Photos: A guided tour of the iPhone

It's arrived. Our lucky, lucky US colleagues at CNET.com have an iPhone in their feted hands and have generously taken a great bunch of photos to share the experience. Bless them.

We've got a metric tonne of other coverage for you too. Most importantly, here's our full, in-depth review. And here's what happened at the launch. Here's our quick guide to everything you ever wanted to know about the iPhone. And here's a whopping great list of everything we've ever written about the thing, from our spectacularly wrong early guesswork to our obsessive need to catalogue every little detail.
