The BBC have given what I think is the most balanced review of the iPhone I have found - they do not seem to suffer from the fan-boy or apple-critic syndrome of some other reviewers:

BBC NEWS | Technology | Hands on with the Apple iPhone

Through all the reviews I’ve read the keyboard comes up - which is not surprising - but hardly any criticism of the greasy screen - it normally gets mentioned, but then doesn’t appear on the cons list - which is interesting.

Of all the main criticisms the keyboard looks to be the one that will give them teh biggest  problem - and I think they will be unwise to take too long to allow either an external add on or a new model with built in keyboard. The network speed and other things will be solved with new networks etc.

I am just praying that they will allow 3rd party apps soon - there are so many areas where this device could be moved much quicker forwrad by allowing the masses of geeks that no own one to put their own ideas on there.
