Post Apple Reinvents the Phone
Looks very cool. Probably too expensive for me at the moment.
But gotta love how Apple redesigns stuff...

Very nice, but I was just telling a co-worker that I hope they come out with a non-phone version of it so I could have a nice wide screen video iPod...

As a stock holder, I was watching the stock through the keynote...

when the announced the AppleTV box, the stock dropped 1.70... then when they announced the phone, it went right back up and then some. :D It's fun to see how quickly the stock moves based on news.

looks like only cingular for now.

BTW - the market usually responds to the news inappropriately (the stock collapsed when they announced itunes). So the phone might be a bust and the apple TV box could be huge. I can't wait to see how it plays out.

the only problem I see with the phone is the huge screen will get ruined in my pocket and case is a deal breaker for me.

The phone looks rad and but i doubt i'd ever switch to cingular no matter how cool the phone is. Everyone I know who's used them has had horror stories about their customer service and shady billing.

My mate did the same thing with his iPod.
Being in Oz we get dribbles of supply early on for a product and generally have to wait until other markets have been mainly sorted. My mate was mad keen for an iPod though and we went down one lunch break to get/order one for him. He had to put his name down but was told a few weeks waiting time. Months went by and still no love. He was mad keen when one day he got a call from the apple store out of the blue. "We have an iPod here for you, come down in the next day or so if you still want it.". Needless to say we powered down there that lunch and picked it up $999 AUS it cost him for the 30Gig. A week later the had the 40Gig for sale in stock for $899!!! He was so livid. To this day I still bring it up and give him shit about it!! :lol:
