The UI is the biggest question mark in the iPhone’s future, and the keyboard, the most key driver of the adoption curve … http://sramanamitra.com/blog/999

i’m not saying they’re exactly planted, but seeing as jobs himself spoke to most of the reviewers in person on one or the other occasion… i think he could be pretty sure of what he would get. i mean… suppose i went to wwdc and got a chance to play with an iphone, and afterwards i tell steve “i think your phone is nothing special” – you think i’d get to do a review? (of course it also matters for whom i write, but still, you get the idea.)

i am not trying to be cynical here, i’m just not half as enthusiastic about the iphone anymore than i was when it was first announced. i believe there are/soon will be quite a number of better phones out there, but then again, we people in europe have always been served better than you guys over there considering mobiles.

@phil

I think that’s a really cynical way of looking at it. I don’t believe you can really call Newsweek, USA Today, The Wallstreet Journal, AND the New York Times “plant” reviews….

It is nice to see such positive information coming out just before the release – particularly as Apple seems to be bombarding us with great new info as well (ie, the contract prices). I think the iPhone is going to make a much bigger impact than even we fanboys were predicting!
