Yes, the iPhone is looking quite good indeed. There is now a front page 20 minute tutorial on Apple.com about the iPhone. This phone is just incredible.

Let's hope it is compatible with the BMW iPod adapter and Bluetooth.

I like the concept but won't be getting one until it works with Verizon service ATT is not a good service to me Vz just works everywhere

Verizon had first dibs on the phone but they opted not to take it.

I used to really dislike ATT back in the day. Today I have phones on both Verizon and TMobile. Domestically in the Eastern half, Verizon has the upper hand, over TMo, in only a few remote areas. Cingular/ATT has about equal coverage to Verizon. I'll soon know how they do with dropped calls. For the record. I have fewer dropped calls with TMo than I do with Verizon. Internationally, Verizon has the worst coverage of the three if you travel to parts of Asia or Europe. And the big reason I'm dumping Verizon has to do with the horrible UI they insist on putting on all but the Palm/WM phones.

I changed my mind from the iPhone to SE W960

I am getting one the first day. I am not only a gadget man, but I am involved in such type device design with a competitor.

I am buying it knowing that the next version is should be out soon. Its limited memory is the biggest negative to this expensive unit. One expects at least external storage for its best known feature music playing. One can just imaging how many music songs you can store besides pictures, address book ring tones and now is is supposed to store U-Tube video. I think MMS will be added feature later as software upgrade

The next one may be enhanced memory,

Yet the next after next is real 3G the current one is only EGPRS!

I want an iphone for its all-in-one capabilities. I don't like bulky unattractive phones like treos and blackberries. I almost got a Blackjack, but a friend advised not to after having it for 2 weeks---battery dies same day with bluetooth and 3G. So, I love stylish accessories and I am a minialist person. I want one small do-it-all device with apple styling and ease of use. Also, my last 4 cars have been BMWs and I have little desire to buy anything else (maybe a quattroporte since the current 7 isn't as much of a driver's car anymore). Apple and BMW have a good relationship and I'm hoping this will pay dividens with the iphone. Could you imagine if I am able to buy one tomorrow and I plug it in to my ipod kit and it has added functionality with the idrive screen that has not yet been announced!! (unlikely I know - but maybe on future BMWs...). - btw, I saw the photoshoped pics of the 7 series idrive w/iphone.

I am concerned about not being able to buy one tomorrow. I have heard that literrally only a handful of units are going to each store. I am not concerned about competition from people like myself since professionals in my area are relatively behind the times and cheap! What I am worried about is the ghetto bangers and drug dealers plunking down 30 $20 bills to get it because it's hot-to-death yo. I'm just hoping these people don't know much about the release date details.

We'll see tomorrow.....Good luck to all others in their efforts to bag the elephant tomorrow.

I'll be in line too. Apple retail stores are limiting sales to two per person, AT&T limiting to one. Activation will be through iTunes (new 7.3 will be available tomorrow) and not in store - so the lines will go quick. Word is that 80% of the day 1 shipments are of the 8 gig model - which is the one I want.

Some of the major stores are getting up to 1000 phones 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of 8gb to 4gb units (depending on who you believe). Of the three million iPhones made about one million will be available in the first week. Not all AT&T stores will sell them either. Only the COR AT&T and Apple retail stores will have the phone. Cingular/AT&T resellers will be SOL. If you have an Apple store in your area I would try them first. I think they have more experience dealing with crowds and events like this so they may be better organized (just my opinion). Still not 100% I want a revision A iPhone especially since it's missing IMing. But then again, I'll likely give in to my weakness for a new toy. So when's the iPhone cradle due out?

How come just about every publication has been writing negative articles about the new iphone. Their saying not enough memory, low battery life, bad for business users, inability to sync with corporate email, no 3g capabilities, no java, Rabid e-mailers or texters will not like keyboard-free design, no removable battery, no expansion slot, no built in GPS, and many more.

I would wait for the iphone2 release.

Not to mention AT&T/Cingular doesn't exactly have the best track record.

I'm sure it'll be a cool toy but will it be as functional as my BlackBerry? I'm doubtful but I'll have to wait and see...
