Coming Soon: iPhone from Cingular and Apple

This things looks interesting. Can't wait to see a little more about it. Visual Voicemail? Intriguing...

nice, technology just doesn't cease to amaze me lol

If I'm not mistaken, Cisco had that name (iPhone) trakemarked back in 2000. Apple was in talks with them about using it, but they apparently just said "Screw it" and used it anyway. I believe Cisco is in the process of suing them now.

yay!

i'll be getting one when they release the second generation, but i'm definitely purchasing one.

nope...they had it back in 96, not 2000.

^^^Ah, gotcha. I had the wrong year.

i am going to wait until they have version with the 3g service. i can't believe they are releasing it without it for all the internet features it has. hopefully then they do that, flash memory will come down in price so they can offer a 16gb or 32gb version

I'll wait till they have a demo version at a Cingular store. So that I can play around with it. I like the idea of having a touchscreen since I am using a Treo 650 anyways. But no keypad makes it really hard to type/text with one or two hand. I am not use to touchscreen typing. Here is my review about it

It's a nice handset; it looks nice, and has some nice touches. I particularly liked the scrolling method, it looked very slick. The handset itself has a nice design, subtle, and somewhat understated. The features generally sound good; 4/8 Gb memory, Wi-Fi, etc.

Now for the criticism:

The camera is at a standard level (by European standards), and there is no flash. Perhaps most disappointing of all in my opinion is the lack of UMTS/HSDPA support. There is also no expandable memory, although this is partly compensated for by the large internal storage.

The main selling point for the iPhone seems to be a combination of the Apple brand and the touchscreen input. When those novelties wear off Apple still needs to be delivering the goods.

not 100% sure if this is a repost but here:

LOTS of pictures

Plus After numerous costly Apple purchases, I learned a very important lesson. You don't buy the first generation of any NEW Apple offering. If an iPhone is revealed tomorrow, by August a second revision will be out with more memory, bigger HD and longer battery life. So in general I will be waiting for the 2nd gen.

phone looks pretty decent, to bad im gettin rid of cingular...ive had them for about 5 years and thier customer service was great, but as of late, it sucks

nice, I want it too....Apple is becoming the Wal-mart of the electronic world...

I'll get this phone when it isn't 'the new shit'

lol

sorry, but Sony has that covered fairly well, with all their shoddy hardware..


PS3...what a joke.

It's pretty crippled in many respects. It doesn't include 3g because Apple wants you to buy your songs and videos through iTunes instead of using Cingular Video, a slingbox or other technologies. Also, Apple may limit the software you can put on the iPod to only stuff made by them (or bought from them). That makes the iPhone a much less desirable device IMO.
