Apple iPhone (AT&T)

This review is for the 1st generation iPhone. For a review of the iPhone 3G see my other reviews.

Advantages iPhone 1.0 vs iPhone 3G:

- at present is its ability to be unlocked for use on other cell carriers. If using AT&T, no advantage

- EDGE data plan is $10 cheaper

I've owned a cell phone since 1992. I've always had a "top of the line cell phone" (I've always had AT&T = formerly Cingular = formerly BellSouth Mobility). I've had some really good phones: Motorola v60 "Vader", Nokia 6102i, and a Sony Ericsson T610. Then I've had some REALLY bad ones: Motorola RAZR, SLVR, Sony Ericsson s710a, Sony Ericsson Walkman W400, & most recently an HP iPaq 6515. In my 16 years of having cellphones, I've had over 100 (yes 100+) different models & makes.

I haven't had signal issues w/ many phones, it's always been asthetics that bothered me or the clumsy interfaces.

With every phone I've ever had, no matter how long I've had it; I always had a problem placing a call on hold & answering another call or joining a call into a 3-way call. With the iPhone interface being so well designed & the features so clearly labeled; I don't have that problem any more.

As for the design, the Sony Ericsson s710a was a beautiful phone, but the way it flipped open was awkward. When you opened it, it flipped upside down. You had to open it, then rotate the phone to use it.

With the HP iPaq 6515, I hated the keyboard. It was hard to see, crowded w/ characters & difficult to use w/ my large fingers. This is the problem I face w/ almost all phones w/ physical keyboards except the HTC 8525; which has the best phone keyboard of any phone. iPhone users should try the pogo stylus.

The iPhone keyboard is clear, easy to use, & once you get use to it - allows for very fast typing. I used it more in the first 10 days of owning my iPhone than I ever used ANY keyboard on ALL phones I've ever owned.

The camera on my Nokia 6201i was great, but it was difficult to use & to get pictures off of.The camera on the iPhone is terriffic - the viewfinder & capture buttons are crystal clear. It's easy to get the photos from iPhone to computer for editing.

Unlike most smartphones - that have Windows Mobile - the iPhone has an intuitive interface that's easy to understand & navigate. There's no need to read a manual - it's just simple to understand.

Before the iPhone I hated text messaging ... I texted more in the 1st 10 days than I have in the last 10 years!

Because an iPhone uses standard iPod sync & charge cables, accessories are easy to find.

Battery life is very good - even when utilizing power draining features like Wifi & Bluetooth.

I can actually use the calculator on an iPhone, unlike on other cell phones where you have to figure out what key corresponds to an add/multiply/divide.

The Google Maps feature is amazing w/ the ability to use satellite data. The GPS integration w/ LocateMe is awesome (upgrade to 1.1.

The weather forecast widget is nice to have - especially in the summer so you can plan your outdoor week or weekend spontaneously.

Only complaints:

- Edge data network is acceptable, but I wish was faster
- I'd really like to see bluetooth data exchange so I could sync an iPhone via bluetooth.
- FM transmitters don't work well due to interference

Invaild complaints:

- the keyboard is hard to use - at 1st it is ... it definitely takes getting used to. Once you start letting an iPhone correct your mistakes & just hitting the space bar, it becomes pretty fast

I bought an 8gig and unlocked it to use it with tmobile. 6 months later i got bored..
so i bought a blackberry
then i didnt like it i missed the iphone so i bought one. this routine carried on for about 10 months or ever since the first iphone came out. i bought this one just to see the cool 2.0.2 updates and i unlocked it
i've already sold the phone
the 3g's are just so much cooler so i think i'll go get one of those
but ALL apple products are amazing. I surprisingly sold this one more than i bought it for. Even though it had a crack, it sold quick. I love apple. I have a macbook pro an imac and soon an iphone 3g
i have three ipods
i'm an apple fanatic.
stick to the iphone its a SOLID phone for sure. better than the lg prada or samsung armani or any rip off china phone. stick to apple. they're great.

he said water damage never try to fix it not true i took the phone to get fix and is more then what he told me

I like the phone very much. Ebay is another story. I don't buy here any more as someone gave me a strike and I can't even respond any more to what happened. I paid for the one thing I ordered, but they charged me for two and I wrote to the seller, but it was never cleared out. so I will shop elsewhere. Otherwise I love the Apple phone it works great and that is fine. thank you.

