Strengths: Everything
Weaknesses: No voice recorder!!!
Summary: What can I say about the iphone that you haven't already heard if you're reading this review?! I guess I can just give my added 2 cents...so here goes.I had a blackberry, but gave it up b/c it was too expensive considering I didn't use it that often and too bulky. I wanted a phone that did more, but didn't have a exorbitantly expensive monthly fee. Nothing that was on the market impressed me until the iphone came out and I actually saw how cool it was and what it could do. However, I wouldn't have bought the iphone if the monthly fee was ridiculous, but to my pleasant surprise, based on my needs and usage, I found a monthly fee that was reasonable and worth it for all the additional features and usage I get out of my iphone.The best feature for me, being a busy nursing student with tons of classes, labs, appointments, etc is the calendar feature where I can put in all my activities so I know where I need to be at all times. My phone is always with me so having this at a glance is really valuable. I use the "notes" feature quite a bit to jot down little reminders to myself. The touch screen qwerty keyboard is major cool and fast. My sister texted me, "how is it I can text back so fast, I must text a lot?" I told her, "it's because of my touch screen allowing me the ability to text so fast." She was impressed. Being able to view the temperature let's me know what to wear before I leave the house so that's pretty cool. Finally, the built in ipod is great. It's another perk that reduces the number of items I have to carry with me. Essentially, I have a phone, pda and ipod all in one and in a small compact package. How cool is that, not to mention, efficient. The only note of discontent is that I wish a voice recorder was a feature of the ipod so I didn't have to carry a separate one with me to record class lectures or verbally remind myself of something when I have a quick thought I want to remember, but can't write down then and there. Other than that, the iphone rocks and I still haven't exploited all the cool things I can do!

Strengths: Ease of use, syncing, and support.
Weaknesses: None I can find yet.
Summary: This thing has changed my life. What ease, in every aspect from the web to appointments,and even text . But most of all what puts me over the top with this phone is the support from Apple, Any question is answered with ease and no run around. Puts my Treo to shame.

Strengths: Touch screen operation, full web browser, iPod touch included, WIFI, 3rd party APPs to come
Weaknesses: No Java, no real GPS, headphone jack not compatible with most high-end phones
Summary: iPhone is arguably the best phone in the market, the feature set is solid - SMS chat, a full web browser, google maps, WIFI connectivity.the touch screen is fantastic, full colored (16m), bright. the most impressive thing is the multi-touch feature, you can zoom, a web page/picture in a breeze. I'm fascinated by how accurate the touch can be pinned on the screen, i.e. when I am typing with the virtual keyboard. it's a huge leap over the last generation stylus-based touch technology.the bad things? sure, compared to the Nokia n95, there is no download function although the safari is a 'full browser', no copy/paste, no hardware GPS, no 3G connectivity (not much difference if you only browse on it). I have a Nokia n95 and a blackberry, among the 3 I would pick iPhone. sure it doesn't do all that the n95 can, but it fits my daily usage profile.highly recommended!
