big drawback to the iphone is the fact that it only runs on one carrier — AT&T — it is locked so that you cannot put a tmobile card….coverage varies and if you are in an area without great AT&T coverage, it is not going to be useful if you can't make calls on it. The data part of this runs on a cell network called Edge which is quite slow compared to the other networks. If you are relying for the cell phone network for internet access it is very slow.”
“But it has wifi. The phone instantly switches you to wifi for your internet access and that really flies.”
