Strengths: fast and easy to use UI, excellent Safari web browser, iPod included.
Weaknesses:not enough storage, lack of 3G, weak external speaker.
Overall Evaluation: With the beautiful and simple UI on the iPhone, Apple has revolutionized the way common people interact with their phone. The Safari web browser and email application provide a phenomenal Internet experience. The PDA tools, iPod, and phone are combined brilliantly in a way that makes sense even to non tech-savvy consumers. Compatibility with iTunes purchases, and the familiar customization settings makes this an easy upgrade for anyone with an iPod. Videos look amazing on the large high-quality screen, and the interface is very fast and responsive. The main weaknesses of the phone are the lack of 3G and storage options (16GB max). The external speaker is of poor quality, so if you're looking for a product that doesn't require headphones, you may want to pass on this model. Once these small issues are resolved (hopefully in the next revision), the iPhone will be close to perfect.

Strengths: Total Communication Integration on the GO! Eye Candy for your ilife. Less junk to carry now. Very good video and sound. Fast on wifi. Lots of free & low priced apps.
Weaknesses:ATT! Edge speed. Lack of full 3G signal in 3G Service Area. Bandwidth is weak at the strongest signal strength. Battery Life with full time 3G.
Overall Evaluation: Great Phone and features. Can and will be improved by software updates. The hardware is great. Better hardware will come, but this model phone is totally 21st Century. I waited for the 3g model. I was rewarded for doing so. The 16GB capacity is actually 14GB to the user. Photo, video, and music space is livable at these levels. More would be better, but now you can carry most of what you want. Free music apps like Pandora fill in the gaps quite nicely though. All the bug related issues are rapidly being solved. Get a sturdy DC adapter from Griffin through ATT for 25 bucks that is guaranteed to charge 3g model. As I said, great phone that will get better without waiting for a hardware upgrade.

Weaknesses:Standy Battery is poorPhone function is limited when is lockedLack many office software No Speed Dial, Audio record, Stereo Blue-toothNO 3G (Biggest weakness by most people)
Overall Evaluation: I brought a great price for 350+ tax for a reburb iphone from att; condition was great like new I would said. First I thign was unlocked my phone, it created me lots of opportunity to take advantage of this phone that default just won't. However SDK is out soon which create tons of new way to take advantage of this marvelous phone. There's lots of pro about this phone than cons, yes you can't compare Nokia N95 because they differetn categoeis phone, Iphone is more design for young people that wanted creative design, and a great multi media, while N95 more for office and professinal that must need 3G, great camera and office function, however 3G iphone is soon.
