For those that are planning on getting a new phone may I suggest you wait for the new Iphone.

Looks sweet....but which service provider will carry this phone?.....cause I would definately get one of those

 

I wonder what the pricing is on this phone.

 

I would give up my blackberry in a moment for it...I wish it was an EVDO phone though.

 

Heard its gonna be 499 for the 4gb and 599 for the 8gb seems a bit high for just a phone. I'll pass

 

Does it matter just go to pacific mall to get it unlock.

 

Rogers only as it's GSM. It's more than a phone - I don't know of too many phones that need 4gb/8gb of storage.

The pricing is as stated above, which is right along the lines of where it should be.

My concerns are:

- in a corporate world, the blackberry will still be king - having the ability to remotely wipe/lock a BB is a big security bonus;
- the lack of keys will be weird, IMO. I have a starcom uts6700 pda phone and one of the things I hate the most is dialing by softkey (touch screen) as there is no tactile feedback;
- who is making the radio in the iPhone - what type of quality will it have;
- will it have a user replaceable battery;

Kudos to Apple for venturing forth as I'm sure this is a terrific 1st attempt, it appears.

 

I was planning on getting the N73, but i think i'm gonna wait till this phone comes out..i'll be one of the first to get my hands on it

 

very true...pacific mall can unlock anything

 

fyi, the iphone is suppose to come on in the states exclusively for cingular in the states in June, so we'll have to wait quite a while before we can get our hands on it. I really want one!

and Fido is also GSM....

 

like I said Pacific mall will unlock it somehow and you can b7uy from them before it hit our carriers. Got to luv my people for this hehehe

 

haha, i'm hoping you can just buy one at the apple store without a mark up :P And i hope they can come unbranded by the carrier...

 

Pacific mall is good, but i still couldnt get those guys to unlock the black berry.
I have better links than pacific mall its been a while since i bought anything from there...

 

the apple phone looks pretty awesome, but I have a feeling that it would drive me mad using the soft keyboard for sending emails and text messages. I think I'm going to stick with the Black Berry Pearl for my next purchase, unless something better comes along before the cellular phone numbers become mobile between carriers in March.

 

Rogers owns Fido.
