    i think the phone is kinda crapy...and yes the stats maybe nice like the touch screen and the ability to store a ton of songs on it or the ability to take pictures on it...but your more than likely going to buy the phone to use its multimedia capbilities more than anything else....and yet apples locks the phone in last gen technology preventing you from using its full capabilities.

    The phone is built with a 2.5G background, when many areas are going toward the 3G spectrum....so what does the 2.5G mean to the average users? it means slower up and download speed with no possibility of upgrading to a faster connection unless of course u spend more money to make it go faster.

    Why spend money on technology that is old and being replaced already? I think the american tech industry, especially the cell phone realm and the FCC who really need to realize that we are in the 21st century and not the 20th century

    Just a little food for thought....have u guys ever wondered why we never get those really kick ass/kool phones to america?

    Its not cuz the companies don't want to bring the phones in but its because the government won't let them bring those phone in...don't ask me what exactly is all the red tape that they ahve to deal with but it must be a lot cuz not many neato phones every make it to america

    I want one but too expensive. but most likely with Rogers, the 3 year plan will make it much cheaper.


    is apple still being sue right now for using the name iphone?

    I kept on thinking it's a marketing stunt, simply cannot believe Apple making such a grave mistake.
