Word on the street: the iPhone sucks

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of ZDNet collects the early review buzz on the iPhone. The verdict? Not ready for prime time. In Kingsley-Hughes' words:

Overall, I’m disappointed. When I look at the iPod of the MacBook, I see real cutting-edge innovation. Sure, you can buy cheaper but it’s hard to buy better. The iPhone lacks this cutting-edge feel and is missing key cellphone features present if phones which cost less than half the price Apple expects you to pay for the iPhone. It’s not a tool, it’s a shiny bauble.
