C'Mon guys - there is not a lot to get excited about. Yes it's Apple's first foray into the mobile phone market but the price, coupled with the size of the device - will you really want to use this to replace your iPod and mobile phone? I think not! Take samsung's i300/i310. 3 - 4GB internal space. Smart features, great size. C'mon apple, you can do better than this!

look man its a good design and let them have there time in the light this is the very first time this has been done and all you critics out there are getting ridicolous because no phone is going to be perfect just because you had a issue with the phone doesnt mean everyone will and vica verse so let it go

Truly amazing piece of hardware! and the OS is a brilliant combination of eye-candy & ease of use(see the demo on apple.com). But no 3G, thats disheartening!

I think that the idea of this phone is more for storing music and DVD's rather than taking pictures and besides a 2 mp camera will still take a good quality picture.
As for how to drive and text I think you need to concider if you should be using your phone while your diriving as its not the best idea!

I suggest you see the presentation of this phone on apple.com to see what it is capable of doing, and you will see that this is the greatest mobile phone yet! NO applications for this ?? it has MAC OSX with COCOA support, that means that nothing is impossible to develop for this phone. it will be just like developing for mac....

Brilliant piece of art, but im curious how will this phone be operated using one hand, and the "smart" qwerty keyboard.

looks like a good handset that will no doubt shift quite a lot of units, im personally not a fan of the ipod so thankfully the design is nothing like it but fresh, and apple are known to have excellent software on the pcs not so on the ipod. The main fault i see is the battery with such a function heavy phone the battery should at least be removable so you can have two batteries, and as many people have said 3g isnt an important thing on launch as the US market doesnt support it by and large

I think it is a great phone and will have a great impact on the market. I would definitely buy one if it had a better camera (2MP is somewhat... bad, 3.2 would have been much better).
Anyway...way is everyone complaining about the space? I think I have less the 3 GB of music that I regularly listen to (although on my PC I have much more). Even 4 GB is enough, unless you intend to store DVDs on your Iphone.

Ok, design-wise this iPhone is very cool - that touch screen is way cool. However, I don't like being limited to a set amount of storage and having to play the file shuffle game - even if it is a very generous 8GB - so I would have preferred it have a card slot. The battery life is not bad, but nothing to write home about. A 2MP camera is fine on a phone, but a flash and auto-focus are must-haves these days.
In terms of the iTunes music player, there's some nice eye candy there - I dig that scrolling CD art thing. But, really, at the end of the day I want to play my music not spend time gazing at CD art. And, SE Walkman 2.0 player is just as functional really - even Walkman 1.0 is fine for me. Also, I saw no mention of an FM radio, voice memo, games, pdf readers, etc. - I guess they'll handle some of that stuff through Widgets though.
In terms of it running OSX - which is a Unix variant - that's not as big of a deal is it sounds. There are already Linux based - another Unix variant - smart phones on the market, and I don't really give a sh*t about the phone OS as long as it works and well. (Former computer programmer here, and a very jaded one at that.)
In terms of Apple going on about their marvelous new sync capabilities - uhuh, yeah, that's nice. Again, I'm sure it's not as revolutionary is it sounds - we'll see.
Apple's marketing department is very good at hyperbole and just loves to whip people into a frenzy over their new products. Hell, it even made the nightly news here in New Zealand - I was like "WTF!?!?".
