  • Compie,

    and the price for version 2 will be a lot easier on the wallet.

    plus they'll have full 3G implementation by then.

    very cool though, and I was a skeptic!

  • Simon Grigg,

    In the meantime, I can stick with my new (next week) W950I which does most of what this does right now but doesn't look quite as pretty.

  • Gary Hutchings,

    Now we have to wait til 2008 to get one in NZ.
    Mind you they'll have most of the bugs out by then.... :/

    Although currently iPhone is only to be available as a locked handset on the cingular network in the US, until Apple start selling them unlocked a number of people will contiue to be annoyed, this will also restrict any grey-market importation..

    Being GSM it will have to be a Vodafone release, and don't Vodafone have somesort of music store they are trying to nurture against competition from iTunes? ....

    Although given they are not due for public release in the States till June, I think most stuff about them is probably worth classifying as "work in progress"

  • Tomorrowpeople,

    Both Vodafone and Telecom have music stores.

    So, one of them will have to pick it up regardless.
    Imagine the amount of people who will want one.

  • Simon Grigg,

    I liked this CNET post

    There's a Mac subculture akin to Star Trek aficionados or Burning Man attendees. Its devotees can be testy, defensive and intensely devoted to their Apple products. And Jobs, they say, is their hero, despite a reputation for ruling his company with an iron fist and operating a very profitable business that, just like any other corporation, is mainly concerned with finding ways to extract more money from its customers.

    which is exactly why they will sell so many phones straight off....

    Cueing for Jobs and The iPhone

    I made the mistake once, tongue planted firmly in cheek, of calling Jonathan Ives "twee" in a forum....all hell broke loose. I was cornered at parties months later.....

  • Adrian Wills,

    I think one of the first independent, hands on reviews I've read. Rather good.

  • merc,

    Mac fan boys (I've had one since '90 but it is a troubled relationship) always remind me of Comic Store Guy in The Simpsons.
    Really defensive geeks are the lonely lovers of The Penguin...
