iPhone Video Review and Screen Fingerprints

Thu, Jun 28, 2007 | by Stéphane Dion

Here’s a video featuring Ed Baig and Jefferson Graham from USAToday. The video does a nice recap of iPhone features. All iPhone reviews are extremely positive so far. The only negative aspects reported by reviewers, is AT&T poor coverage and slow data network.

But look at iPhone screen picture. If you were wondering if fingerprints would be visible on the screen, here’s the answer! Watch the video for even more fingerprints.

Do you still want to buy an iPhone? Euh…of course you do!

Well of course there will be fingerprints showing up on the GLASS cover. But with the ambient light sensor activated I’m sure fingerprints will be a very minor issue.

What you (unfortunately) see is that the distance sensor is not working as expected because the screen is still lighted when he has it on his ear.
What you also see is that he has problems to select the picture he intends to select and it does by far not look as smooth as it did in the demos.

Ya i noticed that too… I think he was just an idiot and was not pressing directly on the thing he wanted. He was holding it an a bizarre angle for the camera so I’m sure thats all that was. When Steve was showing us it was perfect. This other dude just didn’t take his time.

However… The IR sensor was not working as advertised… I’m not sure if the backlight was just set to stay on or its because he was half holding it on his ear or perhaps it just sucks… I doubt that it doesn’t work as Steve told us, but i guess we will see won’t we.

I think that the distance sensor only works if you are in a call or using the phone mode. Pretty sure he was just pretending he was on a call. Dont you agree?

yeah i see the fingerprints, but you can get good cleaners out there. the iPhone has optical glass so you can’t just use anything. There are two I know of but I ended up with
actually a pretty good one called iKlenz. The other one is called iKleer i think but I like the travel case and cloth the iKlenz has.

this can be worked around and with the iphones scratch resistant screen, you can actually have a good looking phone far longer than any other wireless phone.
