It looks great. But I know it will never come to me (virgin mobile prepaid) I don't think it has wifi though.

I'm getting one...hopefully one day. The price is a lot over my budget though, hehe. The design is so beautiful and sleek, just brilliant. I thought this was only a concept too! *dances* Hmm...I need to get an iTV as well. There goes my money, lol. sweatingbullets.gif

It does look nice.

But the price is a tad bit ridiculous to me, especially with a 2yr contract.

And look at that shiny, mirror surface/covering. I'm super klutzy when it comes to cell phones, I drop mine all the time. There's no way I could get that phone.

Xarthan is that the confirmed picture of the iPhone? I've seen several different kinds...
surpr!se. ^^v

looks nice.

but you can still do so much more with japanese phones.

they should stop making phones here in the US until they make a nice network with features like those in Asia.

probably the phone will be made in china hehe. go china!

don't worry an apple phone will not be crap like all the phones in the US. I reckon they will be queuing up in Japan for the iphone, much like they queued up when the first apple store opened in ginza. I dunno maybe they like queues there...

... that looks pretty darn cool
however, i don't know if i'd actually like to have one to use as a cell
with the whole thing practically being a screen, i would probably spend more time worrying about not scratching it than enjoying it
i guess i'll have to see it in person

for me, i'm looking forward to:

- awesome multi-touch user interface. i never liked interfaces on current phones, so i stuck with my ancient nokia... nothing out there like multi-touch yet
- 3d itunes cover flow - on a phone!!
- will sync with my mac seamlessly.
- Google maps on a phone + satellite view - i'll never get lost again smile.gif
- widescreen video - i suppose it's cool for showing off. i like the fact that it senses the orientation your holding the phone and changes the display to match.
- surfing soompi anywhere haha

i'm just figuring how much i will spend on ebay to get this sucker... $1000 is the max at the moment. mmm maybe $1500...

anyway here are some specs:

i'm hoping
1. good battery life
2. you can actually change the battery
3. scratch resistant

It looks good design wise, but I will not be considering this phone because:

1. Costs way too MUCH.
2. They only show the front? What about the back?
3. Battery life is a major factor. If that sucks then the phones sucks.
4. Will it have good reception?

PLUS

I don't need all those extra features on a freaking phone.

click on me!
