iPhone Review From Newsweek

Steve Levy from Newsweek had a chance to talk with Steve Jobs and play with iPhone for a few weeks.

Here's a summary of his iPhone review:

Pros:
Superbly engineered, cleverly designed;
Setup is a snap;
Signing up for phone service is easily handled in a straightforward process through the iTunes store;
Stunning 3.5-inch display;
iPhone has an excellent implement of state-of-the-art features like integrating contacts with the phone function;
Visual Voicemail;
E-mail message content shows up vividly;
Safari Browser leaves competitors in the dust;
Very simple to send SMS;
Google Maps works wonderfully;

Cons:
Songs can't be used as ringtones;
Remains to be seen whether corporate information technology specialists will embrace the iPhone for their users;
Not the best iPod: Nano or Shuffle is still better for the gym and the 30 or 80Gb is better for heavy music users;
No instant messaging application;
Virtual keyboard is difficult to use;
Slow EDGE data network;
Fingerprints on the screen;

Interesting quotes from Levy's iPhone review:

"It's a superbly engineered, cleverly designed and imaginatively implemented approach to a problem that no one has cracked to date: merging a phone handset, an Internet navigator and a media player in a package where every component shines, and the features are welcoming rather than foreboding."

"During our iPhone conversation, however, Jobs professed that he wasn't concerned about inflated hopes, and certainly not whether he would meet his own projections of 10 million sold in 2008: "I think we're going to blow away the expectations."
