I phone looks neat..but here are some of my potential issues with it.

Battery life - projections are always way off, my job deals with industrial CE/windows based devices with screens like that and you're lucky if you see 75% of the projections...and that's with minimal use and a bigger battery.

Touch screen - With it only being a giant touch screen the finger prints and grime on the screen is going to be gross.

Don't get me wrong, it will sell, but for anyone who has an Ipod they know that a few minutes of using the screen and touch pad to browse songs or play a quick game eats up that battery life. I hope they have some revolutionary power save to prove me wrong though, cause it would be nice to have one.

Stop being so realistic Laak..... The only problem with that iPhone is that it's made by apple. That makes it 12% ghey right out of the box. I still want one though.

But he lives in such a nice area.. I can't imagine anyone around there wanting to steal something.. Especially not a car valuable enough to warrant a mortgage.

It starts with i, so it will sell. And will probably be sold out for no other reason than it will be a fad like the iPod and the iEverything.
If it's decent, I'll pick one up.
Samsung has been doing pretty damn good for battery life on their larger screened devices - like my Blackjack - and they have some pretty small batteries. Plus, with a phone as large as the iPhone, there is often more room for a larger battery.

Good point. I think your second mortgage will look pretty good sitting in my garage.

A nice area 5 minutes from the ghetto and 1 minute from the college? Thought you lived on the east side but i could be wrong. But yeah watch what you call a "nice area".

No! The guy acrossed the street stairs at me all the time and revs his 911 carrera at me, LOL. I think that car does a 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds.

Hehe, I know, I get all crazy with logic sometimes.

You are correct, I did my own calculations and 12% is the exact amount of ghey...nice work

Nick, remember that this is just a screen...and is thinner than your phone so it should have an even smaller battery. I would think it to have the same type of battery experience Gerald is seeing...a full PDA type device with more reasons to touch it.

I'd still want one as well though cause it has some neat features...if it could get Goodlink email then I'd be sold.
