I would like a review from someone that has this phone, as to it looks pretty dang impressive. I've had the same TREO 650 for about 2 years and I'm ready to upgrade. I've never owned a MP3 player so this would be cool to.

Thanks for any responses.

I'll keep an eye on this thread, as I wanted to get one for my girlfriend.
 
Saw there was a pretty long que outside the appel store in NY on the news, even a Norwegian that was there to get one of the first phones.

Just got myself a htc phone, and that one got all i need, but the I-Phone looks cool too
 
I do like it's touch screen design, but considering that most of phones are made in China (meaning not the best dependability), and cellular provider not offering insurance on such expensive phone touch screen is scary.
 
Everyone buy two. I own some apple stock.
I will probably get the next generation with more storage.
 
600.00 and they say even the modest user will need to upgrade to the tune of 1000.00 or more additional funds to truly use the phone as designed. Wait till a truck full gets stolen and sold on Ebay unlocked for peanuts.
 
i have a thing with first generation technology...i always wait till version 2 or 3 before i make my decisions...just look at the motorola razr...it on like version 5 and still sucks...

Agree, I actually had a client the other day ask me if I was getting one but I'm not. Its more of a phone for somebody into mulitmedia I have a Cingular 8525 that blows away the other windows/pda type phones, powerful, and so many adaptions for programs, and keyboard rocks.

Touch screens get dirty too quickly, screen will look like s smudge fest in a couple hours, I have a small polishing cloth I bring with me and keep in the office and truck. But on my phone I don't have to use just the touch screen.
 
I want one. I think they are cool however having said that i am going to wait till the bugs are worked out before i spend the money
 
Ehuth it not a good idea for a detailer to have a phone like that. i have the moto q. but if your detailing and your sweat gets on that phne you in big trouble. i worked for alltel for 2 yrs and detailers and phones don't mix too well.
 
It is certainly not happening here!! They sure look cool though!!
Surfer, go get one for Meghan!

I totally agree. I use a razor and it's about to die after being held against a sweaty face 8 hours a day. I can't find a blue tooth that works well either. They all make me sound like I'm in a tunnel. Any suggestions? I've tried moto 500, 700, and a samsung.

Yeh thats what sucks about Bluetooth, on my phone though (Cingular 8525) there are options to play with the incomming/outgoing tones and volume instead of just increasing/decreasing the volume directly on the bluetooth, finally got a setting that people can hear me clearly on....now the problem is it seems to pick up every noise around me, my biz partner can be across the office and the person on the phone can hear him talking.
 
my mom got one.

however i do not like that they do not have 3g network ability, only gsm. my cingular 8125 pocket pc phone has that....

wait till next gen when you cam get 3g abi;ity and probably some hardware updates. it looks nice but there are some downs on the phone.

plus no one has figured out how to mod them so you can actually use additional programs. so give the hackers a few months then get one :p

Think the 8125 is the old versin of my 8525, these phones rock for business/personal use:righton:

I check into Nokia, whatever Bluetooth I bought I remember was like 130 or something and was expecting it to be a lot better then people telling me it sounded like I was underwater.

Yeh I love it, wasn't cheap but well worth it. I swtiched from Treos, to BB's, to BJ and kept comming back to the 8525. Built solid as hell to, I've dropped it quite a few times by accident. And yeh google maps saved me once when I was meeting a client for a Commercial project and couldn't find his warehouse, some of the signs were down from construction, Google Maps saved me lol, I was only 5 minutes late haha.
