I am waiting on my friend to get home from work and get the phone activated and sync'd. Hopefully, he calls in a few but I was wanting to hear other people's experience with the device.



At least before tomorrow when all those "campers" get their iPhone 4. :P

    He made it home and got his phone up and running. FaceTime worked like a champ. You can even just face time dial without having to dial the cell number. Very neat. I would rate the quality as good as skype over DSL.

    My number one observation is that holding the phone in a normal fashion results in a very unflattering camera angle. Meaning, you're seen from below, with an emphasis on the underside of the chin and a view up the nostrils. The phone can be held higher and the camera angle looks good, but it is uncomfortable and awkward.



    This isn't a comment on the iPhone in particular. Rather it seems like something inherent to handheld video conferencing.
