valleywag.com— A chart of the top-rate reviewers who examined the Apple iPhone and what they thought. They differ on the keypad, but they all agree the network speed is the phone's Achilles heel.

Sure, if you live in southern Ontario. The rest of the country is still on GSM and CDMA 1x... ugh. And Roger's coverage area in Newfoundland is pathetic.
I purchased one this past weekend (waited until Saturday). I loved the device, but sadly I'm returning it solely due to the lack of a sufficient network on AT&T. Foremost, they won't give you a straight answer on their network T&C's. Secondly, as it turns out, despite being able to at one time get a Cingular signal at my home -- 50 mile radius of New York City -- I get zilch on the iPhone with AT&T. Turns out I'm in an area that, despite population density, doesn't come under their network. Have tried to call for service and even stop into an AT&T store, and I get the same reaction (one day later, on the Sunday after launch): "(shrugging)I dunno, oh well, call customer service...ha ha, they're closed". Until AT&T improves their network to be something other than 2 tin cans and some twine, the iPhone will end up being half-the-device it promises.
