I think you must have heard wrong. There are two models who cost $499 and $599 with a two year contract with Cingular. It can't possibly cost $600 per month! I think it looks delicious although I probably won't be getting it until the 2nd or 3rd generation. “$600 per month AFTER discount”

Cingular is AT&T mobile network so it is nit open for all networks here in the US. But I went down to the Macworld exhibition yesterday, free exhibition ticket otherwise I wouldn't have bothered, and this is what I heard: *You can't install any 3rd party software on it *$600 per month AFTER discount *Not clear if the touch screen will be any good for typing emails *Poor battery life with high processing power and screen *Apple is not good on first generation gadgets But the presentation was so slick, lots of people standing around the phones and Mac people being hype over the phone. Apple showed off the iTV something and the good thing it has no DRM issues. So I am not in to Apple, macs any & i*s really, only have a 2nd generation iPod.

*You can’t install any 3rd party software on it
*$600 per month AFTER discount
*Not clear if the touch screen will be any good for typing emails
*Poor battery life with high processing power and screen
*Apple is not good on first generation gadgets

But the presentation was so slick, lots of people standing around the phones and Mac people being hype over the phone.

And look at the cost man! I hope they are considering some iPhone Shuffle too :) I'm sure it's gonna churn up the mac sales even more. They say half of the mac sales last year were made to first-time customers, mostly converts from windows. GUI is generally a matter of habit, so I think iPhone will do a good job making people comfortable with OS X UI, and then they can switch :) Not coming to Asia before 2008. And look at the cost man!

People are saying it doesn't run on that 3G software, so it's gonna be slow. But in the future, they'll have "iPhone 20th Generation" type thing... OMG I hate that generation stuff. PS.
