All the carriers are now 3G, all brandband speed.

considering the good pocket pc phones from O2 and other brands are in the 1000$ with much less memory im seriously considering this... its reliability is yet to be tested.

Everything has a SD slot, think about ... your not limited with mem.
An 8GB SD CARD is about 150 USD. By June 07, SD Cards will be larger.

Why can't they come up with Star Trek communicator already?

Uh this is going to be about the same price, that $599 USD for the 8GB is with a 2 year contract, so the price is subsidized by Cingular... Expect it to be like $900 or something CDN, if not more, I'd wager.

That's for sure .... $899.99 w/ 3 yr contract for Roger's. That's how the first 2 Treo's were. $399.99 w/ 3 Yr contract with Cingular.

Yes, fido and rogers both support 3G, man it is fast...it is already availible in the GTA area, all you need is a 3G supported phone and you are good to go. You may need to update your SIM card to a new one but no biggie

It's not even HSDPA yet, which will in theory, double what you're seeing now.

I have Wifi on my phone, I never use it.

And now ... a major concern I foreseen the iPhone will have.

Having such a huge screen and hi res might make the OS run very SLOW, regardless what CPU is powering it. Here's a little simple breakdown of what I'm talking about.

Hi Res = 320 x 320
Mid Res = 240 x 240
Low Res = 160 x 160

TREO 600 - Palm OS
Low Res Screen - Fast, but it's low res.


TREO 650 - Palm OS
Hi Res Screen - SLOW, very laggy and crashed a lot.


O2 - WM5 OS
Mid Res Screen - Slow


Sony Ericsson P990i- Symbian OS
Mid Res Screen � Smooth


HP - WM5 OS
Mid Res Screen - Slow


Nokia E61 - Symbian OS
Hi Res Screen � Smooth


Motorola Q � WM5 OS
Hi Res Screen � SLOW!


Blackberry 8707 - ???
Hi Res Screen � Smooth


Samsung i600 � WM5 OS
Hi Res Screen - SLOW!


Treo 680 � Palm OS
Hi Res Screen � Smooth


Treo 750 � WM5 OS
Mid Res Screen � Somewhat Slow

Considering everything you do with this phone is touch screen, I'd think that they already worked on it enough to make it smooth and fast, while being high res., because EVERYTHING has to be done from the screen.

Reading Endgaget, with them quoting the guy in the presentation, as well as adding their own tidbits here and there, they didn't really say that they noticed a slow screen speed, even with the screen displaying 160ppi.

We just won't know until it gets in the hands of people who can review it I guess though.

you guys obviously need to watch the Keynote demo.

The interface runs smooth as silk.

Posted by urban_legend on Jan-10-2007 17:04:

how cool is it that it knows when you put it up to your ear that you want to use the phone?



FYI

I work for Rogers, we will be picking up this phone but not for a year.

Posted by starsearcher on Jan-10-2007 17:06:

Forget the interface and the speed...the device itself is revolutionary...all the devices above are old skool And make you look like a big dork

The landscape/portrait sensor itself is incredible, as is the touch detection.

Revolutionary.

It won't hit huge market share for another generation or two... but this is huge.

I am curious tho... for those using Blackberry,etc. what is the battery life like?

The Stand By is incredible but the Talk time is average at best.

HAH!

My fucking point-and-shoot camera has a landscape/portrait sensor and it's a about a year old, nor was it revolutionary when it came out. Leave it to Apple to sell existing technology as revolutionary.

I bet your point-and-shoot camera screen does not work anywhere near as smooth as the new Apple phone. Check the demos on the Apple site.

Your point and shoot camera is just rotating pictures.

The iPhone is rotating interfaces, video, and photos.

Revolutionary my ass most wide screen keyboardless PDA Phones can do the landscape/portrait, Palm had touch screens from back in the days. All PDA Phone's batt life is horrific, you got a lot to power up and hi res or mid res screens take a lot to power up.

WRONG, only the HP unit. Everything else is normal in the bussiness / thugg world. Carrying any APPLE product makes you a DORK or DUMB ASS who doesn't know shit of anything.

When I see an Apple product on ppl = Moronic dumb ass bitches who doesn't know anything about computers and assume it's all "click and drag"

The revolutionary stuff isn't the fact it's a touch screen - it's the touch detection and UI design. Also, keyboardless PDA phones are optimized for a stylus... iPhone's touch detection is optimized for just your fingers.

Would you people just watch the fucking keynote?

Posted by illestofdananas on Jan-10-2007 18:10:

looks like i'm behind then.. can't find any info on 3G on either Fido or Rogers' site. Do they still charge you the same rates for data?
