So what will be stopping anyone from getting one of these phones? The iPhone will make a momentous impression on all industries with the blind perspective that it all works out more or less perfectly (no significant flaws or bugs).
Even if Motorola wasn't already dieing a slow death I'm sure Apple would be a catalyst in its final demise. Is RIM gonna lose a big chunk of business?
 
I don't know if RIM will lose a ton of business, but it will definitely be a big competitor..

a lot of companies have already invested a LOT of money to have BB.s work with their system... I can't see companies freely willing to throw away all that money and adopt the iphone. at least not for awhile...
 
Personally, I don't like AT&T. I'm not getting an iPhone until I can get it with a Verizon plan without having to unlock it. I will be getting an iPod Touch 2.0, though :D
 
iPhone is going to be an even larger force in the industry by year end. It will take share from feature phones like samsung and danger, windows mobile phones from samsung and others and RIM. It won't knock anyone out, at least anyone big but it will "put a further hurtin on them"
