Apple iPhone Cell Phone Review - Intro

Welcome to our comparative review of the Apple iPhone; a feature-by-feature matchup against the LG Prada, Treo 750, Blackberry 8800, Helio Ocean, and Nokia N95. To say the iPhone comes with high expectations is like saying the ocean is a little bit wet. Apple's first foray into the competitive cell phone market comes with the sort of pre-launch hype that most companies would dream of, but this sort of thing can backfire if the product doesn't live up to the hype. That's why we have taken a comparative approach to this review, contrasting the iPhone's functionality to that of other popular handsets such as the Treo 750 and BlackBerry 8800. As always we will be examining every feature in depth. Our testing looks at the phone's sound quality, the camera's image quality and the touch screen's usability. So does the iPhone live up to the expectations? The answer is a qualified yes.
