not only that, but you'd have to be crazy to pay €999 for that.

It would be cheaper and faster to get it in the US, have it shipped, break the contract and pay the import duties than to buy it from Amazon Deutschland

I'll remove it if it's already been posted but here is a demo of the unit by an Apple rep in a CBS interview.
[ removed, hat-tip Juggs ]
I like what I see so far, but I might wait for the second or third major revision before I even consider purchasing one, if then.

best analysis yet (from slashdot):
Why no 3rd party apps?
Why no 3G

I'm not even against the iPhone anymore, but sorry, those are just dumb. They're coming up with all sorts of stupid reasons to make it look better.
My favorite one is this:
When a phone is unlocked it loses its privileges on a provider's data network. An unlocked phone can make GSM calls and send basic SMS. No MMS, no Internet, no iTS.
...
if Apple were to sell the iPhone unlocked (or users were able to unlock it without authorization), the unit would only be able to make basic calls. It couldn't do remote web, push IMAP, visual voicemail, and various other services that are key features of the device.
Hahaha, yes, let's just make up some COMPLETE BULLSHIT to make Apple users feel better about getting screwed.
what's next?
Imagine it would turn out that the iPhones microphone is broken in a large number of units, then these idiots would come up with:
"See, it's not a bug, it's a feature: The iPhone automatically detects when someone only says stupid things and turns the mic off to prevent embarrassment. It's better!"

Just F.U.D., right?
I have a feeling you got hit in the head by that frisbee a couple times.

I don't know what they mean with the "unlocked" but overhere every cellphone folr sale in stores is unlocked exept those sold by the provider (most of the time combined with a subscription).

luckily the locked ones are unlocked in a matter of minutes, and can usually be done by the same store you bought the phone from , olo
