Wonderful... Now instead of Riding Dirty, I'm listening to Raffi. Thanks Mr. Dallas.
I was VERY anti-Apple until now.
I want one.
RIMM is down big time today.
wooowww man that thing is beautiful!
I have always been a MAC fan, and I just found my new phone/ipod....cingular service looks to be the way to go!

that thing looks amazing!
You already laugh at me all the time, so what's a little more.
People were paying $600 for Razrs when they came out. And those are just phones. Have you seen what this thing can do? Take a Treo, a Blackberry, an iPod, a GPS, and a computer...mix them all together...add even more stuff...make it all work seamlessly together...and this is what you get. All in the palm of your hand. And with an interface that blows everything else out of the water.

One of the best examples they gave for this thing was using google maps. Type "San Francisco Starbucks" into GoogleMaps. It'll find the nearest one, display a pop up over it, and then you tap on the pop up to call that location.
This thing is friggen insane.
I can only think of one thing it doesn't do...avalanche beacon.
"an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers"
WTF :FIREdevil
I kind of liked having to use my dick to work all the other cell phones I've ever owned.
I've watched every macworld and wwdc keynote for 9 years and this was by far the most jaw dropping product announcement i've seen. Unfortunately cingular doesn't work well at the house so until they improve the network or make it available on verizon i won't be getting one.
Calling to try and order one right now ......................... next call my stock broker
Too me this is the best thing they could have done...
"iPhone is a quad-band GSM + EDGE phone." No 3G! "We have WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0"
For some reason I hate Apple...don't know why. I should be a fanboy growing up in Silicon Valley and all. The truth is...if this thing was branded Samsung, I'd probably get this thing. I wonder how much Cingular paid to get the exclusivity...its got to be a mind-numbing figure.
Like Arty said about the google thing...that's pretty killer for a gadget whore like myself. The only problem I see with it is the durability. Its thin, and has a massive screen. You sit on it wrong, its toast. You take a fall skiing its toast. But then again, I could use a different phone for riding. Battery life is probably pretty grim as well.
If they can make the internet work like that video it would be worth every penny. The net on my Razr is worse than worthless.
Stock is already at 92.05.
does anyone know when cingular's exclusive expires?
I was under the impression that a law was recently enacted by the US copyright folks that allows users to "unlock" any phone, therefor using it on any network. In fact, I know this to be true as my fiance had a SPRINT only phone, and now uses the same phone on her Verizon network.

As far as this is concerned, maybe they are getting around that new law by promoting this as a VOIP product, or more or less an internet device that just happens to be a phone as well...or perhaps they are going to be selling it, but you can then bring the iPhone to another provider...
we shall see.... :eek:
Question is, how long will that screen last? Ipods are notorious for getting scratched to shit if you breath on it incorrectly.
I am just not cool enough for apple products. My reflection would make this instantly explode.
this is just part of the sales model..
iPods make all the iPod accessory makers a shit ton of money. just more of the same with the iPhone. i expect cases, lanyards, pogs, gold braclets, strapons... you name it they will make it for the iPhone.
as for the cingular only and un-locking... in the keynote there was mention of how intigrated the network needs to be with the phone to make all this happen. not sure if un-locking would get the job done. we'll have to wait and see.
it is a very exciting product tho. i won't be an early adoptor with this one tho. gonna see how she does before dropping $500. can't wait!
holy shit. Come to daddy.
That shit he announced is TIGHT.
If the Apple TV included storage expansion, DVR capability and HD inputs, I'd be all over it.
