Can someone take a bite out of Apple please, I'm fed up of these trashy products being released that gets ultimate praise for no aparent reason. Remember the PDA phone market? The thing thats been huge and growing for many years...well now Apples joined it with a phone/ipod/touchscreen device that markets itself as the mobile phone revolution...hello what about the many good PDA's that have been out for years? Nevermind that, Apple has caused enough buzz and hype for everyone to suddenly forget.

View its website and read the hype...

The iPhone is a name that sucks. Apple should just name all of their products "iShit" and save the hassle of coming up with TOTALLY NEW AND INNOVATIVE NAMES!

Well, let's not forget that putting an "i" before a common noun is Apple's way of naming a product.

All phones are ridiculously expensive, it's the cell company's way of locking you into a two year contract.  Once it comes to Verizon, i may get it, but Cingular is shitriffic, and that is a fact.

Fewest dropped calls my ass, its hard to drop a call when it never fucking connects in the first place.

Oh, and they charge you by the kilobyte to download ringtones and shit, plus the 2 dollar price of the ring tone.  I hated them so much, I paid $175 just to switch.
I've got a ton of money!

its "Vodafone" btw. Also not to forget T-Mobile

Im actaully shocked how expensive phones are in the USA. I mean 2 year contracts, WTF?!

example, just looked on the Cingular website

For a shitty Motorola L6.

5mb memory, VGA camera with video, thats it, price

Price   $274.99
2-yr Contract Price $149.99
Online Discount - $99.99
Mail-in Rebate - $50.00

then you need to build a price plan, very weired and complex.

Basically you can buy that phone here in the UK for about £30 ($50) and just pay for the calls you make (pay as you go if you have that in the US)

Oh yeah, we've ALREADY got people asking to see if "you've got that iPhone in stock"

WTF, honest to go i hate the public, it shows how much of a hold apple have over the moronic minds of the public.

1stly it wont be out for ages, 2nd why do you want one, its a PDA ffs and the only reason you want one is cause its got "i" at the beginning.

"But its an iPod.....and a phone.....IN ONE!"

".....but nearly every phone has an mp3 player on it, what do you think an ipod is?"

"......oh"

idiots

Note the word "easier." This implies that you pronouncing American cellular companies for you is difficult.

Looks smaller than expected, also very expensive

The Apple iPhone is going to dent your bank account a bit more than expected. The 4GB model will come in at a shade under £600 while the 8GB could be as much as £660 according to some early, pre-order prices on Amazon Germany [thanks Jan]. This compares to approximately £255 and £306 in the US.

When you’re finished choking you might also want to consider some of the other things that are taking the shine of the latest ‘hot’ mobile phone. Most of these are confirmed, while others fall into the ‘maybe’ category.

- The iPhone will be 3G when it arrives in Europe but it will not arrive for a year – not the end of 2007 as expected.

- It will be a closed device and will only run software released by Apple.

- It will use Apple’s DRM software FairPlay which, ironically, no one thinks is fair, at all. This will stop users from playing anything other than music bought via iTunes.

- Apple could win the right to use the iPhone name in Europe, thanks to a loophole says Outlaw.com.

“Trade mark specialist Lee Curtis of Pinsent Masons, the law firm behind OUT-LAW.COM, has found a legal loophole, though, which could strip Cisco of its European rights. He told technology law podcast OUT-LAW Radio that in Europe a person can lodge a revocation application against a trade mark registration if the trade mark has not been used for the past five years.” Read more about that here.

It seems that even after its arrival, the coverage of everything iPhone will be intense - I’ll keep you updated on the main stuff.

That said, less than a week on from its big launch, is the iPhone losing some of its appeal?-Martin Lynch

The fact that you cant install 3rd party apps, and the fact that it's fucking 600 dollars are what's going to kill it.

You can get most of the features in a phone for a third of the price.

PS3 anyone?  It's all hype, no product.  Not to mention, they are releasing it exclusively on the shittest phone network in the United States, Cingular.
