Share your iPhone review!
Like any new Apple product iPhone generated quite a buzz. Apple announced iPhone in January 2007 but even before there were lots of rumors floating around the internet. The iPhone was launched to the United States market on June 29, 2007 and it became Time magazine’s Invention of the Year in 2007. And like with any successful product (even more if it comes from Apple 
) there is always some controversy around it. People like it, people hate it. The best way to decide for yourself is to read some iPhone reviews. This is where this site jumps in.
YOU OWN AN IPHONE: The best iPhone reviews are those coming from first hand users like YOU! If you have something to say about your iPhone - say it and help others!
YOU DON’T OWN AN IPHONE: If you don’t own an iPhone yet then we hope these iPhone reviews will help you decide if you want to get one or not. Ask questions!
I disagree with the camera comments, My family drives funny cars I have no proublem taking pictures of there cars doing 200 + mph.
Hi guys,
Got my IPhone a couple of months ago and so far, its been pretty good. I cant speak for our american brothers and sisters but in the UK the IPhone has a few things that are annoying:
1. You cant send picture messages
2. You cant recieve picture messages( you have to go online….)
3. You cant forward tex messages (really annoying when u want your buddies to laugh at jokes…)
4. You cant connect your bluetooth to other phones (apart from hands free head sets
5. The camera is very poor, no zoom or features just basic point and click
6. Correcting your text documents can be tricky, no movement arrows, just a annoying, non accurate zoom thingy…
This does seem amazingly strange for such a high tech phone, and for Apple not to have these features on a phone is shocking to be honest.
My mates love the IPhone but laugh there heads off when i cant forward messages or view a picture of there drunk night out…. and i agree, that is shocking, COME ON APPLE, SOUGHT YOUR S**T OUT!!!
Apart from that, its pretty cool!!
Hi there i own a iphone price US$800, got used to Nokia PDA’s this is no match it crashes very often, cant see call logs more than yesterdays, bluetooth doesnt function tried it thousands of times wasting precious hours, ear tone is very poor max volume when your out on the streets with vehicle traffic you dont hear a damn thing, u cannot anwer the phone in a hurry without fiddeling the toogle switch with both hands, I am sur Mr Job has not used a Good Mobile phone thats why he couldnt produce one better.
I have just started using iphone after switching from a HP iPac. I was happy with the HP and the iphone was a gift (I am a lucky guy). The iphone is very easy to get going on and the sync with my mac computer was seamless. I was up and running with all my contacts and numbers in about 2 hours. Pretty amazing. The apps are pretty cool and the overall package is pretty nice. However, there are some issues.
using the iphone is pretty straight forward, but there are a number of little things that are annoying, especially when it comes to text messaging and using the keyboard. The keyboard takes some getting used to and is too small for my big fingers. Once you get used to the text entry things start to speed up, but trying to get acronyms or abbreviations into the text can be frustrating. The lack of a period on the main key board is very annoying as it takes two moves to get a period into the text. Also, there is no caps lock and this requires shift - enter for capitalisiing.
The lack of a cut and paste feature is a bit annoying as well. Editing address and contacts requires that you physically write down the numbers or email addresses and then copy them into the desired location. I suppose I could do this on the computer and then sync… but the same applies for trying to edit emails. The little bubble is ok for fixing up words, but not for moving or adding any text around.
The design is nice and clean, but I admit I did get used to he HP having the calendar events displayed on the main screen as a reminder. Accessing the iphone calendar requires going into the programme.
The phone function so far works as it is supposed to, but trying to find a number from the call list when you are in a conversation is not possible. You can get numbers from the contact list but have to quit the call to access the Recents list (also misspelled by the way). Nit picking perhaps, but I work coordinating people and events and sometimes you need to pass on that last call number that is not in the contact list.
There are no options for the size of the icons or text. Perhaps I am outside your demographic target, but it would be nice to have the option of making the text a bit bigger. You too will one day be over 50 (never thought I would be saying that).
Bottom line; I will get used to the parts that annoy me and will thoroughly enjoy the ease of use for the rest.

I am sad to say that I am VERY dissapointed with the Iphone. My friend and I both received Iphones from our husbands as Christmas gifts. Previously we both used Blackberries and were very happy. I reluctantly began using the Iphone so I wouldnt hurt my husband’s feelings. BIG MISTAKE. the phone jams often and requires that I restart it. I have had 2 cords connectors burn out requiring me to spend more money to replace them. the phone is hypersensitive at times and non reactive at others. my friend is experiencing the same problems only worse. she often sends emails that are never received. I am SO dissapointed in this phone. My blackerry was durable and functional. I would trade back the glitz of the bells and whistles of the Iphone for my blackberry. If you are looking for a toy that may or may not work - buy the Iphone. If you are a business person who relies on their phone as a method of dependable communication - think again about the Iphone and head for the blackberry!
oh typing emails and texts on the Iphone? Dont even get me started… FORGET ABOUT IT!
i forgot to mention that I otherwise love Apple. I have a Mac & and Ipod and I am very happy with these products. perhaps its just too new of a product and Apple has not had time to think things through. Every company is entitled to a mistake… unfortunately this one is an expensive one to the consumer….
the phone is amazing what i do not like about the iphone is the bluetooth, there is no flash zoom and you can’t take videos with the camera which sucks and when its night forget taking pics… other then that its amazing i managed to connect to my iphone with ssh ( ftp ) and access my phones files delete the unwanted icons like STOCK?? wtf do i need that for?? weather??? BORING and added lots of games using Ziphone program jailbreak
now i have lots of games installed and kewl appz like mirc.. I think the bluetooth problem can be fixed in software update but the camera problem maybe in a newer iphone. oh yes and my phone does not recognize my country :S so when i save numbers without the area code when i get a text message it does not show the person’s name even when they are saved in contacts… so if i save it WITH the area code of my country it does not show their name when they send a text and does when they call still being saved in contact list!! so i have to save peoples number TWICE once with area code and once without ITS STUPID that the iphone does not recognize my country and i have to put i am from Lebanon when i am from Cyprus…

well i would just like to say i am 15 and recieved the iPhone as a birthday present.
for a teenagers phone it is very good, however adults/business workers may find the email very fustrating. the only problems i have is when i want to take pictures at night with my friends because there is no flash and the bluetooth!!!
other than those the sound quality of the music is very good and i got used to the text messaging very easily.
overall it is a very fun, easy to use phone and i am very happy with it.
