First iPhone's reviews...

Here it is folks. One of the first full-on reviews you will see of the Apple iPhone and it comes to us from some of most known journalists in US. 

Pogue (The New York Times) is quite the amusing fellow as he walks us through the entire process of receiving a secretive note from Apple, meeting up with a henchman in the park, keeping the device hidden from colleagues, and ultimately disappointing everyone with the iPhone's shortcomings.

On the plus side, Pogue loves all the features that the iPhone comes with, allowing you to sift through your music library, browse pictures, surf the web in full HTML, and -- his favorite feature -- the ability to access Google Maps on the go with simulated turn-by-turn navigation. 

Watch the video below to see what the Pogue-ster has to say.

That said, the iPhone isn't without its defaults:

- There's no removable battery
- The EDGE network is painfully slow
- You have no means of expanding the memory. 
- The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity.
- There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text!
- No A2DP support.
- Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. 
  No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.
- On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! (Nothing about contacts). 
- It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walter (Walt street Journal) 
  but he doesn't exactly say how.
- Pogue (The New York Times) again confirms document file reading -- but not editing -- for PDF, Word, and Excel (only).
- Adobe Flash support is officially out. It's just not in the browser. 
  Neither is there any other kind of embedded video support.
- It will take snaps, but won't record video. 

So yes, the iPhone is amazing. But no, it’s not perfect.
