'Cutting edge, sleek and promising, the iPhone stirred the mobile world'
'innovative phone'

'There is not TouchFLO interface though, which is just as well since the design of the LCD is the traditional kind with a raised bezel around it, which makes finger swiping a little difficult.'
'speaker independent voice dialing and command system'
'Most frustrating is the placement of the soft menu keys in landscape mode; they're positioned on the extreme opposite ends of the keyboard instead of right underneath the menu options on the display.'
