We’re not all that surprised to hear that a device as thin, and hardware packed (3G naysayers, hold your lip, there’s multi-touch and accelerometers in there) as the Apple iPhone may turn out to be more fragile than the average mobile phone. With a full-screen multi-touch LCD covered in glass, we cringe at the prospect…

It’s only four days left and we have more information about the iPhone from the people who actually had a chance to try it out. Some of them discover a bit disappointing lack of features of the Apple’s handset. Without further adieu, let’s start:
Video: Apple iPhone vs Nokia N95, episode 1
