Yes, I haven't bought a new phone in a while and I'll be in the market for a new IPod soon. Looks like this will cover all the bases.

The iPhone has only been rumored for 2 years! Why didn't you wait?

No no no, no more all-in-one-gadgets. What's the point of gadgets if they're not many and pretty?

I have actually waited deliberately for this, and am still on my old k700i. I am not in any way an Apple fan, but this looks neat. There are a few things that need to be in place if I'm getting it though;



No iTunes needed/An external hard drive way of transferring and navigating through music.



The option to turn off that horrible (imo) "sugar coating" the iPod does with music. Some like it, I... bl�h.



I hear it will be running OSx, not a good thing in my book, but it WILL be if anyone can program apps for it. I don't know what I want before people make it.



And if the above point is true, I hope they will make it play .flac :D



This looks very good, I just hope Apple will be kind enough to make it work also for people who are not Apple fans :)

OH MY GOSH! I know! I just bought a phone too!

OMG!! That is sooooo cool! AHHH! I want it!! :)

Man I am SO happy my contract doesn't run out until may. I almost got a new phone... I will be getting the iPhone come May! :) YAY

I know what you mean.
And I am on CIngular for another year...

So I wont be able to get that phone untill like a year from now...

OH WELLS!

I am in LOVE with the iPhone. But I'm so mad about Cingular. I have Verizon, and my plan has a little over a year left, I believe.

BUT, I am so willing to hand my phone over to my dad and be the only one in my family on Cingular. This phone is BEAUTIFUL.

iPhone, meet my pocket.

Love, Amanda

I knew he was going to announce it so last night I skipped MuggleCast to watch the keynote. This is the first time I have ever skipped a MuggleCast episode for anything other than Evanna being on PotterCast.

When I bought my iPod Mini, the new Nano came out a month later.
I just bought a mac, and then the first mac virus has been discovered.
I just bought a phone, a month later, the new iPhone comes out.

Why does this always happen?

I'm pretty annoyed because it probably won't be made available to European users for another 2 years.

That said, I do really like it. And I just got a new phone plan, so what the hey, can't switch for another 2 years anyway.

A. Take the new one back, you have a few weeks to do so...
B. iPhone doesn't come out until June, so you have some time.

$500 dollars for an apple product? no way, even though I have an ipod, its actually a good marketable product, and i have a phone, internet and a camera so why would i pay $500 dollars for something I already have, and especially for an apple product. no way!

i know!!
i just bought a new one too! then next week! bam! new phone! AND I WANT IT SOOOO BADLY!!
but im not paying 500 for it...yeah right. i'll wait till the next generation comes out, then i'll probably buy that. haha

My dad bought one too- they look so cool- I want to know the size of them though- are they like really huge r something?

Oh goodness YES. Thankfully, I can stick with my unlocked current one until, yes until the big day comes ... hope we'll all be done playing with it by 7/7/07 :)

No, look at the iPhone section of Apple's website, it shows the size of it comparted to someone's hand. It looks about the size of a 4G iPod.

Ooooooooo dear!
The iphone looks great.

P.s. Is the Steve Jobs whose posting in comments genuine?!

Tell me about it! I just got one too! Darn you Steve... Darn you...

I'm thinking of buying th iPhone, but I think I'll wait awhile until the kinks are worked out. Like for the ipod nano :) and the phones kinda too big for me, I shall also wait for it to get smaller. Give it a year or so =)

Hi!Q
Great site!

I work for AT&T, so I got a really great deal on the iPhone...I'm really looking forward to getting it in my greedy little hand and playing with it while driving, working, and all other sorts of inappropriate places! I an so addicted to the internet phone I have now. An all in one device...DANGER! DANGER! Ah well...keeps my ADD mind entertained.

I want one but I just got the Chocolate from Verizon. You are very lucky FW.

Yeah, & my phone's an itunes-phone.

