We like:
Responsive screen; 3G; flush headphone jack; audio quality during calls
We don't like:
2-megapixel camera; lack of flash; inability to edit Microsoft Office documents; no MMS

CNET.co.uk judgement:
Apple has taken the iPhone to the next level and added some truly mouth-watering features. 3G is lightning fast compared to EDGE, and GPS means you'll never get lost again. You still can't send MMS and there's only a 2-megapixel camera, which may annoy you, but overall it's a wonderful experience
