Who/what articles trashed the iPhone before it was even released?

I was recently listening to David Pogue on Leo Laporte's The Tech Guy show. He brought up an interesting point about how so many people were trashing the Palm Pre before it was even released saying why it was going to fail. Leo and David were talking about how the same thing happened with the iPhone before it was released. They were horribly wrong so I would like to read some of those articles.
Tip for best answer: M$8.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Criticism of the iPhone from those who got early / preview samples and those who were basing their criticism on it's prelaunch technical specifications and choice of carrier included...

1. Battery Life
2. Non-replaceable Battery
3. Problems with Touchscreen Keyboard Interface
4. Lack of Expandable Memory
5. Connection Speed problems with AT&T's EDGE
6. Screen breaking easily

Here are some articles (some of which include a mix of positive and negative points) and including one from Mr Pogue with his own criticism of the iPhone months before it's release...
