I still love you Matty!


I'd definitely be getting one.... IF Cingular wasn't the provider.. still a touch screen iPod though... but expensive without a contract... likely with one too.

I think I'm getting one. I think it looks really nice and I like 'what it offers'.

If only the camera is 5 megapixel, then I'd consider buying. However, the 8GB flash memory and the implemented high technology are already attracting me, making me wanting to buy it.
But still, in my opinion, I still think Nokia N95 is much better though.

The NextG network isn't that good.  Very expensive, for not really great performance.  And the 3.75G network is outdated before it is being implemented (bit like CDMA) as 4G networks are already being installed in other parts of the world and the 3.75G network is barely getting a look at by most telecommunications companies around the world (hence only 4 models of phones in the world being able to use it).[/rant]

Anyway, the phone is only GSM capable atm and is soon to have 3g capabilities soon too.  The main reason behind the late shipping is because of a deal between apple and Cingular (an American telecommunication company) from what I can tell.

totally agree with you, but with telstra or other telco's implementing 3G now, in the long term to get to 4G its only gonna require a software upgrade, , an yes 3G aint that great but its a sight lot better than the current 2G crap, Australia in some ways has been behind other countries, why, im not so sure, ,

It's not just this "NextG" network stuff which the phone will require - it's other changes to infrastructure too (see my post in the other thread) which makes me skeptical on how Australian networks will adopt it.

The only phone network who will be able to carry the iPhone (and provide decent functionality - internet access through EDGE services) is currently Telstra (and we all know how much they suck)

will read it soon, but i think your right about telstra being the only one but , im not so sure, i think telstra will be the first, then months afterwards companies like Optus will use them to, , i think they'll be the only ones to use the Iphone, IMO anyway. Telstra aint to bad considering i  was with optus for 8 years till i made the switch, ,
