The iPhone isn't as perfect as it looks |

03-May-2008
Pros: Nice camera resolution, organized, internet speed is pretty decent, it looks nice, the ipod installed
Cons: Freezes, can't figure out what is wrong with it some of the time, no videocamera
The Bottom Line: If you really just want it for the look and the cool features, get it.. But if you're looking for a phone with no glitches... nah.

Full Review
Really, the commercials make the iPhone look like a dream come true. The most amazing, sophisticated phone EVER!!! Too bad they leave out all the glitches and annoying problems that come along with it. I mean they could at least give a small warning, some kind of warranty, or a better policy involving problems with the iPhone. I honestly have never had a phone freeze so many times in my life. You have to "Slide to unlock"... Problem is when the slidey bar FREEZES and you can't do anything for anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes, trying to slide it, having to turn the phone on and off multiple times. Not too big of a deal on this one, but even crappy phones have video cameras on them, and the iPhone can have everything, even iTunes, Stocks, Maps... but no video camera. I just don't get that one. I mean I do love the phone's features when they work but it really is almost not worth it sometimes with how much it freezes or has issues. Let's see, I'll write a couple positives, The iPod on it is pretty cool, works very well and just like a regular iPod. It's pretty sweet how you can turn it sideways and the whole viewing of the screen will turn as well... while viewing the web and doing a few other things. I also like how you can 'pinch' the screen to zoom in and kind of 'pinch out' to zoom back out. They made some really cool details... Another one being when you're typing either a text message or anything you can kind of hold down your fingernail more to the screen on a word and a little magnifying glass pops up.. I mean who doesn't want a little magnifying glass??? I know I do.
