Early reviewers, including the Wall Street Journal's reviewer Nicole, recommend holding off on purchasing the iPhone Duo due to hardware trade-offs and bugs. Rolf Winkler notes drawbacks including a heavy feel, awkward typing, front-facing screen layout issues, and a device that gets hot to the touch.
“Reviewers came out this week and said, look, there's problems with this device. The front-facing screen has layout problems. It gets hot to the touch. The middle screen is amazing. It's very cool. Is it worth all these trade-offs? And Some people, including our reviewer at the Wall Street Journal, Nicole, wrote that she wouldn't recommend buying it yet.”
