While the announcement of the 3G iphone floored me when I heard about the low cost, I do not think I will jump on the bandwagon so quickly. I cant deny that it is a damn 'pretty' device and has some pretty cool features but it is also VERY locked down (especially if it takes any cues from its v1 brother). Yes I know you can jailbreak it but you also run the bigger risk of bricking the device which basically screws you big time. And while people may think it is VERY cheap, look at the time they require you to sign up for. Add in the fact that they MAKE you purchase an internet bundle you're looking at over $70 a month once you include the lovely local taxes and such.

Im sure this version will garner a ton more followers than the original but I dont think I'll bite down just yet. No expandable memory slots, fubared bluetooth, no blackberry email support, no mentioning of its ability to send MMS (completely and absolutely ridiculous that this seems to go unmentioned on some sites!!!), the list can go on.

I currently have a WinMo phone and am extremely displeased. Looking for a Nokia phone that will have decent BT, WifI, GPS, fast enough internet (as others have mentioned its the processor that makes it look faster....not the 3g radio), and lots of available apps. Will I have to pay more...yep...but I'll be happy with the freedom
