Apple's iPhone: The Future is Here

It Crashes?
Yes the iPhone crashes, and for the comparison that I hate to make, it crashes less than my Windows Mobile 5 based Blackjack.
The iPhone has only crashed a couple of times for me, and each time it did the same thing. I'd be browsing the web and all of the sudden the application I was using would quit and take me back to the home screen as if I hit the home button. There are no errors, no ugly messages, nothing; it's literally as if you accidentally hit that home button.
The first time it happened to me I thought I actually hit the home button; later realizing that the home button would require a deliberate press with a reasonable amount of force to activate, I came to the next conclusion: yay I just crashed the iPhone.
Both times Safari crashed on me, I had just opened a popup window and I was rotating the iPhone at the same time. I did that same exact deadly combination multiple times and it only crashed twice, and only then did I know that the iPhone was truly running the same Safari that I had on my Mac. There are many times when Safari under OS X will just keep crashing for me over and over again, only to be totally fine after it gets the crashing out of its system. I will have made no hardware or software changes, Safari will just crash two or three times in a row and then be fine for the next month. I don't get it, but now I can take that behavior with me in my pocket. Apple, how did you know the key to my heart?
All kidding aside, the device is robust; it handled my small library of 1045 pictures without a problem, and Apple has already proved that it knows how to manage multiple GB of music and videos quite well. The device is stable and the only two crashes I've had in my extended usage of the the device were handled gracefully. The only indication I had that the device had crashed was a message from iTunes the next time I tried to sync, asking me if I wanted to send anonymous crash log data to Apple.

Reading this review again in 2020, it's fascinating to see how far we've come since 2007. Amanda's remarks about the keyboard, in particular, seem so quaint today.
