iphone!?

I think our prayers have been answered! Have a read here. If this is true and apple are putting 3G into it for european customers then the iPhone just went back to the top of my shopping list.

Keep an eye out on Monday :D

I like the idea of being able to record calls, i always forget what i've said in important phone calls!

That's a can of worms if ever I saw one.

There's a whole bucket of legal issues involved in recording phone calls. I doubt they'll ever allow that.

A lot of phones allow you to do it already, most give a bleep over the call every now and again to let the other person know what's happening.

I think a delayed European launch will benefit Europeans users, as it will give them time to iron our any software or hardware bugs.

I'm very tempted to get one as I can't live without a smartphone these days and it does sound very innovative, and I really like the idea of it being a closed software platform as it should hopefully lead to stability which has been my biggest bugbear with all the Symbian phones I've owned. Although this would obviously be at the expense of 3rd party applications, but in my experience there are few 3rd party symbian applications I've been that impressed with. Also being a closed platform would hopefully mean no network branded firmwares and the myriad of problems those can cause.

I couldn't live without 3g though, so hopefully the rumours of a 3g model for a European launch will come to fruition.

Pricing will be interesting in the EU, as US customers are more used to long contracts and high handset prices, whereas we're not in Europe. I'd still want a 12 month agreement and considering I pay 75quid a month in line rental i'd expect it for free.

most european countries don't give away phones with contracts like UK the UK is a very specific country regarding mobile phone tech it is eons ahead of here in Belgium where this phone will bomb thanks to

The handset has also been criticised because it does not use the 3G network, does not support instant messaging or voice-activated dialling and does not let people choose ringtones beyond the 25 pre-installed on it.

the only people who will buy it is business men who can write it off against something

I think you being a little short sighted;) - that phone is years ahead of any other. And imagine.. a bug free smartphone - at last! :cool:

Amazing how you are pretty much guaranteeing it will be bug free. Being the sceptic that I am I will say that it will have as many bugs as the next smartphone...
 
The rumored second iPhone revison, coming supposidly in Q1 2008 will be the one to get.
I would have thought that Apple would have integrated/fixed all the major flaws with the current iPhone by the 2nd revision of it.
 
Looks nice, however my O2 Orbit does all that, also has real GPS, has changable battery, I can buy a longer life battery, already has a longer bat life, syncs seemlessly with my PC, has a scroll sphere thing in addition to touch screen, has the ability to connect to any network, has litterally 1000's of free software apps already available for WM5.....no doubt someone will write an interface for this phone that makes it look and behave exactly like (as close as it can) to an iphone, was free on my contract....and I have it here and now, illl er stick with 'myphone' for now thanks ;)

Where from and what life do you get?

I have a TyTn at the moment, and while the bat life is good, it still not upto par compared with my old K800.

02 Orbit standard 1400 mvh battery = 8.33 days standby N95 = 1 day (if lucky)
5/6 hour life of continious GPS usage (very good on par with stand alone GPS units)

With the 2400mvh battery iv just received in the post (which ill use for GPS when I go walking in the mountains, have ordanance survey maps with gps overlaid in the phone using memory map 5 = freakin awesome by the way !) I get over 10 hours of continuous GPS usage out of that, and presumibly double standby time, say 16 days)

So for the features (of which GPS was v important for me) and plain old battery life it totally ruins the N95, which doesnt have non-subscription based gps

That doesn't make sense. no one leaves their phone on standby, people actually use it as well so theres no way you can get 8days out of the orbit realistically. btw the n95 doesn't have a 1 day standby either, i've heard the battery life is 1-2 days with heavy usage.

That comment doesnt make sense, iv not charged mine for 6 days now, and its still fine, got 27% battery left to be exact ;) thats with usual phoning and txting taking place, abit of GPS as I was showing my mate...........and you must have the king of N95's cuz I had one for a couple of weeks, Left it charging over night, left house 9am, was about dead and warning me about battery by 5.30, charge that for a couple of hours then head off out, when get back in it was warning me to charge the battery again, so for normal use it needed charging overnight and once at around 5.30ish, if I didnt it usually died around 8/9pm, barely a days use, I can for sure tell you with average use my orbits still going nearly a week later, no doubt it will need charging tomorrow but a week aint bad, and as origonally stated utterly floors the N95.

Also I told that to my mate that works in vodaphone, he has the exact same experience with them as me (N95's), he fully regrets getting one as he can barely go to work and make it home without the phone screaming to be charged
