When you have people gasping infront of you when you show them the cool features of the phone.. you know you have a great fucking toy!!!

exactly. great fucking toy. thats all this thing is. won't argue there. but its not deserving of such a title from a supposed "respectable" publication.

but hey, i'm sure this "award" had a pretty positive effect on the demand and publicity for the iphone. just look at this thread.
