Having had a play of an iPhone, I cannot (at present) see anything other than hype. I agree, they are certainly pushing the mobile evolution forward in terms of UI, but in terms of actual functionality, it’s nothing more than iPod a web browser and a phone.

Please stop trying to convince me that it’s cool… Or I shall have to beat you senseless with my Nokia E70, soon to be a Nokia E90. Granted formfactor is a little difference, but it’s definately more functional than your stinking iBrick.
