Alex has an iPhone (two, actually) and posted his first impressions (but not until he shared his activation woes).

In talking to Alex and reading other reviews, the general consensus is that the iPhone is very good, but underneath it all it's still the same old carrier BS. I did have a chance to play with it briefly this morning and it's undoubtedly a very, very slick device (in both form factor and UI experience). We may have been wrong about condemning the choice of glass. It looks like it's quite durable, and actually didn't smudge too much in the few minutes I used it. It may sound scary, but hey, the only thing that scratches glass is diamonds and other glass right?

I am still probably not going to be getting one, the convergence with my Dash to Exchange is simply awesome, and I can still get work e-mail through Good Technologies. Aside from that, the other thing that really stood out for me was the recessed headphone jack. One of my biggest complaints with Windows Mobile devices has always been the use of the smaller 2.5mm ("non-standard") jack. What's the point of using a "standard" 3.5mm jack if most headphones, including those expensive Shure and Ultimate Ears that you bought for your iPod, don't fit? And who wants an ugly adapter sticking out of this beautiful phone?

Anyone have one? What do you think?
