omg.

I've always been kind of anti-ipod and stuff (not that I dislike apple, I'm actually think they create excellent machines), but this is just amazing.

I want one!

This looks like a really cool pda especially with the multiple touch screen feature. A real pity that the camera is only deemed 'average' at 2.0 mega pixels but then again, we have the Digital Cameras for that; so I am not complaining. Anyone knows how much this beautiful thing costs in the US right now? An IPod within another device, how expensive is that going to be? I have always wanted to have a hand in getting a PDA after my traditional use with Sony Ericsson mobile phones. The only thing I wonder is whether Apple would be provisioned by our telcos in Singapore, it has not come out in Singapore yet and I am certain it will sooner or later. But then again, I have a dilemma to make, to delay the purchase of my 1st MAC or to wait for this IPhone. I would probably be using my Sony Ericsson K800i for at least another 2 more years, so I guess this IPhone can wait, although I can't wait to see how it works. Too bad Apple doesn't have a demo site whereby I can try out the phone features just like in the Sony Ericsson website.

That thing is so cool, I don't really like the physical design too much, but otherwise it rocks! (Good quality) Music and telecomunications!! I have music on my cell, but it doesn't sound all that good and has a bad capacity. The only problem is that if anyone in my arear had a device that flashy, they would get mugged sooo quickly. And I don't fancy that happening to me.

It looks really cool, I wonder what sony ericsson or nokia will come out with this year. My phone service ends in december and I almost get a free phone If I buy the 18 month plan again. I hope I can get a nice phone like this one.

For all those interested in the mother of all PDA/phone hybrids, the iPhone is being released soley by Cingular Wireless. It would be nice if Verizon carried it though.

I think many features of Apple's products are just plain innovative. I would say the auto-roatation of the screen is kinda cool, followed by the beautiful design of the interface.

Looks so fancy, so it will be real expensive, and i hate expensive stuff.
It seems of a big size, but the interface looks pretty cool, would like to have one of those. Also i dont think it would be supported by mexican cellphone companies, so i better dont get the info of that

The device will cost somewhere around $500-$600 when released. As one may expect, it's gonna be pretty expensive, but I have a feeling that the price will fall bout five months after it comes out.

The look and capability are awesome, but I think i read somewhere, that you will be able to use phone only in American network. That is for me European pretty sad news. What can I do with phone, if I can't call with it. :/

I really do like the look of the iPhone but it is likely to be much more expensive than even the LG Chocolate in England. I suppose some people will go out and buy it straight away so they look cool and then everyone will follow because it's so cool. But really I've found that all these apple things use the technology that we have but maximised.

Why the iPhone sucks:

Disclaimer: This is all out of opinion based on what I've heard, learned, and read about the phone. I don't have one myself and I don't plan on buying one. Ever.

The iPhone is an overrated, overpriced, and shoddy piece of equipment slapped with the i legacy and the cultured trend that goes along with it. With its initial price tag of $600, it's one very expensive paperweight.

The iPhone, in theory, is a great little gadget to have. Who wouldn't want to do everything that you can do with a laptop and a cell phone, all contained into one little device that fits in the palm of your hand?

It is very neat, in theory, that along with this, it looks sleek, shiny, and sexy, as far as technology goes. It features a touchscreen that requires no stylus, relying on touch. It features a 2.0MP camera, multimedia capability, but cannot record video. It is Internet-accessible and also is equipped with Wi-Fi.

Yay. Now I get to rip it apart.

The screen is made of glass. Which means you can scratch it very easily.

The touch screen relies on warmth from the skin. Which leads to frustration in the wintertime.

You have to buy an adapter to use some headphones with it.

The network protocol the iPhone uses is the lesser EDGE band by AT&T, a step lower than the 3G (the fastest network available by AT&T). Which means that Internet usage will be slow at best.

And although Wi-Fi may be faster, who wants to pay $10 per day use for WiFi HotSpots at Starbucks or airports? Every time?

It doesn't support instant messaging.

There's no keyboard for it anyway, so IMs won't be a huge loss. And typing on a touchscreen is going to be a *BLEEP*... it's already a pain with Blackberries, but at least we all know the QWERTY layout and can "thumb" it.

The plans are horrifically exorbitant, starting at $60/mo up to $100/mo, the latter allowing unlimited minutes and limited SMS.

The battery is literally built-in. As in Apple didn't think that you would ever need to replace the battery. Ever.

Should I keep going?

Bottom line is, it's the new thing and everyone's going to jump into the pool. But people should take a second look and realize that the pool is very shallow, because the iPhone is going to make a really bad run for your money.

$600 for the 8GB variant + [$60 monthly plan (which is the cheapest) x 2 yr contract (minimum)] = $2040

My phone right now, not being cheap itself: Motorola i580 w/ Nextel

$300 for the phone + [$45/mo x 2 yr contract] = $1380

And my plan already has unlimited nights and weekends, which for the iPhone the $80/mo plan offers unlimited nights and weekends. That would bring it up to $2520. And my phone already does everything the iPhone does.

Hrm...

Any testimonials? And not from iFans of iProducts either.

Oh, I can't wait...
