Have a look at that link. No cellphone functionality.

Questions:
1. Would you get one as a very expensive iPod/PDA?
2. Do you think it can be hacked to work on South African mobile networks?

Personally, I will wait for the next generation of iPhones, and until then I will get a Nokia E90.

10 GRAND!!!

No thanks, I think Vodacom & MTN are going to lap this phone into some attractive contracts if it's ever released officially over here.

Word from Apple South Africa, release date February/March 2008 in South Africa, and it should be rev 2 with 3G support

Who is that?

Remember before the Nokia N95 was available in SA, Have2have wanted something like 12 000k for the phone. They are crazy.

At R10k that's an exchange rate of R20/$ :/

A iPhone with no phone? Thats a iPod with 8GB. No thanks. I have a 30GB iPod video.

30gb iPod @ quarter the price of the 8gb iPhone.

CellC said September.. but then you'd probably have to be a CellC client... so the iPhone would still be dead on the network.

Now CellC is claiming they'll have it?

Someone posted an advert here somewhere on the forum where they said it'd be here in September.
