Product description for: Apple iPhone 1st Generation - 16GB - Black (AT&T) Smartphone
  • Breakthrough internet device
  • Multi-touch Multi-touch
  • Intelligent keyboard
  • Built-in advanced sensors
Product Information
iPhone combines three products - a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching - into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.

Product Features
  • Breakthrough internet device
    iPhone features a rich HTML email client and Safari - the most advanced web browser ever on a portable device - which automatically syncs bookmarks from your PC or Mac. Safari also includes built-in Google and Yahoo! search. iPhone is fully multi-tasking, so you can read a web page while downloading your email in the background over Wi-Fi or EDGE.
  • Multi-touch
    iPhone features a user interface based on a large multi-touch display and software that lets you control everything using only your fingers. So you can glide through albums with Cover Flow, flip through photos and email them with a touch, or zoom in and out on a section of a web page - all by simply using iPhone's multi-touch display.
  • Intelligent keyboard
    iPhone's full QWERTY soft keyboard lets you easily send and receive SMS messages in multiple sessions. And the keyboard is predictive, so it prevents and corrects mistakes, making it easier and more efficient to use than the small plastic keyboards on many smartphones.
  • Built-in advanced sensors
    iPhone's accelerometer detects when you rotate the device from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes the contents of the display, so you immediately see the entire width of a web page or a photo in its proper landscape aspect ratio. The proximity sensor detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the display's brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.

Reviews & Research

CNET Editors' reviewGood

  • THE GOOD

    "The Apple iPhone has a stunning display, a sleek design, and an innovative multitouch user interface. Its Safari browser makes for a superb Web surfing experience, and it offers easy-to-use apps. As an iPod, it shines."

  • THE BAD

    "The Apple iPhone has variable call quality and lacks some basic features found in many cell phones, including stereo Bluetooth support and 3G compatibility. Integrated memory is stingy for an iPod, and you have to sync the iPhone to manage music content."

  • THE BOTTOM LINE

    "Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player."

Good , to start using touch screens with

In general I like the phone it's pleasure to use that phone But has the following drawbacks:

1-Using "push" feature will make phone drain battery and phone will get too hot from any usage.
2-Built-in caller doesn't have "T9 system" dialing features.
3-Can't run applications in background as mainly I want skype and iSip application to be always running and to see my status in the status bar near battery icon but due to iPhone OS/SDK limitation this is not implemented - too bad :(.

4-No Blue-tooth ------- Be warned -------- No Blue-tooth

5-Speaker is very low :(.

6-It's slow if you compare it to 3G and very very slow if you compare it to 3Gs.

Still phone is good as I switched off the "Push" feature and added bought a louder ring tone which is a bit louder and there is one application from cydia named "Bacgrounder" can help in running applications in background but no icon in status bar (it's lame for iPhone OS/SDK) as this will require Jailbraking and that kind of stuff.

So it seems If you want to use iPhone to achieve all your needs like having your custom ring tones and having Bluetooth your are enforced to jailbreak it.

Fun Gadget

I rated this as average because i am also a user of the itouch which is also an apple product. It is the exact same as the iphone besides the gps, phone, and texting. There is no monthly fee it is just one flat fee of $200. You get on the internet with wifi which can be reached almost anywhere. I use it al the time and would recommend it to everyone! Its a great device that gives you everything the iphone does. The iphone does give great cell service and lets you surf the internet while driving.

iPhone is good, but not great

The iPhone is a good cell phone with fun bells and whistles. BUT... some things it won't do (and you'd think it would):
1. Play music through a Bluetooth, instead of having it wired to the headphones.
2. Record notes or messages.
3. Voice dialing.
4. Download music and videos through mainstream internet and not have to use iTunes, thus paying through the nose.
5. Download regular ringtones and use them without paying through iTunes.

I've only had my iPhone for a month now, so there might be a few other things that the phone doesn't do, that regular cell phones do.
