that's obviously not real. :


I wish Apple WOULD release a phone, if only that all cellphones on the market today are poorly designed pieces of craptastic junk.

I've been buying "cutting edge" phones for years, and the ALWAYS disappoint.

my only fear would be service provider lock-in. Apple would probably have to become a MVNO for this to work, which might not be all that bad, but i imagine the consumer cost would be prohibitive.]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/

Mark, you've got to create a reasonable apprehension of immanent physical injury in order for such a statement to constitute an assault. This might not seem that relevant to a discussion about Apple products, but I, for one, enjoy the robust expressions in the debate that this company creates. ]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Jul 20th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Jul 20th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/
Your wishes (or threats) won't make it happen -- only the success of a tech that will allow Apple to jump in and control it from top to bottom... or a major threat, and I agree with Oppenheimer that phones will not be a threat for quite a while.

I would think the smart thing to do would be to go 50/50 with Vodafone, build up the brand, and then eventually gobble up T-Mobile USA in a merger. Bundling access to commercial hotspots (such as T-Mobile's ones) via .Mac also would not be a bad idea.

But word-to-the-wise, Apple... don't go exclusively with the candybar form factor. Many of us like flip phones. More RAZR like (form factor, not GUI) and less Nokia'ish.]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Jul 20th 2006 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Jul 20th 2006 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/
I like the looks of the Q, but I'm not a fan of Windows mobile, and the Blackberry and Palm OS based units leave me cold.

Gimme an iPhone with EVDO or HSDPA that I can integrate with my laptop. Gimme am IMAP Mail client (Mail is pretty clean already), gimme iCal and Address Book sync. I don't really care about iTunes myself, but 8 to 16 gigs would be nice for Podcasts. Hell, lets throw in a card slot so we can add our own memory.

Personally, I think Apple has the best chance of making a phone that does what I want it to do, cleanly, easily, seamlessly. Time will tell.]]>Jul 20th 2006 3:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/
For Brendan's "assault" of words to be a felony, he must be reasonably able to carry through with the battery that his words implied.

He obviously isn't, as to Steve Jobs, he exists only as a poster on this message board.

Brendan's act could be considered a misdemeanor in some states, but please. Just chill. No one is going to hurt his Steveness.]]>Jul 20th 2006 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Jul 20th 2006 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/Stop being such a jealous hater and go buy yourself a Mac.

It'll happen, but Apple should start a little phone service like that Helio dealy, or they should make it available for all networks. If they make it available for all networks by 2009 Apple will own Xbox]]>Jul 20th 2006 8:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/20/apple-on-iphone-were-not-sitting-around-doing-nothing/ The other reason would be that it doesn't exist.

This is a Nokia 6680. It exists.

The N80 has a camera on both sides, too.
