One unique aspect of the iPhone is that you, as the buyer, get to activate it yourself using iTunes, rather than having the phone activated in-store. We figured we would activate the phone on camera to show how seamless (or non-seamless, depending on how you look at it) the iPhone activation experience is.

The Ultimate In Phones - iPhone Overview
Are you looking to buy an iPod and a phone? If I told you that you could buy both of them in the same device what would you do? Well whatever that reaction is start doing it!
The newest invention from Apple is the iPhone. The iPhone is an iPod and a phone, hence the name iPhone. If that isn't enough, the iPhone is able to use the internet and also has some of the best in high tech features. There are three key things that are noticeable about the iPhone: iPod, phone, and internet. Below are the three keys and information on them.
1. The most important part of the iPhone is, of course, the phone. With the iPhone calling your friends is as simple as touching the name or number. For the first ever you are now able to view voicemail! Visual Voicemails allow you to go through your voicemail like emails, listening to only the ones you want, when you want.
If you like to send text messages there is also a new feature, SMS. SMS is an application with a predictive QWERTY soft keyboard that corrects and prevents mistakes. This feature makes the iPhone more efficient than most smartphone's keyboards. The final feature with the phone, allow it is common with most phones, is a camera. The iPhone features a 2-megapixel camera and a photo management application that is better than any on phones today.
2. Apple has yet again came through and improved the iPod. This time, they have added it to the iPhone. With a touch-sensitive screen you are able to scroll through all of your songs, artists, albums, and playlists with just a flick of your finger. To add even more convenience you are now able to scroll through your albums with Cover Flow. Cover Flow allows you to browse through your music library by album artwork on the impressive 3.5" widescreen display.
The impressive 3.5" widescreen display is the best way to watch movies and TV shows from the iTunes Store. All you have to do is just tap the touch controls for play/pause, volume, and chapter forward/backward.
3. The iPhone also allows you to surf the web! Using an advanced Safari browser, the iPhone allows you to see the internet how it should be. If you need to see a specific item but it is to small simply tap on the multi-touch display and it will zoom in! iPhone uses a HTML email client that will get your email in the background from most POP3 or IMAP mail services and allow you to see photos and graphics with text.
If you have a problem getting lost on the road the iPhone fixed that. Using the internet you can use Google Maps and iPhone's Maps application and you will be able to instantly view maps and satellite images or get directions and traffic information. All of that from the iPhone's amazing, multi-touch display. Those three features make the iPhone a must have item. Don't get to excited yet, this hot item will not be released until June 2007.
