This high-tech device by Apple weighs a somewhat hefty 145g and measures up at 115mm x 61mm x 12mm. It cannot be said to be a sleek phone by any standards but this flaw can be easily forgotten once you have a look at the beautiful 3.5" 480x320 pixel touch screen display that constitutes the front of iPhone.

Most people will be able to forget the iPhone its size and weight once they see the beautiful 3.5" 480x320 pixel touch screen display that dominates the front of the device. The on screen control of the phone can be controlled with a finger, including the unlocking and powering off functionality. The text input method is the biggest stumbling block in this phone. The virtual keyboard on the screen is difficult to use, to say the least. You need a lot of time to get used to this type of function. Nevertheless, it becomes relatively easier to operate once you have got the hang of things.

Apple’s auto-correct system is quite a logical move in terms of both spelling and capitalization checks. It is actually an effective way to identify typing errors as you type on the virtual keyboard of the Apple iPhone. This quad-band GSM/EDGE device comes with an on-screen phone dial pad which is used for dialing numbers, and a convenient Recents section that keeps track of the calls missed, made and received.

The mail client on the iPhone supports POP and IMAP accounts as well as Yahoo!, Gmail, .Mac, and AOL mail. Apart from the high-tech features, this device also incorporates all the standard mobile features that form a part of all the regular mobile phones.

A handset par excellence, Apple deserves all the accolades that it is being showered with. First attempt, and Apple has been highly successful in it.
