'Cutting edge, sleek and promising, the iPhone stirred the mobile world'
'innovative phone'
'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'
'The look is more corporate than cool, but there's a nice chrome stripe down the side, behind which is the MMC card slot, so there's no need to remove the battery to change cards'
'Along with the two integrated cameras are flash and bright screen capable of displaying up to 262,144 colors.'
'the inconvenient key placement may end up putting off potential buyers and frustrating existing users.'
'Colours in our outdoor shots were good, though even well-lit scenes came back blurred more often than not.'
'push email capabilities which, provided you've enabled a data service through your carrier, sends new e-mail messages directly to the device without forcing you to continuously login'
'You also need good eyes and a steady hand to tap out email messages on the small on-screen keyboard.'
'lackluster camera'
'The Atom's screen is fairly decent, with a 320 x 240 pixel resolution and good colour depth of 262,000.'
'The 128 x 128 front screen could have been larger, given the extra real estate available, but even when you're not using the PDA functionality, the 9300 works very well as a phone.'
'Some downsides of the Nokia 9300 include its heft, its awkwardly placed expansion slot, its nontactile, nonbacklit keyboard,'
'The keypad, for one thing, looks like a prototype's keypad more than a grown-up's one: it's not backlight and it feels terrible.'
