If you have time, watch the full demo of it on:
http://www.apple.com/
(bottom left hand side, click on "Macworld Keynote" but it is very long)
This has been a long awaited 'Mac Rumour' for over a year now, and it looks very impressive...Even just for the scrolling action alone.
But it's not gonna be released in the States until June, and they hope to get it to Europe for Sept/Oct.
$500usd for a 4GB & $600usd for an 8GB.

To be honest, I have a "Nokia N80" and it does all the things the iPhone does, and I still only ever use it for normal telephone phone calls and text messaging.
I'm a 100% loyal MacMan, but there's a lot of bells, clicks and whistles on this iPhone that just arn't doing for me, and I'm sure your everyday user will never make use of either, but then again, if my service provider gave me one for free (as they did the Nokia N80), I'd give it a try.

I'm looking forward to getting an iPhone....as soon as the contract for my Palm Treo expires...the Palm is shit! (with the greatest respect to dear Ed.)
1. it needs that software support as you need 3rd party software to get the ringer loud enough to hear.
2. somehow I manage to turn the ringer volume down to zero using the buttons on the side without realizing, meaning lots of missed calls.
3. you cant have ringer and vibrate at the same time (but the proper switch is good)
4 it crashes A LOT and has to be reset with a paper clip (eventually I found the little tool in the stylus)
Anywa, I just gace cingular my email addresss, we'll see when they can get one to me

images of you employing a man with a silver tray carrying the phone about like Lord What'shisname in Chigley/Trumpton are in my brain.
I fully intend to road test this device for U75.
I know the internet will be shit, Cingular are notoriously slow so it's going to have to use it's built-in wi-fi. I'll be interested if I can transfer my Palm address book

Is this two year contract thing standard in the States? I notice that the iPhone contract with Cingular is also two years - that's a hell of a period to recoup device subsidy...

yep, though only a perfunctory 2meg with no flash and no zoom.

No bad thing, digital zoom is shite and not worth bothering. And I've yet to see a flash on a phone useful if you're more than a foot or so away.

True, but with anything under 5meg, you're never going to get better than a snappy snap camera, which is what most phones are used for. I'm very impressed with my Sony K800i phone's camera, the flash works really well for as you say, close up shots - ie out with your mates or on holiday, etc.
Maybe the next versions camera, abilities will be better as they make more room with a more compact internal architecture.
This is, after all, their first attempt with components that must have been integrated at least nine months ago if it's ready to go to manufacture now.

Dunno about the 5mp thing, my first digital point and click camera was 3mp and the new Sony 3m easily beats its shots in terms of quality...anyway, for me it's not the zoom or the flash its the shutter speed. The Sony phones ime tend to have decent shutter speeds compared to other camera phones (I guess we should just call em phones now that most phones have cameras?). Whether the iPhone has remains to be seen.

I've never wanted a mobile that does other things. I don't see the point. But I have to say that iPhone looks very nice, and has come closer than any other mobile phone-plus to persuading me that I might want it.
