The first iPhone review is out :)

[myjellyass]

Blaringly obvious fake even if just for one reason; they go on about how the SIM card is non removable, but if you cast your minds back to the original keynote introduction, Steve Jobs clearly points to the SIM card slot on the top... Doing!
Also, those pictures obviously never existed.
Complete bull...

ps, if it was a joke then they're not very funny cause i saw no humour in there whatsoever!

I bought a German made electric razor (Braun) and the thing is so solid I could probably run over it 10 times with a Suburban and it wouldn't faze it. Go Germany.

Yup. I vote fake too. they all had sore throats and couldn't try out the voice dial feature... but managed to do 30 calls... hmmmm

 

[twoodcc]

well, if it's fake, they did a pretty good job. but yeah, it probably is fake

Seriously.....this is totally fake. Apple of all companies would know better than to make a GSM phone with a permanent SIM card. Ha!

Also, if they really had an iPhone and opened it up, they'd tell us what transceiver apple's using for GSM and if it's perhaps a piece of hardware that's 3G/UMTS capable. My money is on apple putting the 3G hardware in there but disabling it in software for the time being (like 802.11n on the C2D macs).

It is certainly amusing...

One annoyance is that Apple implemented basically the same authentication model on the iPhone as it is on desktop Macs. What it means is that any activity requiring root permission will result in user being prompted for a password. It is really annoying to enter password whenever trying to make a call to anybody named Steve or send any email inquiring about jobs.

And the sheer ridiculousness (if you didn't think it was a fake up until this point):

We did not have a chance to test voice recognition abilities of the iPhone as we all had sore throats that made talking a painful experience for the last couple of days.

Touching screen with a nose is not always practical and icons are too small in order to be correctly touched by a big toe.

We did not test iChat on the iPhone as we could not find another iPhone user to chat with.

iPhunes? rotfl... that's the stupidest name I have ever heard.

 

[MacGuffin]

Really? Did you have to take a fake article about the iPhone and twist it into an attack on Americans?

I'm American and I know very well that Germans are known for quality craftsmanship...

Seriously, some MacRumors posters seem enlightened yet love to stereotype Americans.

Oooh, touchy touchy.

Go back and look at the post that he was responding to. It was by someone who freaked out at the statement that the iPhone seemed almost good enough to have been built in Germany.

If that wasn't American small-mindedness, nothing is.

after world war 2, the german army demilitarized. thus, germany's best engineers went on to design world-class products instead of designing world-class weapons. this partially explains germany's dominance in precision products, and why their shiz cost so much.

That's about the strangest explanation I've ever heard. None of these engineers is still working, most of them are probably dead.
Btw., interesting article to read: Krupp

Lots of cons but still a high rating.

Ah the beauty of Apple

 

[ShiggyMiyamoto]

Haha. My vote goes to fake as well. There should have been a poll made...
