'we were down at our local O2 store before opening this morning to pick up ours, thanks to the nice chaps at O2 - the UK’s exclusive iPhone carrier.'
'The iPhone's back side is a textured silver, rather than the polished stainless steel of the full-sized iPod models, so my guess is that both the front and back of the iPhone will be more resistant to scratches than either the full-sized iPod or the original iPod nano.'
'Even in a noisy environment, I could listen to audio from arm's length'
'Call quality was the worst we've heard on a high-end device in years'
