Not so possitive on engadget

Mossberg sounds like he's in love with the iPhone, almost every fault he identified had a "saving grace" feature which meant it was the best thing since sliced bread... I wonder how much Apple paid him!

An iPhone will $2000 (when you factor in the cheapest AT&T $59.99/month contract before tax) - a lot of money for a phone which needs the battery replaced after 300 cycles, has no cut & paste, a dodgey contact manager, no A2DP support (it's a 4/8GB iPod for crying out loud!), no Flash support, no video recording ability, no MMS and the OS takes up 700MB memory (WOW! That's insane!!)

All these faults on such an expensive phone make it sound somewhat less appealing - I'm sure it will sell to the fanbois but I don't see how the eye candy UI can make up for some of these gaffs which will no doubt be addressed in the v2 product, along with improved mobile phone connectivity (3G and HSDPA is a must).
