Yesterday our iPhone arrived and we spent the evening getting to know the interface and over all feel of the phone before our extras arrived. PolyVector and I were able to get a little bit of a feel for what the iPhone might be like by playing with an iPod Touch earlier at our local Best Buy. I gotta say that still didn’t prepare me. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to hold the iPhone for myself. It was smaller than I thought it was going to be. A lot of reviewers had complained about the iPhone’s size. Maybe I am just used to a bigger cell phone, but this still seems small to me. The weight I think it just right for the kind of device the iPhone is. As for the touch screen, it is nothing like you might expect. The screen is made of glass meaning you don’t get that wonderful rainbow impression when touching the screen.

There are a lot of pictures going over the unboxing and accessories so I placed it all in a slide show. You can check out each individual picture at our Picasa Web Album by simply clicking on the slideshow itself.

Our iSee arrived along with the screen protectors today and we immediately got those on our iPhone (as you might see in the slideshow above). The Power Support Crystal Film feels exactly like the iPhone glass surface. You honestly couldn’t tell the difference unless you were looking for it. It doesn’t obstruct the screens visibility either, which was a big concern for me. The iSee does add a little more grip tot he iPhone, but it isn’t uncomfortable to place in your pocket or hold regularly in your hand. I do have to admit we probably will never use the accompanying clip conventionally. It will most likely serve as a car mount when we get this baby ready for plugging into the car stereo.

I hope this little unboxing article quenched some of your curiosity regarding the iPhone. After a little more playing around with the device itself I might get around to putting up a more in depth review.
