Thats pretty sleek looking, looks like Apple has found another winner. I might be looking into getting a phone like that, makes it worth while.

Not that big of a deal, "OK" design, but no keyboard. On screen keyboards are slow and a major hassle in everyway ... like the push and pull e.mail. But, being with Palm OS and knowing everything about the Treos ... Treo4Life. Unlimtied amount of apps from day one!

4GB - 8GB June 2007? Fuck that, I have a 8GB SD card on my Treo and buy June, SD cards will be larger. Plays movies and mp3s? Nigga Please, did that with my older model of the Treo 3 years ago!

Only fools would buy and support Apple! If Apple comes out with a washer and dryer, people would jump on that shit right away! Since Mac's have hit the mainstream market, it has made computer illiterate even more illiterate �It� works at home; it�s just click and drag!� No it�s not, you got to understand how things work and how the OS runs.

It's a cool phone, but the on screen keyboard is iffy and no SD slots is prob. It seems to be a nicer O2 PDA Phone.

Well golly gophers, who didn't see this coming?

Hahah oh man did you ever read my mind.

There is absolutely no allure to Apple desktop computers, or even their laptops, as far as I'm concerned. Unless you want to learn a different OS, then fine, but otherwise what's the point when you can get a PC that does the same things for less money, and you'll actually know how to use it? Coming from an all-Windows environment, OS X is very counter-intuitive.

"Oh but there are no viruses for Macs!" Well hey there, Apple has become mainstream. Give it time. Oh yes, give it time. Previously, Symantec updated their Antivirus For Macs once every 3 years. Now, they're doing it yearly. There's a reason for this, and it isn't only to sell more of their shitty product

When it comes to looks, Sony has them beat. Power for the price as far as laptops, every other laptop maker on the face of the earth. $1249 for a machine with only 512MB RAM and a 60GB harddrive? Hilarious. Quality? Apple isn't that great anymore in that aspect. Just look at all the prematurely broken iPods and Macbooks/Macbook Pros that overheat.

I guess I'm just raging against the sudden trendiness of this stuff. Or is it really that Apple generally looks awesome, but doesn't really work that well? Or perhaps people are stupid enough to be sucked into Apple's marketing?

I agree that the lack of expandibility sucks, but other than that the phone looks really slick. The [multi] touch screen was an obvious decision. Apple couldn't just release a regular smartphone with a keyboard, that's not what the company is about. As for how it performs...well we'll just have to wait and see.

that's right! they're about form over function ..

i will never buy an apple product

I love apple products. They save me space and I have yet to see a desktop computer that is so compact as my Imac. I don't mind paying a premium for the esthetic value. I agree the learning curve to learn Mac OS X is about a week and was frustrating at first but for a home computer it works quite well.

Exactly, as of now, the whole thing sounds a little too good to be true (although it certainly has a matching price tag), so I'll wait to see real users' experience on this. I can already think of a few potential pitfalls with dirt, grime, and scratches.

Also, I'm thinking the lack of physical buttons will make typing without looking so so much harder. The movement of your fingers will be inaccurate when you can't really feel with your skin where you're moving your finger.

Why bring the circumcision debate into this?

:P

Quad-band GSM w/EDGE

The screen on this iPhone will be scratched to shit within a month of owning it, I'm sure...

LMFAO!!! It doesn't even have 3G, which my piece of shit no-music, no-camera Samsung flip-top has!!

No 3G? Debut it as a big media phone and they provide dial up capabilities, so much for downloading content.

I have to admit, I love the idea and it looks pretty freakin' good. Haven't really read the details though. At the end of the day, I hope it fails miserably and crushes Apple for good!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Silly Apple. Trix are for kids.

tru sayin.. they're probably relying heavily on their WiFi capabilities.. tho how many providers are even offerring 3G.. then again i'm thinkin Canada, prolly a good 500 years before we'll see it here anyway

I personally don't give a shit about any celluar content downloadability, so no 3G in a device like this is A-OK with me. If my phone had WiFi capability I'd never buy another phone in my whole life.
