I too am hoping for a phone, because I want/need both an iPod and a new phone, and the idea of two in one sounds great. The MP3 player part is much more important to me than the phone part (it only has to make calls to keep me happy), so most of the current products of that sort don't really interest me -- they all seem designed to be phones first, with a lousy MP3 player tacked on as an afterthought.
