I really want one but I'll wait and see what the reviews say.

Fun to be smacked around once in awhile, but it doesn't change the fact iPhone is just being hyped too much. Apple is good at enticing consumers with nicer looking UI while decent alternatives have been around for a long time. But I'm a techie with a build-in bias against closed systems so what do I know?Esco! said:Right next to the STFU emoticon
I actually have great respect for Jobs as a marketing genius... It's market economy so we are free to like whatever we like and Jobs understands this well.

Like I said a few months ago, this will be a great, personal show off phone, but for business use? No way.drrogers said:For now - no iPhone in Canada - and from what I have heard and seen there is no rush to get one. All of the apps are such power hogs that the phone function will not be there when you need it and don't be misled by the ads, they have sped everything up and animated so that it looks great but you will be spending a lot of time waiting, especially on the Rogers network. There are a number of alternatives as has already been posted - look at those first, they are readily available, won't be as costly and will do much the same thing

Apple says one battery charge is enough for 8 hours of calls, 7 hours of video or 24 hours of audio. My results weren’t quite as impressive: I got 5 hours of video and 23 hours of audio, probably because I didn’t turn off the phone, Wi-Fi and other features, as Apple did in its tests. In practice, you’ll probably wind up recharging about every other day
