There really isn't much to the iPhone in terms of physical controls and features. The device weighs a somewhat hefty 145g (5.1oz) and measures up at 115mm x 61mm x 12mm (4.5" x 2.4" x .47"). For comparison, a current model 30 or 80GB iPod weighs 136g (4.8oz) and measures 104mm x 61mm x 11mm (4.1" x 2.4" x .43"). Most people will be able to forgive the iPhone its size and weight once they see the beautiful 3.5" 480x320 pixel touch screen display that dominates the front of the device. Apart from the home key that is located below it, there really is nothing else going on up front. Almost all interactions with the phone take place on the display, but we'll get to that later.

A chrome frame surrounds the glass that covers the black face of the iPhone. A matte finish metal covers up most of the sides and back of the phone where, oddly, the phone's serial number and IMEI are clearly written. The camera lens, also located on the back, is very small and unobtrusive (you can unlock iphone to get more functions for the camera) .

One of the only places where plastic is used on the device, and the only place it is used as a cover material, is along the bottom section of the rear of the device where the speaker, microphone, and standard 30-pin iPod docking port are found. Plastic was needed here so as to not obstruct the phone's antenna. Plastic is also used, sparingly, for the remaining few controls on the iPhone. The ringer switch and volume controls, which are found on the left edge of the device, are made of plastic. A well hidden SIM card slot is located on the top of the device, sitting between the plastic standby/power key and the 3.5mm headset/headphone jack.

Today Motorola unveiled the MOTOPURE H15 and the H780 headsets. The The 14g H15 features an active flip microphone boom that lets users power up the headset and answer a call in one quick flip, high quality wind suppression technology and Motorola's industry topping noise suppression technology named CrystalTalk.

The H780 features the same basic technology as the H15, but in a slightly larger package that lacks the wind noise prevention system. The H780's extra bulk allows it to contain a battery that is good for a solid 7 hours of talk time rather than the 4.5 hours that the H15 is capable of. Even with that extra size, though, the H780 is still lighter than its brother, coming in at a feathery 11g. And while it lacks the folding boom of the H15, the H780 has a very easy to use sliding power switch that lets you see at a glance whether the device is powered up or not.
