3G only I guess, but anyone that used 3G before will just feel its a downgrade, its running new software that has no 3rd party apps, networks have to change towers for the phone to work on it... lol I dont think Cell C would and many other networks.

Its yet to be seen if they'll open it up for third party developers. wwdc starts Monday - perhaps there will be an announcement about it then? The basis of the phones software is OsX - developers shouldnt have any problems.

I dont think anyone believes the model that Europe gets isnt going to have high speed access.

Why do the towers have to change? They would need to re-work the voice mail system but that deserves changing anyway.

EDIT - btw - I'm still not getting one - I need a real keyboard - but its amusing seeing the fanbois and haters facing off over a phone that isnt even available yet :D

As far as I've heard the only network modification needed is that to support voice mail browsing. The phone will work without that.

So far I think Europe will get the edge enabled Iphone.

Ye lol its a first for Apple just skeptical, but from what I know people tend to be sheep when it comes to cellphones, if you have a look a Razr sales you can see that aesthetics play a huge role in sales, and in the Iphones case the name will sell it, SA mxit users wont be to thrilled with it!:p

I dont think anyone other than SA Mxit users are too concerned about SA Mxit users. :p

Seriously - I'm sure someone could come up with a web based app that iPhone users could access if there isnt native jabber support - a'la ichat or google talk.
 
christmas shopping list has been updated..hell yeah

it won't be difficult to develop for this iphone as all you will need are the proper tools, xcode etc...so lets set the developers on it..hehehe
