    The Startac form factor (and dual battery configuration) has yet to be surpassed.

    Great job Giz. The iPhone is on top of the evolution ladder, as it should be.

    @Weihovah: Sorry, don't buy it. Not including a feature common to every other phone on the market and being unable to recieve MMS like every other phone on the market = FAIL. There are tons of phones capable of emailing photos as well as MMS. Apple just dropped the ball on that one.

    @bhjs1: i'm gonna go raving-lunatic on matt for doing it this way. i'd understand palm pre, or better yet, blackberry bold, but iPhone being the latest and greatest? that's either raging opinion, or unbridled fanboyism.
