This is wad we don't like... only for AT&T only 

wa.. it's a locked phone... crazy.. again, constraint from apple.. haih (T_T) why....

Some review about iPhone.

*  The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity. Damn son!

* There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text! WHOA! Big, big mistake.

* No A2DP support. That, friends, is such a huge bummer right there.

* Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.

* On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! Noice.

* It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walt, but he doesn't exactly say how.

* Pogue again confirms document file reading -- but not editing -- for PDF, Word, and Excel (only).

* Adobe Flash support is officially out. It's just not in the browser. Neither is there any other kind of embedded video support. Sorry everybody, that's that.

* It will take snaps, but won't record video. How can Apple love YouTube as much as it does and not realize cellphone-shot movies make up a sizeable chunk of the crazy crap you find on there?
-darn can't snap video

* Oh, and no MMS. And sorry, no voice dialing, either.
   NO MMS

* Contact groups can't be emailed as contact lists.

* Apple sez between 300-400 charges the iPhone will lose battery capacity -- you'll send it in and get the cell replaced for a fee. Meh. We knew this would be the case, but still, meh.

* Apple can (and supposedly will) be rolling out periodic updates -- no surprise there.

* Battery life is, somehow, almost as mind-blowingly good as Apple claims for calls, music, and movies.

* As we suspected, users are prompted with lists of WiFi networks if you're not nearby a trusted hotspot. We've seen this on other phones, and we're afraid this would get friggin annoying.

* It's said to be very scratch resistant. The facade both front and rear apparently just doesn't pick up marring like regular iPods do.

* Voice quality is said to be good -- not great.

they can make the phone as generic and sell as generic set rather than tie to any telco. unlock set at higher price.

but by dealing with telco, the phone will be cheaper as the telco will partly subsidized the phone, making the phone more affordable to the customer with various plan. and hence sim lock the phone is just a way to secure the phone from partly destroying the telco and attract more customer to the telco.

ya i know that too. But Apple? I doubt it will sell unlocked set, just like mac osx in generic pc. 

For all the phrases you bolded, it won't surprise me In fact, i don't expect the phone to be so-called "jesus" phone.  since the phone don't even support java application.   

i foresee that in asia esp. for market target like malaysi. who is it going to join force with, maxis?

if you have bad credit in the US, you are qualify for prepaid plan, with no requirement for 2-year plan.

To insert SIM, it is top of iPhone, right beside the power on button. You will need to slide in a pin, then the SIM tray will eject.

Bad news, the iPhone battery is not concealed but also SOLDERED on to the board!

lets learn what inside the iphone

This hurt even more! My heart will stop beating if this happen to me.

Oh bummer!!! For such a nice product to be let down by this apparent flaw is really dissapointing. Batteries should not be soldered, period. What were the designers thinking. Even the cheapest phone you can find the batteries are replaceable. A definite turn-off for me.

Wow,what an unlucky day.But dont worry,499 or 599 bucks is very cheap for American
