That's hott! Man why is this happening to me?! I just bought the brand new Blackberry Pearl from Cingular but now I already want that phone!

[Rey Rey 650]

I heard there was a huge ass line in San Francisco where they were going to preview that..... So its an I phone huh? Cool WHen will it be available to be purchased?

[CIWS]

DAMN look how big that thing is !! I know it wouldn't fit in my pocket. But then Steve Jobs has bigger pockets then I do


Edit -"Cinglar only." I assume this is a typo for Cingular ?

$499 is a little steep for me.

Maybe after it's been on the market a while and we know about its reliability. I'm still considering buying something like that, but turning loose of all that green is freaking me out right now.

This thing kicks ass!

Phone = $200 (varies greatly, so we'll just use that)
iPod = $250
PDA = $400-500 (for a decent one)


The iPhone's price seems to be rather good.





Apple has an agreement with Cingular (like most phones when they first come out), but you can always buy unlocked versions for a bit more.

Yeah but being GSM / EDGE means the only other provider it could work with would be Tmobile, but still EDGE would be useless. Verizon and Sprint are still CDMA.

The price isn't bad for a single device and it should integrate into the 08 CTS

[Lord Cadillac]

If this comes to Sprint or Verizon, I will have it ASAP.

I'm happy with my phone and ipod as of now, I don't really have a need for this.

Though when the new ipod comes out I'll be all over that.

there is also a gallery for it.....I think I might save some of my winnings from the OSU fiasco and but that on launch. Its got to be the sweetest looking phone i ever seen!
It is going to be GSM so sorry sprint and Verizon users!
Cingular exclusive at launch supposedly....I can not wait!
Hope its not pushed back and is really coming out in june.....

Is it june yet?!

How bout now?

Now?!
I hope its under a grand without contract for the 8gig or else I'll be waiting...or just signing up my wife on cingular!

it will work on cingular orange rogers and t-mobile being GSM
Sprint and Verizon are the only ones it wont work on.....

What kind of battery life is it going to have? That would be my only concern especially if my primary use for it was going to be as a phone.
