## AI overview

An early hands-on opinion about the iPhone praises its interface, image and webpage navigation, and Mobile Safari, while criticizing its keyboard for symbol entry, one-handed use, limited background activity, and reliance on internet access.

## Source excerpt

I've had a new iPhone for about a week now, so I figure it's time to write up some thoughts about it. First, the little things. It is, in typical Apple fashion, an incredibly slick piece of work. Scrolling and zooming images or webpages is simple, easy, and, well, just fun to do and watch. Mobile Safari does a great job of making full webpages usable on the tiny screen.
