Most of the specs are no surprise, but it does lay to rest some recent rumors that the iPhone would lack a SIM tray.

Now, don't go complaining about the battery life. Someone will come out with a battery Mod. Also you can just about bet the farm that someone will come out with an external doodad that will charge the battery with a little clip on thing.

A battery mod? How could someone make a battery "mod" and there already are 30pin iPod chargers.

Will it be supported on Panther 10.3.9 too? Just a thought. Also, will there be FireWire support too?
Click to expand...

The specs state 10.4.8 or later.

The specs look pretty good to me. I would be hard pressed to find another phone that gives you 8 GB of storage, for example. Only when we can actually use the phone will we know if the interface and functionality is everything that the hype has promised.

Not Vista?

According to the list, it works only with Windows XP Home and Professional Editions. That wil tick off a few Vista users!

Meh. They could have upped the storage...really. Since the announcement flash prices have halved.

Ha! You know it's a mac afficionado forum when 10 comments in to it there is no mention that Vista is left off of the System Reqs.:)

That's my only complaint about the iPhone. Otherwise it's a wonderful device.

Yeah so it now means I have to slow my AEBS Network down if I can ever afford an iPhone!

Does it vibrate? or is there just a ringer and silent option.
Click to expand...

Well I would hope to say that 'silent' implied for 'vibrate'... After all if silent simply turned off the ringer then what would be the difference between 'silent' and 'off'? :confused:
