iPhone out this week

I wait with bated breath to hear what the pricing is gonna be like :D That said, I probably won't be making use of my pre-order[1] request. *sigh*

Edit: [1] Assuming they haven't lost all record of me pre-ordering in the first place, since I haven't heard a peep since the registration sms!

Phone's such as Nokia's E71 and HTC's Diamond have both been launched into the market while the iPhone was delayed and are receiving very positive reviews.

I've got no intention of getting one at this time but I'm also curious to hear what Vodacom's data plan pricing will be like.

My money is on exorbitant :o

I certainly hope it's exorbitant, I don't want everybody to have one. :)
 
I have been waiting so long for one and now that the possibility is that it is finally here, all interest is lost, well most of it :(.
 
Sigh, I ran out of patience 2 months ago and got the N95 8GB. Now I wish I had waited :( Anyone wanna swop? :D
 
I'll pass on this, thank you very much. The Apple lock-down of this device is unacceptable.

Just my take on it...

The features most important to me on a high-end device is wi-fi and photography.

Since the camera on the i-phone is rubbish (I've read the reviews), I'm considering this puppy ..http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/7715_Samsung_INNOV8_i8510-8_megapix.php

Ok, it's not touch-screen, but pretty well specced. Im just sayin

Seriously get whatever phone you like but just buy yourself a decent point and shoot if you're at all interested in photography - they have better glass and superior sensors than any camera phone. :o

+1 My IPhone doesn't take great photos. They look good on the small screen as that's what its intended to do. But on a monitor, not so good.

Any cheap digital camera should be able to take better pics than any phone.
 
true

You're right about that :) In fact, a nice DSLR is the way to go

It's still a quest of the perfect all-in-one device,and since I travel alot, any extra chargers and AC adaptors are not so welcome. So I may just have to make do with a plastic lens and compromise my principles in life.

The tech that is packed into the Samsung is all bells-n-whistles, and it charges over USB.

The i-phone is nice as long as you don't want to any photos...
 
It's been delayed for so long because vodacom loads a bunch of *** software on the phone that @ the end of the day ****s up the devise.

You have to see the disclaimer for the Iphone test model. thing is 200 pages long.
 
Can anyone provide an update on unlocking the iPhone 3G? Being forced to use Vodacom may be just too much of a hurdle. Isn't network locking illegal here anyway?

From what I've read, it may just be better to stick to the GSM version anyway. At least you can unlock it and use it anywhere, and there's a lot more coverage. Speed is not as different as people think, and the UMTS version eats power.
 
Just my luck that it is finally confirmed; I just bought my Nokia E71 on Saturday. Loving my E71 now that I've used it, but if the iPhone were an option for me at the time of buying my E71 I would have been tempted by far better music capabilities, a higher resolution screen, and tri-mode UMTS (so 3G can work here AND in the USA). I do text and e-mail a lot, so on that front, the E71 wins hands down with its qwerty keyboard...
 
I hope there's stock! Vodacom made me fill in two different pre-register, one they replied and sent me like last week, but the first has no link at all to the second, completely diff info, including no cell number, so how they going to contact me?

Well, these guys have done it and they say their stuff will never get bricked.

But for R 11,399.00, no thanks. I would rather use that cash and go on holiday.

All I wanna do is play with an Iphone and own an android phone.
