Why can't be be like Europe, where a specific cellphone is not tied to only one phone company? Actually, I thought I read a rumor somewhere that the iPhone would work with multiple services....

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I will be sticking with me new Treo 680 and my normal iPod video for the foreseeable future, but that is PURTY.
Is Apple not planning on selling it unlocked like Palm sells the Treos? I hate contracts. And it would be fun to see people try to get it working well with T-Mobile, since it's the only other GSM service in the US.
Apple's stock price is up over 7% right now.
Palm and RIM (Blackberry) are each down 6%.

WANT iPHONE! ND, my birthday is next month and I've been very very good...!
I knew I should have bought some apple stock yesterday... I was at the website and everything. But then I didn't. Sigh.

I'd want to hear how well the interface really works. It looks cool, but sometimes buttons are a good thing. This is all theoretical for me though as I wouldn't really use the thing enough to buy it.
Time to start the betting pool on Who Will Be The First Buffista To Order One.
I put 5 Siamese on ND, and for good measure, 2 Sphynxes on tommyrot and 2 Maine Coons on Scola.
I won't be able to get one for a while. I just signed a 2-year Sprint contract a few months ago.
Re: Battery Life. A quote from Macworld -
"The iPhone features a battery that lasts for five hours of talk time, video or Web page browsing, or 16 hours of audio playback."
5 hours of talk or video would be ok for me - but DH would be chargeing the thing constantly - he lives on the phone.
