yeah, but it isn't a review from America, therefore it isn't relevant. kind of like music, movies, telivision, and foreign policy.

jk.. about the music part.

Seriously this is pretty funny, not for or against the iPhone, just funny - especially the comments:
In line for iPhone

There was a similar issue with the Nexus One.

I was able to get in and out with my bumper in 3 minutes.

The phone is incredible. The screen resolution is unmatched by any handheld device I have seen. the retna display is leaps and bounds ahead of the competition. The phone is beautiful with its glass front and back w/ aluminum trim on the side (which i was hesitant to cover up with the bumper). The OS and apps are lightning fast and although i knew it has both a rear and front facing camera, i was still in awe when i hit the little flip button on the screen and it changed to the camera facing me... but im a nerd.

I took some pics of the lines at the apple store which I will post later. I am anxious to see how the pics came out.

Something funny.... In the apple store, there was some lady buying a macbook and she says to a sales rep "all of this chaos is for a phone?" and the rep replys... "ma'am... It is so much more then just a phone".

He is right. I am not an apple fanboy, but I am starting to see the "apple culture" that exists and I am starting to understand it. And for those of you who think that is silly... You should probably not speding your time on a BMW forum.
Any issues with BT in car ?

I'm pissed with the reception BS if you hold the phone. Such a crappy design! I'm NOT spending $30 on that rubber bumper either

What version of OS X are you running? Apple keeps the versions in sync - it generally won't try to update iTunes (or other software) if the updated software would require a later version of the OS.
