I'm just disappointed by the lack of a SD slot.
Rather then putting movies/music on the internal drive, I'd much prefer to hot swap movies that are on SD cards
Apple would never put and SD slot on the iPhone what would be the point of buying a 4gb if someone could just slot an SD Card in an 8gb SD card (There is such thing) and get 12gbs?
wifi is a real battery drain, everyone knows that, dont think apple could do anything about that.
what i hope is that it is easy to turn wifi off when not needed - i'm sure clicking on the status icon for it will bring up a drop down list like on real os x.
with wifi off, the only other big drain is that HUGE screen! i can live with that cuz it will b beautiful!
I don't think it was meant to be impressive, just adequate. I have a v3 and I'm lucky to get 4 hours out of it. I understand the new ones do about 6 and a half so 5 seems reasonable to me also.
I'm thinking so too. I think keeping around my RAZR will be great for taking it places I would not be comfortable taking my iPhone. I'm sure over time this will change, but it's like the new car thing. You park in the back of the parking lot for a few months, but after a while you get tired and park with everyone else.
I thought Steve put that rumor to rest at Macworld?
THANK YOU. I wish people would at least bother to research or pay attention before talking out of their asses.
So it doesn't work with Vista? You have to use XP?

She may give, but I hope she doesn't at this point. I mean I hope she gives into the idea that it's something to consider.
It's obviously amazing and yet it may still suck. We have to wait. The keyboard may suck. Having ATT may suck. The data plan may be too expensive. Edge may significantly hinder the experience. We may find out that 3g is on the way soon, thus making it worth waiting a few months more. VZW may release a worthy killer. Etc.
I guess, for me, there are still too many unknowns. If I had a wife I'd hope that she'd have come to a similar conclusion. I'd hope she'd be pleading for restraint rather than encouraging, or accepting, blind faith spending.
With everything we don't know yet the impressions of this first wave of customers could be anything from complete nirvana and the welcoming of a step forward in mobile experience to eating several hundred dollars, lengthy rants on MR and elsewhere about the level of suckage and what a complete let down it is, to riots in front of retail stores where people sing songs and smash their phones on the ground.
It doesnt work like that. Once I had a locked phone (biiig mistake
) and everytime you put SIm from another carrier phone just couldnt connect to any network."Apparently more information has been leaked about the iPhone, and they've found that it has a new button, a Power / Lock." iPhone alley
i thought this was on screen? i never recall seeing that button in any pics?

Yes thats why they are saying its a new button for power and locking, can you read what you just typed?
Not all phones have SIM cards."
My Treo 650 does not.
I'm going to assume that you don't have a gsm based 650 then since my Treo 650 certainly does have a sim card. Instructions regarding it are here...
Palm: SIM cards, and how to insert or remove them
Yeah, its going to be important if this phone is also released as unlocked or sold after contracts.
I love vibrate, but doesn't it use up a lot of battery power? Could that be a reason Apple would leave it out?
Every single phone on the market has vibrate. I WILL have vibrate. I can't imagine it not having vibrate. And no vibrate doesn't use any battery unless it's constantly vibrating. If you want that there are other, more suitable, products for sale
SIM tray means you are able to exchange SIM cards. Now I wonder how long until someone crack it to work with different providers. Week?? Two weeks???
I hope that someone hacks it to work with Sprint.
Either way.... were is the real rumors... I think this post qualifies as a fact on a rumors site. Sounds a bit "wrong" if you ask me.
Apple wouldn't release a phone with such a basic feature missing
Of course the iPhone will have a vibrate function! Rod
You and many millions are still hoping for that?
Sorry man... that is not how Cingular and Apple Cellular work.
