Interestingly, I imagine that I’m probably the exact target for this product. I have both an iPod and a phone, and ever since I bought my iPod, I’ve yearned to unite the two (no joke, I’ve been talking about how they should make an iPhone since about 2005). However, I’m still going to wait for a better version for several reasons (some that others have mentioned):
1) 8GB. No thanks. I need at least, *checks iTunes*, 14.13GB of usable disk space for this to be a viable option.
2) AT&T;only. I’m not going to say this was a dumb move, but AT&T;is not big in my area. I’ll have to wait for it to be on Verizon…
3) Internal battery. If/when that thing stops holding a charge, it must be sent to Apple for replacement. It’ll probably cost about as much as the phone itself, too. Have you ever looked at the servicing fee for any problem with an iPod? It costs as much as the ####### iPod!
4) $600 is a little much…. but to be honest.. I’d probably buy one at that price, if it were at least 20GB and on Verizon…
EDIT: Maj, you know it has built-in WiFi, right? I think that’s pretty cool, and if you’re not in WiFi range, EDGE can’t be that bad… or can it? (I don’t have experience with EDGE).