I am very happy for my purchase!! It's the same as the photo, no scratches, excellent condition, now, I have to unlock it but I allready know that when I have bought it! shipped quickly, not expensive, no scartches, like a new iPhone, I am happy! Thank you! very good deal ;)

This phone had some dead spots on the touch screen that were not mentioned in the communication between the seller and I. When I received the phone the touch screen did not work properly even though the seller set it was in good working condition.

I really like the design of the phone, but there is barely any physical damage to the device but apparentley the digitizer is bad. Is is very sleek and feels sloid in the hand.

I bought iPhone in excelent condition (as it was in a listening). I very glad that i worked with that seller!!!! A+++++!!!!!!

I text message, check my E-mail, view eBay, store my calender and more in this phone. Its kind of delicate since it comes with the touch screen but I can drop it a few times without damaging it.

I have only been using my iphone for a few hours but I love it. The interface is really easy to use and it works great! I get really good reception and calls are very clear! If your concidering an iphone id say do it!

phone is great..it completes my needs..The phone size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan. Overall, I'd recommend the phone.

This phone is for someone who doesnt need the Ipod part. 4GB is pretty small in today's world but the 4GB phone is perfect for someone who wants the bells and whistles of an iphone without paying a crazy price.

the product was in a good condition and working great, it was ship when the seller say it will be, got it ,

nice thanks
I'd recommend the phone if you're on a budget.

The heat sensetive touch screen and the 2.0 megapixel camera, its all really easy to use. Very slim although heavy. Amazing phone with basically every feature that exists and also very complete and creative design by apple. We havent had such a good phone in about 10 years. Really a good buy and its worth every single penny. Even if you get it for $400 its still a good buy. Amazing piece of device by Apple. Highly recomended for almost anything and everything. Truly a great work of art combined with technology.

I hacked the iphone with the easy to follow instructions on youtube and was able to use it with my current AT&T plan (without having to upgrade to the iphone contract rate). The hack also enabled the phone to be used by my girlfirend's Verizon SIM card. A++ Love Apple!

Apple has finally came out of the dark ages. Remember back in the mid to late 90's when no one would touch an Apple product..the times have changed for Apple. After a good revamping, products got extremely better and more appealing to the eye. Now, with the launch of the Apple iphone, one of Apple's newest products to enter the GSM cell phone market..profit's are going through the roof.

The phone has many great features including Wi-Fi, EDGE, touch screen (which is great if you do alot of text messaging..I can't stand the pressing of buttons to get to the right alpha letter or number), internet browsing, and if you happen to get your hands on one, the new 3G iphone has built in GPS and 3G cpabilities..but were talking about the previous generation model.

Don't jump up and down yet, the iphone is lacking a few things..MMS for one, a 2MP camera, the GPS on the new firmware 2.0 does not give turn by turn instructions (a version 2.1 is coming soon to correct that issue), no streaming video. and is locked to ATT (unless you happen to know one of those people who can unlock it for you..yes, the new firmware 2.0 is now unlockable).

All in all, it is still one of the hottest phones on the market. What the iphone lacks, certainly makes up for in features. Being a seller on here, I sell them unlocked to different countries around the world and I must say..people absolutely love them. Although no longer available from Apple, the previous generation model is not obsolete, most of the features on the new 3G is still the same as on the old one. Find yourself an ebay seller and pick one up today.

Buy this phone!!! you will regret it if you dont! i just bought 1 and right now the only thing going through my head is OMG~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
