iPhone - some facts before you buy

Over here in the UK I guess we're meant to be really anticipating the release of the Apple iPhone. But I'm starting to wonder if it's all it's cracked up to be. As with any Apple product it's going to sell by the truck load, but are the people who rush out to purchase it going to end up with an inferior product? Sure it might look the part, but if it doesn't do even the most basic functions that we've come to expect from a mobile phone then what's the point of parting with the money?
