I was surprised to read up on how much an iphone can't do. the old one that is. you can't send sms to more than one person at a time, no IM, no Video calls, No bluetooth. And being dependant on itunes and stuff. hate the ipod for that! Can the new 2.0 do that. and will India get 2.0 or the 1.1.1.x versions??? there are tonnes of them cracked and used out here,.. Is it flexible or is it gonna be a pain? well, India is gearing up for the iPhone.

I've subsequently enquired about the price from a friend who works at one of the major cellular service providers, who said it could cost anything from R6000 to R8000! It would appear that the term "cheaper" does not apply to SA. I was very excited about this phone when I read your piece.

But Apple/MAC needs to do better. Yes the phone is great looking, but what’s new, faster internet ?, is the camera much better ? why is there no video call’s ? Actually the new things is still OLD. Can I change my battery ?, No the iPhone is the same old phone, wit a faster internet, still stone-age technology, in this business No Apple, has done this again. People like my self got the first one, and was happy with the internet and mail, but in a business you need copy / Paste, but this are you still not getting. Apple's discussion forum, is no good, all you will hear is ” the iPhone does not do this or that” so get the new iPhone 3G and get ready to get disappointed MAC is so good at promoting, and every one just falls on there tail.

The first 22 countries should have the new iPhone in early July and the remaining countries over the months to follow. Hi

It depends on your priorities actually and how you look at it. For example, I would forgo food for two weeks and sell my mother to get one. Then, it doesn't appear that pricy :-) @VhailorZ & @Siphiwo Qangani — yeah overall it is still pricy, but the entry level phone @ $199 is still cheaper than the previous phone.

With a contract is probably the only way us pleps will be able to get hold of one. just as affordable as the current HTC phones?

If I were you I wasn't gonna use "only" to justify the price rather use a "massive $399" it'll cost us arms & legs when converted to SA Rands...Especially now that the rand is somewhat disarray. It’ll be afforded by those in the clouds who talk about “equities & dividends”, unless some Chinese lads clone it & sell to us at their renowned prices. at only $399…Do you really know how much is that?