I wouldn't fret if I were you, this will not be worth your money for at least 2 years when all is said and done. Right now it looks real pretty, but on the inside it is a POS, especially for the stuff I think you would be wanting it to be doing, here’s why {some cut&pastes from articles on the subject},

No Synching through Bluetooth & Wi-Fi

Slow mobile data: EDGE is 2.5G, so the top speed you can get from it is about 100Kbit/s. Also, the only Australian phone network that supports it is Telstra - everyone else will only be able to use slower-than-dialup GPRS. The iPhone would be way cooler with 1.8Mbit/s HSDPA.

Battery life sucks: Five hours of talk/browsing/email or 16 hours of audio playback? Look, we're not saying the iPhone isn't an amazing device, but you're going to want a charger on your desk at work, one in your car, one on your bedside table.

Built-in battery: It must be the only mobile phone on the market that doesn't have an easily user-replaceable battery. We know from the iPod that batteries age pretty quickly, but who wants to send their phone back to Apple for servicing when it needs a new battery? I don't want to have to go back to my dowdy old Nokia while Apple swaps the battery. That's a major flaw.

Touch screen: Have you ever stood at a touch-screen terminal in a shop punching away at the screen, trying to get it to register your touch? Despite what Apple disparagingly called "small plastic keyboards" on other mobiles, they're way more likely to work reliably than a touch-screen. No doubt Jobs has licensed the world's best touch-screen technology, but it's still likely to be the weakest point of the phone.

Heavy data usage: There's a reason why networks love ‘push email' phones like the Blackberry: it's because a tremendous amount of compression and optimization can be done at the carrier-side before the data is sent over the air. An ultra-heavy user of a Blackberry might only use 20MB in a month - regular users will use just a few Megs. On the other hand, the iPhone uses old-world ‘polling' email methods - POP3 or IMAP, where the phone will check every X minutes for new email and download full emails. The phone might have enough CPU power to rescale that 7MB JPEG, but it still has to download a 7MB JPEG. Either the service fees that go with the phone are going to be huge, or carriers are going to take a bath on data pricing and risk network congestion

Only a two mega pixel camera: OK, camera phones are never going to beat a digital SLR, but Sony Ericsson has had a 3.2 Mega pixel camera phone out for months now. Unless S-E tied up exclusive supply on that part, it's tough to see why Apple wouldn't have gone for it.

Proprietary tie-ins: Look, I'm not saying that the rest of the mobile industry isn't rife with proprietary tie-ins. every carrier installs their crap onto mobiles; they disable useful manufacturer features so that you're forced to use their less-useful and more expensive services. But shouldn't we hold Apple to a higher standard? The iPhone can do push email according to Jobs, but only for people who have a Yahoo web mail account. Bad luck if you prefer Gmail or some other mail provider.

No video iChat: Er, hello? Apple has an incredible base of customers out there with integrated web cams - doubtlessly more than any other PC or software maker - so what a missed opportunity!

Apple chooses your mobile network: Apple has announced that its exclusive sales partner in the US will be the mobile network Cingular. Presumably, that's because even though iPhone is going to be an obvious hit, there are many political battles Apple faces in breaking into the Telco world: powerful alliances and rebate schemes between handset makers and networks, the networks' fears that Apple might at some point introduce iTunes purchasing over-the-air, stealing away one of their valuable revenue streams and more. The end result? In each country, the phone will probably be locked to one carrier. (Interestingly, though, in Australia, carriers are legally obliged to unlock phones free of charge at the customer's request - though that doesn't cancel other contractual obligations such as ongoing plan fees.)

Only 8GB storage: Ok, ok, sure, it's the biggest storage capacity of any phone on the market, probably, but 8GB is still pretty limited. Considering how good the video playback capabilities of the iPhone are, it's unfortunate that you won't actually be able to fit that much video on the device

So my advice to you is to enjoy your new phone and have a good laugh to yourself as you see these people who forked over 5 to 600 bucks for a shiny gadget with a name one it. In about 2 years I phone V2.0 will come out and it will have most, if not all of that fixed and will be worth your money. In the mean time your current cell phone+Ipod+PDA='s less brain damage and probably money than one IPhone.
