I really want it! But, I bet the battery life on it is horrible and I am sure that there will be more than a few kinks. It looks too good to be true. I can't wait to read some reviews on it, after people have been using it.

And, since it is pairing with Cingular, does that mean if you have any other provider you are **** out of luck?

no, PC or Mac
I really want it! But, I bet the battery life on it is horrible and I am sure that there will be more than a few kinks. It looks too good to be true. I can't wait to read some reviews on it, after people have been using it.

And, since it is pairing with Cingular, does that mean if you have any other provider you are **** out of luck?
Up to 5 hours Talk / Video / Browsing
Up to 16 hours Audio playback
And yes, Cingular has an exclusive contract for 2 years. some people were suggesting getting one and unlocking it to use with other providers, but I don't think that'll work.
It's a bit, um, big, isn't it? :shrug: I don't think I could wear my skinny jeans with that thing in the pocket.
Dimensions 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.46 inches / 115 x 61 x 11.6mm

I think this is very cool. Also, the 8 gig will soon be 20 and then higher as my friends in the business tell me the jumps will be that high soon. I will get one when it is 30 gigs or higher.

What I want to know is why the hell can't the other companies provide the access to the web that shows the web pages like you see on your desktop. If Apple can do it, why can't they?

JazmenFlowers

not that anyone cares, but this comes out tomorrow and I'm so excited. I plan to play with it all day Saturday.

the plans were released earlier this week and they aren't but like $20 more than my current plan for unlimited internet access.

so far, the reviews have been good. it seems to be living up to it's hype. there are a few things that they're saying could have made it better, but that's true with any phone. alas, I don't really have the money to get one just yet, but I'm hoping before long I will.

inside scoop is saying that the price won't come down for at least 2 years. :(

btw, you should go to www.apple.com/iphone and watch the 20 minute demo. it shows the ins and outs of the phone. it's so cool.

I have my ways of getting my hands on things on Saturdays that I shouldn't. :laugh:

just kidding. the AT&T (Cingular) stores here let you handle the phones and check them out for as long as you want (a demo version of course).

I'm not really interested in buying it (and it is way overpriced anyway). I like my iPod & I like my cell phone, so I don't have a need for it. Plus I'd have to change my carrier from Verizon to AT & T & I'm happy with Verizon. :nod: I can't imagine camping out a week to stand in line to get one either. :shrug:

it's not so much about the iPod or cellphone parts of it. it's more about the fact that it's the first "PDA" to run OSX software. all of us Mac users who have iCal, Safari and Address Book can now sync our stuff with a phone running the same OS. the photo album part is cool too. you can watch your videos. the touchscreen keypad is awesome. the internet capabilities of this phone are incredible too. watch the guided tour. you'll see.

btw, it is also for PC users. I know Amber had asked that before.

From what I read, the complaints are mostly about how bad ATT's Edge internet access is. But, if there is an open wifi near enough, it will switch to that. The only complaints about the product itself are:

1. The internal battery will need replacing in 2-3 years and it has to be sent to Apple for that.

2. The device cannot play flash items -- but it will play youtube stuff.

All in all, I will wait a year or more before getting one so the kinks can be worked out. But, I will have one one day.

The iPhone will be my Christmas present from my mom :nod:
I want the 8 gig, and its only another 100 bucks. it is relaviely reasonable for all you get out of it. I use a tracphone plan now :rolleyes: so it wont cost me anything to kill my old plan, and by the time I get it, I'll have a job, so I will be able to aford the 60 dollar plan [I dont talk on the phone that much, Im probably one of the only teenage girls who can say that :lol: ] I only want it for its internet acess, and ipod and ill probably be using my phone more withen the next few years. [between friends, work, and when my mom works a full time job]. I think the 200 txt msg thing is reasonable too. people who txt more than that have issues imo o.O

Apple giving free iPhones to employees
If every full-time employee receives the device at the end of July, the total cost to the company would be $10.8M.
June 29 2007: 2:53 PM EDT

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- Good news and bad news for Apple's 18,000 employees: they are all getting free iPhones but they will have to wait a month to get them.

"We're giving phones to employees at the end of July," an Apple spokesman said Friday ahead of the launch of the device, which combines a cell phone, a Web browser and a music and video player.

Chief Executive Steve Jobs announced the gift in a meeting with employees Thursday. Employees will get the high-end model with 8 gigabytes of storage, worth $600.

iPhone mania hits flagship stores
"That's the good news. The bad news is that he wants the first wave to go to customers. Employees will probably get their phones at the end of July," said one Apple staffer who declined to be identified.

The total cost would be more than $10.8 million if every full-time employee receives one.

Apple (up $2.30 to $122.86, Charts, Fortune 500) did not say if its 2,400 part-time and contract employees would also receive the phones, or if the company would pay the service costs, which range from $60 to $100 a month from exclusive provider AT&T (down $0.06 to $24.60, Charts).

Lucky bastards! Apple must be pretty confident if they're taking an 11 million dollar bite like this.

I just got back from the AT&T store. I've been playing with the iPhone and it is splendid. I don't even know how to describe how fabulous it is. the clarity of the colors on the screen, the weight of it is just perfect, the touchscreen was awesome. they actually let me make a call to test the range and how it sounds and it sounds good. the volume of the earpiece is nice. there IS a vibrate/silent button. I know a lot of people were wondering about that. the homescreen menu is nice. the home button is awesome to have. the menus are a little confusing at first, but I think watching the demo a couple of times with the phone in front of you would solve that. the only thing that I would really have a hard time with at first is the QWERTY keyboard on the touchscreen. it's just weird getting used to it and learning how to hold the phone while typing. it was so hard to walk out empty-handed.

no ****.

if you're not interested and don't want to pay that much money for it why are you asking if someone bought it? generally, if you're not interested in something, you just stay out of the thread and don't comment. at least that's how it works here...I don't know how it was on 7W.
