Does it? And what's this iPhone thing then?
The iPhone has quite simply priced itself out of the market. A £35 a month contract I can understand, but to tack on another £269 in handset costs is crazy when the Nokia N95 (a compariable or superior handset) can be got on a similar contract for next to nothing.
Awesome!
/me goes to buy Kaiser.
want !!! and i got my £270 cash waiting !
I'd echo most of the above too, it looks really cool and I know I'd have fun playing with the interface but it's just not accessible to me. Firstly, I'm on Orange. I've been with them for a while and I could upgrade to the HTC TYTN II for next to nothing. There's just about no chance I'd switch to O2 and pay out that kinda money for an iPhone.
Tip to tech companies - Don't launch your new product in the UK in November. It's bound to rain and make everything look a bit dull. :)
People will buy it because its an Apple product. /end
it doesnt matter that its got half of the features that it should have to be technically competetive and that there are better phones out there.
And if the old T-Mobile network... 12:59? :PQuote:

Anyway rant over if you buy one hope you enjoy it. I must admit I've used the internet on a iphone and it wasn't too bad - but no so great that I'd buy one.
*yawns*....
yup, its another rather meh phone like the other billions out there....
does it even have a CF or SD card slot?
Yes it's quite a sexy device, but I can't stand the way apple allow only one provider and prohibit third party software.
The company does make some stunning stuff, and I like how it usually just works. But they now have this strange status because of the iPod and some white coloured computers... They are not good at allowing customers choice (e.g. iTunes DRM, iTunes itself, third party software, phone provider etc).
Plus they make some incredible margins on pretty looking products that are technically average.
I am considering the Nokia N95 8GB model, which is said to have ironed out some of the first generation version's bugs and issues.
Ugh no thanks, overpriced shiney apple tat. Gimme an N95 or latest Sony Ericsson. Which with most contracts you can get free.
Also I text without looking at the phone usually, impossible with a touchscreen.
Wonder how the screen will bare up to scratches over a few months...
