Consumer Reports: First Look: The iPhone 4 exceeds even its high expectations

by

I think we all know who Consumer Reports is and they sent this to me about the new iPhone 4, it’s basically their first impressions of it.. Good read for sure.. What’s below isn’t exactly the whole article, hit the link a the very bottom for the whole thing including video… There’s two links actually at the bottom, one is directly to the article and other is to their other iPhone related things.
