    When does this come out? I heard a year. Which works out perfectly for me. my contract with verizon will end in a year, letting me switch to cingular, get a new contract, and get this for probably $300 or less. sweet.

    don't hold your breath.
    The word on the street seems strong that nobody expects Apple to play the subsidy game that all the other mobile manufacturers do !!!
    Even MORE unlikely if the courts allow Cisco sting them for each phone for the use of the iPhone name

    Apple, teaming up with ANY other company??

    I don't believe it, they'll probably make their own cell phone network.

    The teamed with Motorola to make the half-arsed ROKR thing. And Intel make their chips now, before it was IBM (?).

    Let's not forget that they teamed with (RED) for their special red iPod nano, too.

    Anyways, if you're that good at what you do, you generally don't need to rely on other people for your stuff. Keeps loose ends at a minimum.

    I like the look of the phone, but it's something that I'd need to use for a few days before I'd buy it. Hell, I spent $273.80 on my Nokia WITH the new 2-year contract w/ cingular, so I'd have no problems paying $350 or so assuming Apple discounts it for contracted users.

    On the other hand, I don't want this phone to turn into the Razr where it drops down in price to like $100 so everyone and their dog has one.

    Funny you mention that, my 60+ year old teacher has a RED+ Razr.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    The foldable keyboard does work with the Treo, comes in handy when you're typing things in while at your desk. I'm very, very happy with my Treo 650, I didn't think I'd be switching it for anything else, but the iPhone makes me consider the possibility.

    Foxconn doesn't design anything, they build the stuff.

    Phone compnaies offer discounts when they reach agreement with teh manufacturer for a lower cost to increase their volume.
    I dont' see Apple EVER goign alogn the discount for volume option as they know there are enough style-conscious rich folks to keep production full.

    Again, it's 499/599 WITH a contract. I will NOT go below that price. It has been stated by Apple and Cingular.
