 In reassessing our original opinions about the iPhone, nothing speaks to the phone's abilities more than the fact that it has become our primary phone as well as our primary music player. On long trips, it has proven invaluable as a PMP, and driving around locally, has even replaced our GPS-enabled phones (though it won't replace a good PND, by any means). It is important, in understanding this phone, not to underestimate the importance of a great user interface, and the more we use the iPhone the more we find lacking in other devices. That being said, there is still much work to be done. Admittedly, much of that will be handled by third-parties, and some of the features we crave will require a hardware upgrade to 3G networking, and perhaps better hardware for camcorder recording. Still, some of these omissions, like MMS and voice dialing, are still puzzling, as greater and lesser features have been added since the iPhone's launch. We can't recommend that anyone waiting for features beyond GPS jump on board immediately, as no other improvement has been so impressive. But users who understand the limitations of the iPhone will be delighted by what they find. And with ActiveSync support and more third-party apps on the way, the future for the iPhone looks bright indeed. Release: June 2007. Price: $400.
Pros: Fantastic touch screen. Fun, intuitive interface. Best-in-class audio and video player capabilities.
Cons: Poor messaging, hampered by a questionable touch keyboard. Lacks some key features. Myriad functions drain battery quicker.
