Very good specs,

2009 so the N97 or N98 could possibley have a touchscreen then?
woah that would be brilliant im not planning on getting rid of my N95-2 for atleast 2 years anyway so atleast the market will have some good devices arounf then

It will be interesting to see what processor it uses. Nomadik or OMAP 3rd ge? Probably ST but lets wait and see.

@bavlandon:
Apple have acheived what Nokia/SE have not been able to so far. Create a stable well built phone with perfect interface and literally no bugs.
That's because the Iphone is so BARE of functions that there is much less possibility of things going wrong.
Let's wait (maybe for years
) for Apple to put in all the basic stuff (that every phone has) which Apple left out from the Iphone. Then you come back and talk.

True they are lacking in some basic features (trust me no one has kicked up more of a fuss about the lack of video capture than me) but at the same time they have produced a hadnset with an interface that no one else has been able to match. We can only assume that future iterations of iphone will house more features but the question is can Nokia match iphone for what it does?

I'm sure apple has received a lot of feedback (both positive and negative) and are also looking at new developments in the cellphone market. The point here is the iphone, for a first attempt, has given us a greater insight into what the next iteration is likely to have. I'd be concerned if I were the major manufacturers.

correction...they have produced a UI with the best eye candy. In terms of usability it is downright pathetic - no contact search, no copy-paste, no file system, no T9 virtual keypad, no task manager, no sms forward...and the list goes on and on..
What the heck is Apple thinking...

Contact search is coming in v2.0. And ok no SMS forwarding is a pain but I can honestly say I have never used that feature in any phone I have had. I think your clutching on straws on that one.

iPhone may fall short in a few places but, it's a must have phone and people are willing to pay that much for it. For Apple's first phone, they must be over the moon and now with the price cut, more people will go for it. They must be doing something right if they can get away with selling a "crap"phone.

The price cut was always going to happen. I just hope whatevers coming in June will be worth it.

Hi all
Well many of the so called missing features are really only important if you use them in which case it's simple don't get a iPhone.
But i really don't see the iPhone as a business smart phone but as s Multimedia smart phone but that doesn't mean it can't perform any Business type applications just that is not it's main purpose.
For me the restricting factors are the lack of 3G/HSDPA which is only a matter of time before it is added to the next gen, but the real killer is a fixed battery and not for not being able to change it when it goes flat but what happens when it goes dead. That to me is a major drawback especially if it is your only phone.
