Yes, I bought my Sunday. This phone owns all phones right now. People say, oh it's only EDGE, so f***ing what.... My life doesn't cease if the webpage takes 10 more seconds to load. On wifi, it's supposed to be crazy for the browser. I'm waiting for JiveTalk (instant messenger to come out in 5 mins [monday]) I love text messaging on it. I have 6 lines of service, 3 of which have unlimited text messaging (2 for free and my sidekick3) and I rather use my iPhone. I don't even use it for the iPod, but that's also sexii. As soon as I start getting movies for it, it's going to own.
Couple of things to look for Killya:
* There will be a build in file browser like the new finder in leopard for sorting through files
* There will be a disk mode
* The reason that there currently isn't a file browser + way to save files from web is because there isn't a file browser on the phone, and they wanted to release the same one that's gonna be in the upcoming leopard OS, complete with coverflow.
* There will even be a special version of "iWork" so you can show your keynote presentations
* So anyway a FULL file browser is coming so you can browse just like windows mobile explorer only in the cool way leopard's file browser is
* Full spotlight like search is coming too
* Widescreen keyboard support will be coming in every app, not just safari
* Copy & Paste, Select Text is coming too (clipboard)
* Also mail will see an upgrade so you can add accounts without doing so through itunes.
* Most of the delays in this is because iTunes is the App Windows & Mac users are familar with for iTunes, so Apple didn't want to do a bad interface that had a file browser hacked into iTunes.
* When Leopard FINAL release comes out, plugging in the iPhone will pop open a special window in the finder that has areas for dragging all your files like a file explorer only more advanced and designed specifically for the iPhone, it will make sure that it works so iTunes knows how much space is for data, and how much is for "iTunes" stuff.
* Apple will be putting iChat on the phone, very, very soon, before Leopard.
* Real Applications are coming to the phone shortly.
* These are all updates that will be software based for the iPhone you already have, so give it a little bit of time. In the meantime enjoy the features it already has.
* Oh and also there will be Photo Sharing, just like in iPhoto how you can check an option to let other people on the network view your photos.
* He said .Mac account would eventually sync your accounts to the .Mac server as well from the phone, and so forth.
* Simplified File sharing when on WIFI networks through bonjour (auto ip discovery) is coming, so once the file system software is up, your buddy in the same room will be able to navigate to his file browser > Network, and grab a file off your phone that you are sharing.
* Ringtones will be coming very, very soon.
* The Camera Software will get upgraded soon to have stabilization (software based)
* Flash is coming eventually, it's just a matter of handling it in a way so when i page has dozens of flash apps running at the same time the page doesn't slow to a crawl, so they have to take the Adobe flash and make some customizations, including for security.
* Anyway, enjoy the great mobile phone for now, and look forward to all the great stuff coming really, really soon. I can't WAIT for the new file browser so I can store stuff on this device!!
* Just remember Windows Mobile has been out or a long time, even everytime a new WM phone comes out all the apps that are supposed to work, have to be tweaked or don't fit on the screen or some bullcrap, so realize this is just Apple's very first OS release for mobile Phone. Apple has lots of treats instore for all of you.
