Someone Used an iPhone?

Lets hope this IS the real guy, otherwise he's screwed! The write-up seems plausible. I recall reading the leak of the safari capabilities on iPhone, and a mention of holding down your finger for a information bubble was part of the report.
How did typing seem on the phone? I see you said you made two typos. Did you gain any feeling one way or another as to how it worked?

Oh, I don't know, you look like you're having fun... Though, what are you doing?
Sometime in the distant future, I *might* consider buying whatever generation of iPhone they happen to have released. But in the meantime, you'll be able to link this entire thread to Wikipedia's iPhone entry and brag that you got to hold one of the very first.
MacRumors need a Wine God

So you lied to Pat about not being a blogger. How can you be trusted with anything you post?
Fake
Well - except it sounds just like another post at another site (and no I can't remember the link, but it was last week) and that iteration had no name, and no youtube information, and it did name the 'swanky' restaurant in nyc where this supposedly happened.
The problem with this message is it is almost exactly the same 'setup' as that one, and almost the same paragraphs just slightly modified... Now I wish I remembered where I saw it.

I'm pretty sure the guy is legit.
Anyway he doesn't write like some snarky 12-year old who would get his rocks off trying to fake an anonymous audience that he got to stroke the mighty iPhone...

the link to that story was posted in this thread. however, other that taking place in a restaurant the stories are nothing alike.
for everyone complaining about whether this is real or not, at least it was an interesting read. thanks to the writer if its fabricated or not! 
You have never seen Aperture then I guess.
I have no reason to doubt the story. As for waters asking questions of customers, I ind that quiet normal and acceptable. A few years back we were at the Raffles hotel in Singapore over Christmas, and my wife was wearing a Dirndl, the traditional Bavarian dress, and the waitress politely asked what the dress was and where it came from as she had never seen such a dress. So long as its polite, where is the problem?
Yeah I got the same feel. No one reading this has used the iPhone so who the hell even knows if what was said was true. Convenient the writer compared it to a treo.
I think at the end one line is missing -- "Then I woke up."
Hey, thanks for posting the review and for doing what every single one of us wish we had been able to do. I am envious!
As far as whether this is some viral marketing effort or not, so what!!! I want Apple to sell at least 1 million iPhones next Friday. That way I am protecting my investment of $599 + $175 for breaking a contract + $130 for a headphone + $200 or so for other accessories + $960 for data plan so....
SELL APPLE SELL!!!!!

Close to the same story... fake...
That sounds more like a Chablis. To me, this submission has a buttery, round mouthfeel, possibly from malolactic fermentation, as well as substantial earthiness, mineral and flinty notes, followed by a long, extremely believable finish.
I just hope one tenth of this is true....06/29/2007 Friday 6:00 PM EDT please get here so we can know once and for all what is real and what is not.
Am I buying one? Yes, an 8 GB..
