Well the reviews on the iPhone are starting.... After a few minutes with the iPhone, red flag number one popped up. Browsing the internet on AT&T’s network is like jumping back to that 1200 baud modem I used to have in my Commodore 64. The iPhone has a gorgeous screen that screams “TOUCH ME AND BE INFORMED!”… but while the skin is willing, the soul is tired from waiting for the page to load. From what I hear, the contract with AT&T is for two years! What a miserable disappointment. So much for the browsing, and the remote administration (even if it was possible), even the time it takes downloading my e-mail would drain the battery. It’s got Google Maps, but you’ll miss your exit waiting to the maps to download… so that’s kinda pointless too. Pairing a phone that begs to be on the internet to a network that all but abhors it is like hiring Mel Gibson to throw a Bat-Mitzvah. It’s baffling… and I hereby request that they drop the “i” from the name, because clearly, there is no “i” on this phone. AT&T's EDGE network is in no way capable of providing the things that Jobs is promising with his iPhone. I figure that the best time to short AAPL should be just before the first AT&T network crash because of all the folks trying to use their shiny new iPhones, which should be right around the 1st of July.
