Uncle Walt Mossberg's review of the iPhone is out! After using the iPhone for three weeks, the verdict is finally in. The topic we were most curious about was the keyboard, which even he was skeptical of.
Walt says:
"The iPhone's most controversial feature, the omission of a physical keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard on the screen, turned out in our tests to be a nonissue, despite our deep initial skepticism. After five days of use, Walt -- who did most of the testing for this review -- was able to type on it as quickly and accurately as he could on the Palm Treo he has used for years. This was partly because of smart software that corrects typing errors on the fly."
Among other interesting comments in the review:
- iPhone lived up to its battery life claims
- no way to make songs ringtones.
- camera takes great shots but no way to shoot video
- no way to copy and paste
- no week view in calendar mode
