and by the time it comes out next christmas, there will be plenty of better phoness from the established manufacturers. The specs aren't even very good

style over substance, it's as though they started designing it 4 years ago and took this long to work it out

I think its pretty good.
- Touch Screen with no need of stylus, whole screen works like click wheel on iPod
- 4/8 GB internal memory, while other PDA struggle with 64 / 128 MB
- Automatic screen changing using sensors (portrait/landscape)
- Complete iPod with now visual albums
- By far most sleek PDA with so much features.
- Compare your MP3 players with iPod for build quality, it will be that kind of difference from currently available phone

I hope it works better than its kludgy website, or is this Apple's campaign against IE?

I think $500 is a bit ambitious, and stuff crossing the Atlantic often nearly doubles in price; perhaps by the time it gets here it will be discounted into the line rental

Once it crosses the Atlantic it will be out for free on selected tariff's as well. Thats a long way to go btw....

what does it do, that phones can't do now.....

only 2 mp camera
no autofocus
no flash
no 3g
lack of keypad will make one hand use hard
no removable battery
5 hour talktime
15 hour music time
no memory card slot
no usb slot for fast transfers

It does look very impressive.

Hopefully it doesn't have the prone to scratching ipod screens.

Also any dirt/greese/sweat on your finger whilst using it might scratch/stain the great screen.

Only a 2MP camera though, the Nokia N95 will have a 5 MP camera and be out before the iPhone.

Does look tempting though.

It will be out-dated by the time it's launched here. If it was launched in the UK now, then it's not too far behind current phones, but in a years time, it'll be pants.
