At Last – A REAL iPhone Review
Filed Under Computers & Tech on June 27, 2007 at 2:55 am
The amount of non-news and pure garbage that the iPhone has spawned is amazing. You have analysts predicting failure and success without ever even having TOUCHED an actual iPhone. I mean really, how low can journalistic standards go? Since when is guesswork (often un-educated guesswork) news? There have even been iPhone stories complaining about the amount of iPhone stories! But, at long last, amidst all the crap, we finally have real review from someone who’s actually GOT an iPhone! What’s better still is that it’s a real review rather than the fan-boy rubbish we are sure to see spewing forth from the blogosphere as soon as the infernal thing finally gets out. Anyhow, go read David Pogue’s review and get some real iPhone news for a change.

Cool, interesting stuff. Yeah, the hype around this thing has been pretty crazy, even by Apple worshipper standards. Interesting to read a hands-on from someone who’s used one for a while, sounds like a nice gadget.
what do you know about the iphone unlocked. its fairly pricey on ebay but is it worth the money and apple have released an itunes update that includes a patch that shuts down all unlocked iphones. any advice
Hi John,
Personally I wouldn’t buy an un-locked iPhone. Apple have made it clear that they won’t give you any support if you hack your phone, so, you’d be on your own if anything went wrong. It’s a lot of money for a device with no warranty!
Also, I’ve heard from quite a few sources now that the iPhone will be coming to Ireland early in the new year. I can’t say for sure that it will, but I’ve heard this same rumor from a few sources and they have all been consistent, O2 in February.
Personally, I’m waiting for an official Irish iPhone.
Bart.
