The most eagerly awaited cell phone ever is upon us Friday. Should you resist the iPhone's breathless hype, or take the plunge? Unless you're already standing in line outside an Apple or AT&amp;T store, or are prepared to mug one of the first customers to come out after the 6 p.m. launch, the answer, at least for now, will have to be "let me think about it for a week or two."

âThe phone is so sleek and thin,â reports David Pogue (New York Times) in his review of iPhone, that âit makes Treos and Blackberrys look obese.â And the software transcends. âItâs fast, beautiful, menu-free, and dead simple to operate.â If you need âto answer a call, you can tap Answer on the screen, or pinch the microscopic microphone bulge on the white earbud cord. Either way, music or video playback pauses until you hang up.â As for email, itâs âfantastic. Incoming messages are fully formatted, complete with graphics; you can even open (but not edit) Word, Excel and PDF documents.â And âthe Web browser,â he points out, âis the real dazzler.â No âstripped down, claustrophobic My First Cellphone Browser; you get full Web layouts, fonts and all, shrunk to fit the screen. You scroll with a fingertip â much faster than scroll bars. You can double-tap to enlarge a block of text for reading, or rotate the screen 90 degrees, which rotates and magnifies the image to fill the wider view.â In short, Pogue calls the iPhone, âthe most sophisticated, outlook-changing piece of electronics to come along in years.â

(InfoWorld) - Consumers starved for details about Apple's soon to be released iPhone have a few new photos and movies to peruse before getting their hands on one next week. The video section of the iPhone Web site talks about several of the technologies in the device. Muti-touch and the ability to control the interface with your fingers; OS X as the underpinnings of the iPhone; Wireless, including EDGE and Wi-Fi; and the different sensors in the iPhone are all covered. The video section continues in three sections: Phone, iPod and Internet. There are some interesting things to watch for in the videos, like the options that appear on the screen while making a phone call and how easy it is to merge calls. It is also interesting to watch the SMS and Mail sections to see the demo being shown typing with two fingers (or thumbs). This is a feature that is particularly important to BlackBerry users who have become accustomed to typing very fast with their thumbs. The photo gallery shows the iPhone in many different positions, but of particular note are pictures showing the iPhone in the dock and another showing the new earbuds with a built-in mic. The iPhone officially goes on sale on June 29, 2007.
