The first Apple iPhone reviews roll on in
With three days left till the launch of the Apple iPhone, it appears the NDA rules governing product reviews of the new phone has been lifted. We’re now seeing reviews pop up left and right on the net from major publications. I’ll try and summarize some of them here.
NYTimes – “The iPhone Matches Most of Its Hype”
But even in version 1.0, the iPhone is still the most sophisticated, outlook-changing piece of electronics to come along in years. It does so many things so well, and so pleasurably, that you tend to forgive its foibles.
Wall Street Journal – “Testing Out the iPhone”
Expectations for the iPhone have been so high that it can’t possibly meet them all. It isn’t for the average person who just wants a cheap, small phone for calling and texting. But, despite its network limitations, the iPhone is a whole new experience and a pleasure to use.

USA Today – “Apple’s iPhone isn’t perfect, but it’s worthy of the hype”
The mania over Apple’s iPhone launch has created stratospheric expectations that are near impossible to live up to. Yet with a few exceptions, this expensive, glitzy wunderkind is indeed worth lusting after.
Newsweek – “At Last, the iPhone”
Certainly all those people lining up to buy iPhones will find their investment worthwhile, if only for the delight they get from dazzling their friends. They will surely appreciate the iPhone’s features and the way they are intertwined to present a unified experience. But in the future—when the iPhone has more applications and offers more performance, with a lower price—buyers will find even more value.
