Finally its out... and out with a BANG! And such is its furore that owing one has become a status symbol. The Apple iPhone is truly a sensational device that sets benchmark with its innovative design, sleek interface and top-notch music and video features. Plus, it comes with the advantage of superb user friendliness, to ensure it becomes your best buddy.

Probably, what makes iPhone a delight at first place is its impressive persona. With trim lines, brilliant display and lacks of buttons, the handset sits on a pedestal where even LG Prada and HTC touch cannot go. The phone measures 115mm tall by 61mm wide by 12mm deep, but of course feels much smaller when held - even thinner than the Motorola RAZR.

The Apple iPhone's display is its showpiece. It is a full touchscreen, and wins the laurels not only for what it shows, but also for how one uses it. The display take full advantage of the pho ne's size, and comes with a 89mm (3.5 inches) size. It has 480x320-pixel resolution, and translates into brilliant colours, effortless movements and sharp graphics.

Depending on what you want to do, the touchscreen becomes your number keypad, your keyboard, your Safari browser and your music and video player. The operation is easy and pleasurable. Typing was easy, and though there was no tactile feedback, the presence of correction software helped minimise errors by suggesting words ahead of time.

In true Apple style, the Menu system of Apple iPhone is simple to use, intuitive and very attractive. The icons liven up the setting, while navigation is like passing hot knife through butter. There is also an option for zoom - a very useful feature while browsing or reading text.

Other noteworthy features of Apple iPhone includes - 2 MP camera with video capability, audio/ video player, Built in hands free, Photo album, Photo editor, Voice memo, Google maps, Bluetooth, WLAN, EDGE, GPRS and GSM.

All in all, Apple iPhone is quite an revolutionary device in the market. Despite its lack of 3G potential, it does quite well to add class to your lifestyle. Sony Ericsson W810i
