or should i say iphone = nokia killer?

or should i say iphone=nokia N95 KILLER

This one looks amazingly cool and elegant. The huge screen is to die for.

ya... by judging from the picture is not enough. Should watch how Jobs demo it at the keynote. It's a whole new technology, including 3 advance sensor.. blah blah. I'm really speechless while watching the keynote video

most of u just hv a look at the spec and pic..

try to watch the video below (select 'watch iphone introduction'), you will get more of it..

- how ipod gonna work in it, so as ipod video works
- how u will get text rich html browsing via safari
- how it work as a normal phones
- how the wifi and edge works to provide continuous connection to internet
- how the files browsing is diff (looks quite close to symbian 3rd ed and os x)
- how the multi-touch (w/o stylus) works
- how the phone os x and interface looks like
- how simple to use, compare to wm pda phone where u need to go to memory setting to end task properly after opening each task
- how iphone change the telephony technology
- and best how they compare to few smartphones
- and etc etc

but other side.. camera is worst.. however the ipod sides of the phone is cool too (a direct blow to SE walkman)

For me its a compromise over the pda phones but still gonna get one...Iphone's main sell point:

- Big screen
- Sexy

Just like a Hot Hot chick that has big... can't cook, high maintenance, perangai buruk... but WTF.. Sexxxxy sial...how to resist?

then again , if its like alll apple products , it tends to get outdated fast (ipods anyone? ). still it should prove interesting ... i will get it regardless of whatever drawbacks it has .

anyway,
i dont mind getting this phone. the only non-3g phone i would invest. especially during travelling!

i am very tempted to how u can do everything on ur phone using finger.. instead of stylus.. and the IPOD side just pawn se walkman 2.0 at the moment.. and not to say the OS X interface, plus ease of use..

no double using fingers much ezier and faster. that's how i'm using my p990i and all my previous pda/pda phone. (well u need a good screen protector) at least apple marketing or rnd team has done a good job implementing this features

u guys have to watch the keynote video.... listen carefully on the 24th minute... jobs did mention that they're planning to include 3g in the future...

ya. now they kinda like testing this product. How smooth it goes in the market. So basically, it will be similar like ipod, 1st gen den 2nd gen and so on... Marketing strategy

actually .. in what way you wanna compare iphone with n95 ..?

n95 has the 5mp af .. double sliding technology .. 3g ..

iphone has its own good ..

it will not fight each other .. and definately, iphone is not a n95 killer ..

plus, iphone will only be out in early 2008 here ... so maybe n97 will be something like iphone?

Top 5 Worst Things About The iPhone
At the risk of sounding churlish-we love the iPhone, we truly do, and will sacrifice our children to get our hands on one-not all is perfect behind the pearly white gates of heaven. Here are the top five worst things about the phone, media player, computer and news frenzy:

1) Cingular. They're North America's largest cellular network, so it makes sense for Apple to deal with them. But it would have been far better if Apple had taken on the carriers' chokehold on handset provisioning wholesale, and simply sold unlocked phones.

2) 8GB Flash drive. For many, it will be more than enough, but the iPhone won't kill the iPod until drive sizes start matching the needs of MP3-era music libraries. My fear is that Apple will stick to its guns and stick with Flash media as it grows to 16GB and beyond, but a second-gen iPhone with magnetic storage is an obvious upgrade path.

3) Built-in battery. Apple's bothersome tradition of non-user-servicable batteries continues. There's no reason to do this, frankly, aside from the kind of implied "we're aesthetic obsessives" claim that Apple still gets away with.

4) No 3G. Fast internet is the horse, 3G is one hind leg.

5) With all those features, a QWERTY keyboard stashed within (somehow) would be the perfect way to turn this little beast into Apple's answer to the UMPC: a cheap, fully-featured computing device in addition to a phone and music player. Even a clamshell...

wow... contract with Cingular.. hope the rate of the contract dun increase.. if not the phone price will also rise..

wat does tat mean? the contract/price wont change much, but the minutes, services provided or tariff tat will change. diff plan hv diff rate and we dont know yet which plan does the usd499 applied to. maybe monthly plan abt usd 30 carry the phone at cost of usd 499 while other cheaper plan for example usd 15 monthly will need u to pay more for the iphone.. so tis is quite hard to estimate the unit price without any plan..

i believe the price without any contract for this phone is quite expensive..

in the keynote: it is quoted tat blackberry pearl cost abt usd 299 with 2 yr contract and 4gb model of iPhone at usd 499.. so u can see tat the price for contract free iphone shud be more than rm3k, but tat could be only confirmed after released of iphone in us and particularly to other part of world..

well.. i see many type of price plans b4 lor.. sumtimes some package they will give free phone but the monthly payment quite high.. then not worth lor..

actually also depends on the package u choose also la.. i also now bur liau..

better not to mention it to smashpOp?
anyway...liked the design...
still wondering of how to make use of this phone...

have a lot at the keynote, the apple introductory talk to iphone.. well introduction and features demonstrated in the talk..

jz watch the video presentation.
