Yes, I know this is a little overdue, but here it is.Pros: Amazing User Interface, Incredibly Thin, Good Camera, Large 3.5″ Touchscreen Cons: No Video Recording, Edge is Slow, No MMS, No Flash, Camera Could Improve, Only 8 GB Review: Apple has outdone themselves this time. They combined the an iPod Touch, a cell phone, a camera, E-Mail, etc. into one little device that is like a little handheld computer in your pocket. Camera: I originally thought the camera was going to be VGA, but it is 2 megapixls. It takes good pictures that are perfect for emailing to a friend. It does not take video, which is unheard of in this day in age, but I think Apple made this choice for the better. The camera is also located in an awkward spot, at the top left of the back of the phone, where your finger might be to block it or smudge it. iPod: One of the 3 main reasons that people would actually ditch their old carrier and/or phone (if you are with AT&T) is because of the built in 8GB iPod Touch. What is it? The iPod with a twist of touch. Instead of using the click wheel to scroll through your music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts, you use your finger, All you do is flick it across the screen and your music goes up or down. If you know the first letter of what you are looking for, than there is a little bar at the right side of the screen with letters. All you do is scroll down the Side-Bar until you find the letter you want. then just tap on a song, and your item begins to play. Keep in mind, if your are not using an external audio source, such as earbuds or powered speakers, you will have to listen to it through it’s not so good sounding internal speakers. Also, movies and other videos play in widescreen, so all you have to do is turn the phone 90 degrees to the left. If you do this while browsing through your music, you will go into coverflow, which displays all of your albums at one time, Flick through them by sliding your finger across the screen either left or right, tap the album, and watch it flip over into all of the songs you have for that album. Just tap one, and it will start playing. Don’t forget, if you have a large library over 8 GB, you will have to manually put certain songs on the phone, or put songs into 1 playlist, and sync only that onto the $400 phone. Phone: Call quality is great plus a very good and loud speakerphone. You can also take 2 or more calls, and merge them, so everybody can hear and talk to each other. Visual Voicemail is stunning, and the keypad is very good. The only thing I wish for would be to use edge during a call. Overall, it is a great phone, and I would recommend buying it for anyone who dosn’t have it already.
