First Class review of the iphone
I don't trust the reviews of my fellow phonescoopers for the most, check out this real review.
From a hofo member
Here's the short list:
1. Bluetooth is ONLY good for connecting a headset. That's it.
2. There is no file browser on the device at all. Data must be organized (if at all) in the appropriate application.
3. The camera is a simple application that has ONE button: the shutter. Pictures come out okay on the device, but nothing too fancy on a monitor, especially if it was an attempt at a macro shot.
4. SIM card is damn near impossible to open, if at all. I didn't look into it extensively.
5. Web browser is slow, even over WLAN. Even the simple OneList web app that was created takes around 20 seconds to load over WLAN....

Odd that you'd more trust HoFo over PS reviews.
That review is similar to others here.

The biggest problem I see with that review is number 5. I am using the iPhone to post this right now over edge and its nice and quick. When using wifi it is obviously much faster as well.

Huh. Well that isn't biased.
If I want to post a bunch of negative things I can do that about any phone in any company's lineup.
If you don't like the phone, don't buy it.
The fact of the matter is this thing is huge and people like it. All other carriers will face a hit from this.

The Honeymoon will be over shortly when they start "missing" things like . Custom ring tones, MP3 ring tones, OBX file push over BT. BT that will work in any BT enabled car.
If it were not for the glitzy UI that phone would be a freebie. I'm predicting lots of returns.

Plus the lack of GPS support. When you look at the demos, you would think it has GPS, but instead the iPhone only has Google maps.
A display that size would really be great for turn-by-turn maps, or for other GRP products like Chaperone.

"M8 is now said to measure in at a scant 57x105x11.5-mm and packs both a GSM and Chinese TD-SCDMA 3G radio, a 3.3-inch 720x480 pixel display, Bluetooth, a 3 megapixel camera, and an ARM11 CPU capable of recording video at 30fps at the device's full 720 x 480 resolution. Too good to be true? Perhaps, but if not Meizu than certainly some other nimble Chinese outfit will be unveiling their iPhone clone soon enough and likely well before the iPhone hits Asia sometime in 2008. And as we've seen, even Apple's tenacious legal team can be helpless in the face of shutting do...
