iPhone
This is indeed revolutionary. iPhone has the most advanced and intuitive touch screen and soft keypad, as well as making the most of the existing wireless network without resorting to 3G. And it runs on a dedicated version of Mac OS X.
Apple has made this 20-minutes video to showcase this work of Art and Engineering.
The cheapest plan costs US$59.90, but it includes unlimited internet time! With 24/7 internet access, iPhone has the most-wanted internet content of the US populace ready at your finger tips: internet, email, maps, stocks and weather. It has Google maps interface pre-installed, so that you can save a few hundred bucks on GPS for driving directions. You can also search for local business (e.g. sushi restaurants), get the driving directions and make calls to reserve a table, all from this lovely device! The email client have all common email service providers pre-configured, and you can read word and excel documents on it!
Very tempting... I gotta fondle one from my friends if not getting one from the store right away when I get back to Ipswich.
Yes. iPhone is not a 3G phone. How better will it get with the 3G (or 3.5G) version after a year or two?
But wait.
With unlimited internet access, it doesn't make sense to use the old-fashion wireless network for phone calls. Why isn't iPhone an IP-phone instead? Hum.. I sense a trap... the all-evil service provider. I should go for the IP-phone version, if there will be one, to behold Justice.

I actually tried one in Apple Shop here in US. I am NOT impressed with the software keyboard. It may take you awhile to learn how to input text. Otherwise, you really need a stylus to help you.
Also, you can say iPhone comes with a nice electronic map function but it can never serve as a GPS because it can never point out where you are and what is closer to you.
You maybe right. I read the review on cnet and they say the reception and GSM buzz are terrible. These are sufficient to stop me from getting this iPhone 1.0 with my own money.
