iPhone is better than advertised or announced? Rumors sound real good... too good? PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Could be reverse FUD... make it sound too good so that the real thing comes off worse than now to be expected. Hmmmmm,

I use a Cingular 8125 and am looking at various phones for an upgrade (I want more speed). In my opinion, a hard drive is a liability for a PDA phone - it adds a breakable moving part that is better dispensed with by increasing the flash memory. I don’t want to replace my phone, I want it to last. Hard drives wont, unless they sit on your desk and don’t get carried around. I have cheap land line phones and a desktop PC for the only situation in which the hard drive is not going to crap out.

(Note: Makes sense…at the 4 and 8 gig sizes, the Nano size premium is only 50 dollars…why would the iPhone be 100?)

Because people are willing to pay $100 extra for it.

Sounds pretty and everything, but I’ll stick with my $39 phone.

A lot of that sounds great (although I would wonder if Wireless N would kill the battery life), but if it doesn’t have a way to use it as a modem for a MacBook/MacBook Pro, then it’s useless to me. I’ll stick with my cheaper Windows smartphone/PDA.
