I did a side by side compare with the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Curve. I haven't posted the results yet but my primary thought is, 'As a phone, Apple's iPhone makes a great (but limited to 8Gb ; I know the new is larger) iPod'.
I would have to agree with Gary that the touchscreen is Very awkward to type on. All Apple have tried to do here is intergrate a phone into an iPod and they have done a great job. But as a serious business machine...No...
The 'bling' and 'wow' factor of the iPhone is still big on the Australian market but will die down after it is 'Officially' released.
Another thing Gary stated was the iPhone is "The unit would be considered as fragile". This has been taken care of by OtterBox as they have a couple of great cases out for the iPhone.
A couple of things the iPhone does well ; YouTube and .Mac email intergration. iTunes and iPhoto are a couple of other really easy to use applications that come standard.
The '3rd Party' applications that are available for the the iPhone are 'Absolute CRAP !!!'. They seem to have been created by 2 year olds and would not use them in a business environment. However, I'm sure that will change with time...
Well thats about it. I will post the full review here as well as on BerryReview when it's ready to go.
Until then...
Kindest Regards,
Greg Myers
