It's EXPENSIVE though - $499 for 4 gig, $599 for 8 and that's with a cingular 2 year contract...

Whatever, it's a business expense

Wow. I was wondering when a device like this was going to come out. Any ideas on battery life?

Looks slick, but I can wait to own one. I gotta make sure that it's reception isn't worse than my gran-mama's 34 year old black and white with foil enhanced rabbit ears.

You now need 4 things for basic survival.

Food, water, shelter, iPhone.

This thing is just sick! I knew it would be. I'm waaaaay to excited about a phone right now. (Thank you NOS Energy Drink.)

I want to get one but I have to use the email solution from my job on the Treo (they pay, so not arguing). That means the wife will be getting one. Damn sweet it is!

2) By the time T-Mobile gets the iPhone or unlocked iPhones start showing up, Apple will have signed another exclusive deal Cingular for the 2nd Gen iPhone (and you know it's going rock harder than the first).

This might be the final straw for me and T-Mobile. I'm getting tired on missing out on phones with the functionality I want and I've been waiting for Apple to make something like this for nearly 8 years. Cingular took a chance on the iPhone, and that may come back to haunt T-mo.
