| Seriously, for purposes of practicality, how bad is it? The 2M isn't the highest res. camera phone but it's still better than most. 4 - 8 GB for media files again isn't the the most but it's more than the majority of phones/pda devices out there. With ALL it's features, there isn't another device out there right now that offers SOOO much. Yeah it's behind in a couple technological advances but any other phone out there is far behind when it comes to the practicality of the iPhone.
I'm in the market for a phone right now and I can't even look at another phone w/o comparing it to Apple's iPhone. I currently have a Sony w800 which has a 2M camera and plays my MP3s up to 1GB at a time. I carry extra MemorySticks w/ me on those long trips. The browser on my w800 is crap and I use my PSP for web browsing but again the browser on the psp isn't the greatest. I'd trade in both of these devices in a heart beat once Apple comes out with a non Cingular iPhone. I'm sure come Christmas this year there will be a MacPhone exclusive for another carrier with different upgrades and a ApplePhone for another carrier w another set of upgrades. I'll give this thing time and it'll surpass the 1% market share. Eventually, I believe that Apple will grab the market share of mobile devices. The iPhone is catered for the MacGeeks out there and the average every day electronics users. People who usually don't post or read internet forums. And that's the majority of buyers out there.
The keyboard that appears when you need it is a slap in the face to any other phone manufacturer. That's something that should have come out long ago. The iPhone is at least 10 different easy to use things that should have already been made all in one and it's going to be so easy to use that yes, you might even see your grandma w/ one. |

| I agree, the phone is not perfect but it's pretty neat. Somehow, just about every poster harps on 1 or 2 missing features while glossing over everything else. Come on! I'm no Macophile, but I can appreciate how impressive the iPhone is. Now, whether the price reflects the value one will derive from the phone will be sorted out very quickly. Either the phone will sell well or it won't. Based on the reaction from the street, bets are that it will. At the end of the day, money talks... |

It did come out long ago. It was used on the Nokia 770 internet tablet in 2005. |
