“Apple has succeeded in crafting a unique phone that is superior to everything else on the market. In one great leap Apple has rewritten the rules for mobile web browsing, invented a completely new touch-sensitive interface, and evolved the iPod,” Stuff Magazine reports.
“In the hand, the iPhone oozes sexiness; its wide, high-resolution screen is encircled by a halo of chrome and wrapped on its back side by cool brushed metal. When you hold it, it’s thinner and lighter than pictures would suggest: it feels like you are holding the future,” Stuff Magazine reports.

Reviews like this in men’s gadget magazines are going to be the best advertising the iPhone will ever get.
was there any doubt that apple leads the future
Chrissy – Stuff is a men’s gadget mag now? Man, go away for a week or so and the whole world changes.
well put Chrissyone. LA-Times has registered more searches for iphone than for sex, so maybe a centerfold of a scantily clad iphone in the middle of a mens mag would do wonders too.
check out nytimes.com, really funny David Pogue iphone video.
Stuff is better described as a soft-core girlie magazine for 20-something men full of gadget ads.
never seen a man full of gadget ads, that sounds serious!
Now that’s what I call a review. 5 out of 5 stars!
I love this Stuff magazine. I wanna hold the future now.
Funny, cause Stuff Magazine always promotes other products other than Apple’s.
yeah! I’m holding the future… right here baby
They also have a video review on the same site:
All positives except for when he said “typing on iPhone is not on par with a Blackberry.”

A google search for “iPhone” now returns 141,000,000 results, up from 91,000,000 the day after the iPhone release…
And amazingly, it’s just the beginning… :0
Ooops!
Make that “141,000,001” returns.

Hey Jim! Long time no read. How was Lake Mead?
It’s like a tricorder on steroids.
Google just brought up 197,000,000 for iphone.

True. But more accurately –
IT’S THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY.
DNA would be proud.
“typing on iPhone is not on par with a Blackberry.”
I actually enjoy typing on the iPhone, where, typing on a BlackBerry is about as enjoyable as a root canal.
A review from “Stuff”? What’s next: The Weekly World News?
I would hope the iPhone is not on par with a Blackberry. That would mean they’re equal.
Blackberry et. al., have had their day in the sun.
They’ve already been eclipsed and don’t even know it.
justified’s comment means very very good news for the AAPL stock, since the only potentially valid complaint about the iPhone itself seems to be the one about not being able to type on it as well as on a Blackberry, for example. If consumer preference for the touch screen proves out, then this is very very bad news for other manufacturers such as RIMM and MOT, unless they can bring out new models that have touch screens.
So the FUD about iPhone not having a keyboard (BBC comment) is going to be seen to be so much hot air, disinformation, if you will.
The main point about no buttons is that the iPhone keyboard can be amended in software, whereas its competitors are all stuck with bringing out new models with new buttons. This will put them way behind the iPhone as new features emerge thereon. So thank you justified for bringing us all this good news.
Good review. Too bad the reviewer doesn’t know the difference between brushed metal and matte metal. I wouldn’t say the back of the iPhone is “brushed”.
I held the future in my hands! And it is smaller and lighter than you think. It still has that compact, solid, well-built feel that you come to expect with Apple’s products.
Thanks wandering joe,
that one was almost as funny as his last iPhone video!
Laughing so hard I’m wiping the tears from my face.
“…it feels like you are holding the future”? I say Apple bribed the reviewer with a Zune and 25 Zune Marketplace points to write that garbage. Nobody likes or has even heard of the iPhone. The IT guys where I work don’t want to have anything to do with it so you know it sucks.
C’mon. The future has come and gone and you Apple lemmings know it. The Zune has been out mid November—that was when the world got a glimpse of the future. Everything else since then is a Zune wannabe. Where’s the iPhone points? I rest my case.
Your potential. Our passion.™
