That's a bit too charitable to the first iPhone. I had one too, and it was heavily lambasted for being virtually unusable with an Edge connection as well as being attached to AT&T... and unsubsidised. Even on wifi it was fairly stuttery, but yes, it had a real web browser which was remarkable. It was a great product though if you wanted to be future-shocked and to draw a ton of attention in public. But the 3g is where it took off as a consumer device. Of course something like this product is on the verge of snake oil in comparison.
