1. Can you bluetooth photos/videos/files to other phones/bluetooth devices?
2. Does it sync with/work with hotmail accounts?
3. What attachments can the Mail application display? Photos, videos....?
(Also, if some thoughtful person does one of those lengthy "here's me going through everything clearly on the iPhone" videos, could MacRumors put a link on the front page?)

Will it be possible to purchase an unlocked or prepay / pay-as-you-go iPhone through the Apple store in the US and have it shipped overseas (in my case the UK, but I imagine other countries will wish to do the same)
Very Important Questions

Is it possible to get a Firewire connection cable from the dock to the mac? As you can with iPods. (I've run out of USB ports on my mac and USB hub!!)
For users already on Cingular/AT&T: How is signal/voice quality compared to your prior phone in similar areas? What phone was that?
If Mail is set to check email every five minutes, how long does the battery last? Alternatively, can it get through a workday (10-12hrs) with that type of activity and still have juice left over?
For web speed over EDGE, perhaps videotaping the screen during usage would be helpful (to see overall layout process, better that just a stopwatch).
What web sites that you regularly use render well, not well, or not at all?
Does the bluetooth work with your car's handsfree kit (if you have one), and if so what car?

Will I be able to plug it into the iPod connector in my car to play music?
If so, when i get a phone call, will the phone call be played through my speakers? And if that is so, will the onboard microphone still function so that i'll have a built in hands-free system???

can you purchase any cingular/att plan with the phone, or do you have to have certain features, like texting, or data. i know people will want them but i want to know if they are required
1) What kind of access do you have to files on the phone.

And Is there some kind of Finder/file browser on the phone.
2) Can you record your phone conversations on the phone.
3) Speaker phone, good, bad, ugly?

Does it sync Notes via iTunes as opposed to copying files in place via Disk mode like iPod? (I guess the iTunes update will be announced on the same day).
Is anyone willing to test my Pod SnapShots on their iPhone?
Rod.

1. What happens if you attempt to move your thumb in a rotating scroll-wheel motion, do you scroll like on an iPod or up/down like of you did it on a touch pad?
2. How much of the 4 or 8 gb are already taken up by iPhone software?
3. Are voice mail messages stored to the flash drive or can they be saved to it?
4. Can the phone be used as an external mic when it's plugged into the Mac?

Will AT&T or Apple (via Applecare) offer an equipment replacement program?
Will AT&T or Apple (via Applecare) offer an equipment replacement program?
Cellphone service providers usually offer some sort of equipment replacement program (insurance). The subscriber pays $4 or $5 a month for insurance that replaces the unit with a refurbished model if the unit breaks or is lost/stolen.
However, most new cellphone models that hit the market are NOT covered by the provider's insurance vendor. It usually takes a 3-6 months before the insurance companies are ready to cover new models.
Plunking down $599 for a new model cellphone better come with some sort of ERP. Otherwise, I'm waitin'.
Finally, what happens when Safari encounters a website that requires Flash for navigation (such as www.comcast.net).

Bluetooth and the dock connector
What Bluetooth profiles does it support?
Does it actually work (tested) with:
- your carkit
- your voice headset (brand?)
- your computer (as a modem or network access device)
- your speakers or hifi headset (Bluetooth A2DP profile) (brand? model?)
- your car stereo for playing music over Bluetooth (again A2DP) and skipping songs etc. (brand? model?)
- your car stereo using the dock connector (brand?)
- a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse (brand?)
Do your iPod dock connector accessories work with the iPhone? Which ones?

Sealed battery?
How does one replace the battery? Looks like another one of those "you didn't pay quite enough for this the first time around, let us charge you for a battery replacement kind of product." This concerns me because I think this thing will eat up batteries. They should be user replaceable!!

im pretty sure they announced that it does not sync wirelessly but it will sync bookmarks when you sync it with the cable
Message waiting icons?
I'm curious whether you will be able to tell if you have a message waiting for you (SMS or voice) without turning the thing on.
Let's say I step away from my phone for awhile and when I come back I want to have a quick glance to see if I've got any missed calls or messages waiting. Do you have to go through the trouble of waking it up and sliding that little thing at the bottom to be able to tell this? Or will there be some little icon in the menu bar that serves as an indicator from the "locked phone" screen (where the slider thing is)
One thing I love about my current phone is the display on the outside that lets me know just by looking at it if I missed anything.
