The phone was immediately useful once jailbreaking v1.1.1 through Safari happened. The apps and tweaks made my head spin with the possibilities. The general public needed the AppStore with v2 in order to see it.

    exactly, even just phone+ipod+safari was incredible in one device. Browsing the real internet on mobile didn't exist before iPhone.

    also while the Maps app (with google maps at the time) wasn't full-blown GPS yet that was also amazing having in your pocket.
