OK, maybe the Australian version will be 3G, and maybe it will finally be able to run third party applications... but as it stands, the image holds true.
Comment made about the PC Authority article:
Buzz builds on iPhone launch?
No iPhone yet, but the rumours keep coming thick and fast about the possible launch of a 3G version in Australia soon. Is this just loose talk, or should you hold off on that eBay purchase?
What do you think? Join the discussion. |

I still want one... but I think I will hold off until the 3G version gets here. |

Something that is shorter, narrower and lighter than the iPhone is a brick?

The amazing thing about iPhone is not the weight - it's the interface (as with all Apple products).
Have you tried using Windows Mobile lately? Sure you get email, but it's so clunky. After using a windows Mobile phone I've come to the conclusion the stylus is good for one thing - Tablets. If you've got a phone you want to be able to use your fingers or thumb one-handed. That's the key to iPhone. |

Ahh I have allies.
I think I've mentioned before somewhere, it's the UI on the iPhone that's the selling point. |

Touch screens are cute. Some tactile feedback wouldn't go astray though... |

An interface doesn't mean anything without the functionality.

and the iPhone lacks functionality how? Maps, calendar, youtube, photos etc. The music functionality alone craps on the competition including Nokia.
That said, it's a different device to a "normal" phone. The phone is wider, it's essentially an iPod with voice calling attached. I will be buying an iPhone when it officially launches here. As for my non-techy friends, i think the iTunes users will switch phones, and the rest will stick with their "normal" phones. |

and i also think there's some anti-apple sentiment from people who don't like "slick" products. Don't deny what works well, i say. |

I have had a HP RW6826 for the last 2 years. I work for a phone retailer, and just before Christmas I received my Iphone fro the US. Everyone is right when they say that it is the UI which is the selling point. It is the easiest and most simple UI to operate. Teh processors on the machine keep the applications running smooth and fast. The swap time from one ap to the next is seamless,a nd the ability for a non tech to undesrtand and competently use this phone is incredible. EASY and SIMPLE. Something you can't and never will say about any handset which uses the Symbian OS.

A little birdy ahs been fluttering around my ears, saying something like "MAY 26th, SYDNEY, STEVE JOBS, 3G IPHONE". |
