We like:
Stunning display; a sleek design; innovative multitouch user interface; superb Web surfing experience; easy-to-use apps; excellent music player
We don't like:
Variable call quality; lacks some basic features, such as stereo Bluetooth and 3G; integrated memory is stingy for an iPod; you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Despite some important missing features, a slow data network and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated mobile phone and MP3 player

The iPhone's so good, I don't mind the price drop
It's all so good, I'm philosophical about O2 carving £100 off the price. I'm even prepared to wait for the day that Safari stops randomly kicking me back to the menu screen.
