Apple Delivers iPhone
This phone has a long way to go
I love Macs and Ipods and in my opinion apple is one of the most amazing companies in the world. that being said this phone is an overpriced shadow of what the iphone should have been.
this phone will run on cingulars sub par data service and does not allow you to download from i tunes directly to the phone, at lease if i read the information at apple correctly. even if you could however because of cingulars data service it would take several hours and waste a battery that you cant even replace yourself. uber inteligent.
now lets take a look at the UI on the phone. innovative and amazing yes? yes. if it works. im reminded of a simpsons episode (were sorry the fingers you have used to dial are too fat to obtain a special dialing wand pl...

well, to address a couple of your points..
1. this is rev1 device..the sync with itunes is merely a software update away - syncing via wifi would be fine - ala itv .. also its an ipod - you can plug it in like any normal ipod..and you can see how having to plug it in really killed ipod sales
and when they do release a UMTS version HSPDA will be widespread and of course faster than VZW's network..
2. 8gb flash on a phone is fantastic- where are all the 60gb flash drives? ooh thats right.. nowhere in any consumer device.. Why would you put a 60gb HDD in a phone if your trying to maximize battery life? oh thats right.. you obviously wouldn't..
If I wanted to or needed to carry around 100Gb of video I would have my laptop with me.....

I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of Apple and their products. I'm a die hard Apple computer owner but I'm not above using Windows or Linux if that's what I need to get the job done.
That being said, "I'm very excited about this device." Not because I think it's perfect in every way. It's not. It does have a long way to go but for all the users out with the complaints:
On CDMA v. GSM: I think one user said it best when they stated that both standards have distinct advantages and disadvantages. For Apple GSM happens to be the best choice for entering a global market. This is extremely important in Europe. I do however sympathize with people who have had rotten customer support experience with Cingular or can't reception in their area...

ya i have to agree i wouldnt be surprised if once they figure the syncing technology out (if it doesnt already come out with this model) would be an over-the-air update and make this possible, and will include it in the itunes as well
