Ahh ok, I noticed your location is set wrong - Annapolis, MD *wink wink* (very cloak and dagger, very clever
Not sure where your CDMA comment came from....but you know what? A company can make a product to suit whatever region it cares to. I'm glad its CDMA and couldnt care any less about countries outside the US
Yeah, and I don't give a rat's about what tech requirements exist for the US market.
Seriously. I couldn't care less. ;-)
Nothing wrong with nokia
Anyway, I was making a SUGGESTION - IF YOU WANTED A PHONE THAT HAS ALL THE FEATURES THAT WAS LISTED, THEN CONSIDER THE NOKIA E-SERIES!!!
i don't think your girlie bitchy comment contributed towards this discussion, either.
Personally I think an Apple phone will be too basic to be usable - a la iWeb.
I agree, the last 2 phones I've had have been Nokia and I don't want to get anything else, I want an E series phone so bad but they are super expensive.
I think that an apple phone would be great and for sure there will be some cool features but apple doesn't have a track record with phones so ill stick with nokia.
i'm not sure it is such a good idea. Consider: With two batteries, neither can be as powerful as a single battery occupying the same space as the two. So the user loses the ability to manage his device as he/she chooses: depending on where you are, who you're with, what you're doing, i can imagine there'd be times when you'd just want to max the mp3 life...when you're somewhere there's a landline, or you just don't want to receive calls, whatever. Similarly, there'd be times a user would long for the maximum life with the phone--a busy business day, a travel emergency, whatever. In each of these scenarios, the user's at the mercy of the device--he/she will have approx half the batt life max for EACH of the two functions. I'd rather be in control of matters like that.
Time for fake pics to appear...
With all the current craze and MWSF just around the corner, it's time we started seeing some good fakes...
Like that 16x9 full screen iPod in the factory with the chinese writing on the connector. That one totally faked me out! I bought it. Hook, line and sinker. (Apologies for the mixed metaphors)
Okay, now those of you firing up you digital cameras and launching photoshop, remember, if it isn't in an elevator it isn't quite right.

Why two batteries?
Besides the "selling feature" of two batteries, it is probably a function of the phone having two segments, the display segment and the keyboard segment. Hence two battery "available" spaces.
Kinda like the Shuffle with active ingredients in both parts.

maybe there will be another version of it with a camera... like one of the other models
Apple's overall quality hasn't declined. They had tons of problems with the MacBooks and MacBookPros because they they had to stuff a completely new system architecture and chipset in tiny latptops. That caused problems, but Apple has been good about replacing those machines, and working on fixing them overall ... I got a first generation Intel iMac, it runs fine. No problems for months and months.
I recently got a new iPod Shuffle as well. No problems with it either.
I'll admit the notebooks have had a lot of problems. I know 3 people who got MacBookPros; they have all had to send them back to be fixed.
Of course, I can't just rely completely on my personal expirience. But there have been no news stories about faulty 5.5G iPods, 2G Nanos, 1G Shuffles, Intel iMacs, Intel Xserves or Mac Pros. There's not a real problem with Apple's quality control, so please don't spread that kind of ridicule about Apple when it's not true.
Unfortunately I have worked at Best Buy since the new Nanos were released and the 8GB black hasn't sold for poo. So your friends may have bought a couple, but consumers don't get it.
That click wheel and two buttons look like Mickey ears (although the ears are a little small). Well Steve is on the Disney board of directors, right? Maybe there's a connection?
Damn. Where do I pay?

"Captain! we need to divert more power to the shields!"
Why not one big battery that has a software controller to divert power properly? The extra space taken up by two batteries, two latches, two voltage regulators, two power circuits, two battery terminals, etc. just doesn't make sense.

Wish I could sell that kind of poo
8GB non is 20th on the Amazon electronics
Maybe its Best Buy clientel that don't get it
ok, that's only a year and half old....
seriously though, it's been posted several times
Well, I think Apple will come out with a great phone. I just hope they don't price it out of contention.

Apple's iPhone patent,
This is not from the patent. It's a mock up.
The patent just shows an iPod mini.

iPhone Possibilities
If indeed this rumor is true, it sounds like a nice package...i guess.
We don't know exactly what it will include, until it happens we are left in the dark.
I like the idea of having 2 batteries, it's like a given for a combo device. But what if you lose/forget your charger? It would be nice if there is some feature on the phone where you could transfer the power from the extra battery (the iTunes) to the regular phone if you were really in a fix and needed the phone function ONLY. To be able to use the battery from the iTunes part to "save" you in an emergency (where your regular phone battery dies), and working this way only would be a very handy feature! I don't think they should do it the other way around also, bad idea.
While I think the phone (if it comes out) will include some type of messaging feature, I don't know that it will include mobile iChat. That would be a very good feature! I would pay whatever price I need to to get this phone then.
I think Apple would just be testing the waters to see how well the iPhone (cool name) does before we see a mobile iChat phone. Or maybe we'll only see that whenever (if) iChat is ported to Windows? I just want to see it, NOW!
On the other hand, the Japanese (or some other country) has mobile videoconferencing on their phones, why can't we in America?
