Whatever wikapedia says one of the cornerstones of a smartphone is the ability to customise its functionality with 3rd party apps. This will work fine with Itunes etc. (for those that actually buy their mp3s) it looks good (before you start covering the screen with your oily fingers) but it does nothing that my S60 doesn't and its missing a whole battery of the funtions that I have just now. To say its 5 years ahead is not even laughable its just stupid.

I would never call the iphone a smart phone. . . A true smart phone would be any of the nokia s60 phones or any of the SE's P & M series which allows the user to install 3rd party apps which inturn increases the productivity of the phone in terms of functionality. . Always remember the possibilities are more on such phones . . . Tell me one thing that these cannot do when compared to the iphone. . . . All the hype behind this thing is coz of its label "APPLE" nothing else. . . . As i said previously only the user interface can be called something innovative (a thing to learn for other manufacturersfor) as for the rest of its features we have seen more than that. . . .

Firewire is dead, even Apple stopped using it - can't be found in new Apple computers.
You really are showing your ignorance here, or maybe you are blind? You should try reading the specs on Apple's site. EVERY Mac has either Firewire 400 or Firewire 800, from the Mac mini, through the MacBooks and iMacs up to the Mac Pros. 95% of digital video cameras also have Firewire, from consumer level to pro level. It is a long way from dead.

Also the iPhone's OS X is compiled from the same source as MAC OS X, if you knew even a little about Linux then you would know that you have a kernel blah...blah
If you knew even a little about Mac OS X you would know it is UNIX-based - not Linux. Please check your facts before posting such rubbish.

OS X is a linux version that has been crippled to not be able to run non Apple certified apps. What does this mean? You can't recompile your own apps and install them.
OSX is still not Linux...

blah...blah... as I said in theory all linux apps can be recompiled for other kernels.
Still not Linux...

What I want from a Smartphone (I don't care about definitions):
- 3G (can never go back to 2.5G for web browsing)
- Integrated GPS, this will be common in most phones by Dec '07
- PIM & Office apps
- Video capture
- Open system, don't want to be locked-into iTunes

About the FireWire, you only get one FireWire 800 port.
If that is not called soon to be dead then lets call it a compromise Apple/Intel.
About the Unix part, what applies to unix applies to linux, what is your point calling me ignorant? You are the one that ignore all the facts and dismiss everything.
Would you feel better if I changed
linux to
*nix and
kernel to
kernel and userland in my other post or would that justconfuse you?
You want to get personal on this one?
What I understand from your posts, You are one of those persons that worships something no matter what and can't participate in a discussion without getting personal. You praise all aspects of this product like it was Godsent and as it will cure cancer and aids. You are a retard my friend. You can't see tha pros and cons of this product and you can't see beyond your nose when you read. BuHu...
I'm stupid for even replying to you, but I missed your first post in this thread. Had I seen that post I would've never replied to you.
You can't take it that it's hardware isn't 5 years ahead of anything atm and therefore you get personal. You can't even take it that I point out some stuff about OSX being proprietary and closed to 3rd party programs. Get a life dude.
I won't reply further on this since I don't like fanatics. You can say wtf you want from this point on.

It seems to me that the iPhone is more hype than revolutionary. GUI-wise, the phone is top-notch, but that certainly does not make it 5 years ahead. There are many features lacking on the iPhone that many year-old phones have. And by the time the iPhone is out, its feature-set is likely to be outdated.
It looks like a great product, but again we have to wait and see how well the implementation works.
I certainly am not considering getting one. It does not fit my niche. Looking forward instead to the Nokia E90 communicator.

Looks interesting to me, i like some of there new ideas (scrolling, slider to unlock etc) it seems to have most of the features i would want in a phone too but im still 8 months from the end of my contract so i will see how the market is before i decide on what phone i will be getting next.
It does look like a must have for the iPod generation though and remember that most of us over analyze the specs of phones and jo-average will just see the iPhone posters and think “I must have” without even taking most of its features in to consideration – also a lot of people are saying there entering the phone market to late to make any impact but I think there wrong, people said the same when the first iPod was unveiled and that Sony owned too much of the market to be effected by it….. who leads the market now because I’m willing to bet it’s the iPod,
Anyway I’m neither an apple/SE/nokia fanboy so I will let you guys battle it out about the tech side of things
