Best iPhone review I've read to date. That's why I asked for your views in
the phone.

Thanks.


you're rather easy to satisfy (well, you're rather behind, technology
wise, re mobile phone, GSM, UMTS, et al). The "features" of the iphone
are about 5 years late here in Europe.

Well since I'm not in Europe the features of European phones really have no
relevance for me. Also, my post said nothing about the quality or features
if the phone only CJs review of the phone. And the main reason I liked the
review is that it didn't spend a lot of time on the technological things
about the phone but how it worked for him.

The iPhone is GSM, just like European phones. I might point out that
additional "features" come at the cost of size, weight, and shorter
battery life. This is why the iPhone does not have 3G, for example. If
you want more features, you need a bigger battery, which makes the
phone thicker and heavier.

There is nothing innovative about the iPhone except the interface and
external design. Interface means a lot more to most people than they
realize. Consider the Volvo or the BMW. Neither of these auto
manufacturers are particularly innovative; the Japanese usually come
out with new features before they do. Yet, the Volvo and the BMW are
very popular not because they are filled with the latest gadgetry or
have displays the resemble the Ginza district of Tokyo. They are
popular because they are good quality, very comfortable, good
performing autos that hold the road as if they were on rails. But you
could argue that they are five years behind Japan, technologically.

In some ways the iPhone follows a Swedish pattern. Design trumps features.

hmm, I use a 3G phone and most of my calls are 3G calls. My phone is not
heavy and has a long enough battery life. OK, if I watch 1 hour TV the
battery life goes down.
And: check out the Nokia N-series regarding size and features (they also
come with a GPS built in).

true. But so you want to say that the iphone features are mainly
quality? Maybe the iphone has interface advantages; maybe.

There's nothing the N series does that isn't already available here in a
single device. I find it amusing that after all these years of trying
to get the largest screen possible for video we are now trying to get it
on the smallest. I've used various GPS programs on three different
devices with Mapopolis being the best of the three. I have no use for
this type of program, although it is cool. If I find myself in a big
city in need of directions I'd rather have my 496 along with me. Bigger
is much better in mapping programs. The battery life will be similar to
what the average smartphone here gets, there's no magic there.
