How user-friendly? How expensive? Is the interface and screen
big enough?


I like mine, but the price could be better. Very user friendly
and nice screen for old eyes.


I love it. Looking forward to buying the next version when my 500
year contract expires.

FWIW. The name "iPhone" is misleading. It is an ultraportable
touch screen driven computer with lots of connectivity. It quickly
replaced my (Garmin Venture HC handheld) GPS, sold it on eBay. It
plots your current location, and (in US cities) it automatically
provides bus route information to your destination. Along the same
line, my applications already include animated weather radar (not
a great application, but they are rapidly getting better) and USGS
topographical maps. The touch screen works like a good touchpad,
that makes manipulating maps a breeze. The most impressive feature
is the touch screen, it saves space and is an extremely flexible
input method.

In the US the only downside is that you have to use AT&T service. :-)
