Some of the statements made against the i-phone seem so silly. I mean how do we know the i-phones 2mp camera isn't going to be better than the k750i/w800i etc. I know the k800i's camera isn't very impressive but when people discover the camera is a 3.2mp they look at it in such delight.
The phones interface looks great, but i guess thats all we can justify our opinions on at the minute. We cant complain about battery issues, camera quality, build quality (screen not lasting), as there's no evidence for this.

I think people need to realise sonyericssons main competetor is the w950. I like the fact this has a camera (whether its a good one or not it is something). It's available in 8gb aswell as a 4gb sounds promising, though i would really have enjoyed a memory card too.

It's a long 6+ months away and hopefully we'll have a new range of promising phones from all manufactors, so i wouldn't conclude my thoughts on this just yet.

As much as the iphone appeals to me i believe the greatest outcome of this is it may have raised the bar in technology.

That’s exactly it - even if the specs of the iPhone aren’t amazing it will move mobile technology on sooooo much (think about the innovative things not its camera ) and were the ones benefiting from it so we all owe a little something to apple for pushing things forward and since this is just apples first try at a phone then I think we have some interesting times upon us

The iPhone isn't really that great apart from the screen and flashy UI.

As a phone make the most practical solutions. I can't imaging texting on the iPhone, or even punching in a few numbers quickly. Battery life would be a constant worry, not to mention the sealed battery, the size is not very practical (thin, but wide and tall), and the glossy finish is also impractical (think the black iPod ). One handed operation looks clunky as well.

Then there's the less than spectacular camera. 2MP and no flash is honestly crap for an $800 phone that I can only get in 2008. 2G is going to be outdated soon enough and I don't see much else to like.

With the current specs of the iPhone, I'd stick it out with my K800i.

Honestly, the only reason I can think of buying the iPhone _now_ is because of the user interface.

Maybe a next-gen iPhone would be a whole lot "smarter".

I'm a Mac guy. Got a bunch of 'em all around the house, some old, some newer. Usually, when Apple makes it, I buy it. Typically I'm an early adopter, with the scars from all the pain rev.A models have brought over the years. This time, however, I have an excuse to be smart and procrastinate. I'm on T-Mobile and love it. I need to wait and see if things like Visual Voicemail only works with Cingular (joint technology implementation) or if it will indeed function the same way with my beloved T-Mobile. I'm only paying $5 per month for data with tzones and I really don't want to give that up. So before I jump ship to get the newest hotness in my sweaty mitts I want to know that it will do every single thing promised. If all the reviews are stellar, no major bugs or glitches, then I may indeed ditch both SE and TMo for the iPhone/Cingular. I just have to be sure first.

like when are we getting it??? 2008......

Hopefully by then.. we'll get an updated version... coz in the U.S 3G hasnt kicked in yet... hopefully it will get 3G and some video call action..




off topic, but i just thought i would share... Cingular has the 3G option now... but it is alot different than 3G in the UK becuase not many people use the full features... and i think maybe verizon has it... idk about verizon though.
