\r\n $\"iPhone$ \r\n

\r\n\r\n

I am so fucking pleased with this device. It was worth every penny. It would be worth twice what I paid. It's awesome. It's god in the machine.\r\n\r\n

It can't find my wifi network for more than 10 seconds, which is really irritating because it means I can't YouTube.
Tabbed fucking web browsing in a phone? Are you shitting me? That's so awesome I practically came.
The headphones suck! Why? Why do you consistently release sucky headphones, Apple? And my existing nice Bose headphones don't fit into your new curvy socket. Adapter-buying is tomorrow's activity, along with bugging the Genius Bar about why my phone can't find the freaking network.
Landscape mode is wonderful
Coverflow is very pretty but remains not so useful
It's a much better phone than it is an iPod, and thankfully so. I already have an iPod; what I wanted was a kick-ass portable Internet device. And that's what it is.
Calls? Of course I haven't made any. I have sent dozens of text messages.
Unlimited data! Unlimited text messages! Oh hell yes!
It's reassuringly heavy
The picture of the phone on the cover of the box it comes in has a little indent where the Home button is. Surprise and delight me, baby.
The blank row between the main 12 icons and the 4 function buttons is conspicuously empty. They clearly have plans for that.
Pinching and squeezing to zoom in and out is extremely intuitive.
It interferes with my speakers like no other phone has before. Is it broadcasting significantly more powerful a signal?
Mapping is great.
The photo-taking interface is generally great, which makes it once again puzzling that the picture quality is so mediocre. iCamera seems even more inevitable
Except taking selfpics is extremely hard, because the take-photo button is a soft button, so you can't see how to press it when you're pointing the camera at yourself
Video playback (from side-loaded videos) is awesome. Even the sound quality from the loudspeaker is good.
It automatically grabs all my contacts from Yahoo! Calendar! Schweet! Free online syncing! (And a serious win for Y!Cal, go team!)
God damn you, wireless! Connect!

More to come, I'm sure...\r\n\r\n
