iPhone Launch in UK / Germany Hours Away!

Most likely the biggest event in cell phone history is about to happen
within the UK and Germany... Today!

(France, you'll get your chance later in the month)

So all hands on deck as the world's most advanced cell phone hits the
shores on Friday at 6:02pm within these first 2 countries. If you aren't
in LINE by now you'll probably will have little chance to get one that
first day. The lines are starting now, tents are being setup, it's going
to be a once in a lifetime event for Europe, so plan now!

The Chinese are building them as fast as they can and Apple is
chartering flights 100% FULL of iPhones to try and meet the demand.

The iPhone is the future of all Cell/Smartphones so it will be good when
you finally get to touch one. It's freakishly cool, it's kinda like a
spaceship landed and handed over their technology from 100 years into
the future. No other cell/smartphone company has this level of
sophistication, except Apple, the world's leader in innovation.

Rate plans are the same as any smartphone, unlimited data to the
internet are included as part of the plan. Plus you have the much faster
802.11g WiFi connection during most of your daily life, so it makes
using 3G obsolete. AND you have the world's largest multi-touch screen
on any smartphone that has the best battery life by far... it's a dream
device, 10-20 years ahead of Nokia.

Get in line here:

The long wait is almost over!

Just a quick heads-up that this message was cross-posted between all the

Should you foolishly decide to post a follow-up, please make sure your

best thing you can do is not to buy it and save yourself
some money from buying closed source products.

Actually you can get some Linux smartphones.
Some of them have 60Gb disks.
And you can install your own software.

Just google for them.
If you have wifi, then you can install Twinkle software
and have voipfone working out of your Linux smartphone
and your local internet connection.

Ah yes, at £259 ($544) for the phone and a MINUMUM contract of £35
($73.50) a month with O2 I'm sure we're all going to rush out and join
the huge queue of 12 people feverishly waiting for its launch outside the
Apple store in London. I don't think!

What a rip-off.

To avoid making your self look even sillier the next time you might want
to ask yourself why you needed to cross post this to 7 totally unrelated
groups.

Especially since that £259 phone (about £60 more than it sells inthe USA)
doesn't have 3G so it is S-L-O-W for data, and its GSM voice performance
is only mediocre.

If you want the capability of an iPhone, you can keep your existing 3G
phone with bluetooth and buy a Nokia N800. I don't know UK prices, but in
the USA it sells for about $230 (retail is $400 but nobody pays that). No
need for iTunes either -- you can download directly to the N800.

In fact, the N800 works with any Bluetooth phone on any network. Why wait
forever for S-L-O-W legacy EDGE networks, when we can use 3G on modern
networks! In the USA, Verizon with its EV-DO network is further along in
3G deployment than the GSM carriers, so the fastest data speeds are
currently with Verizon.

There is a rumor to the effect that the real reason for all the marketing
hype for iPhone is so that AT&T can get more EDGE revenue from the
suckers, since otherwise they won't be able to afford to build a 3G
network...

As kids in the USA, "well, duh!" ;-)

Is it OK to play these Readvideo clips for Iphone users on your
Nokia N800's media player so they can see them?......(c;

Yes....as soon as you can retrieve the N800 from them drooling over

Yeh, right! The iFlop is backward 2G technology. Who gives a shit
about this CRAP? I sure as hell don't.

NOKIA ROCKS!!!

You all seem to be forgetting that comparing the Pound or Euro to the
dollar is ridiculous. The dollar is in the toilet and well down the
sewer at this point.

Look at the what people earn in the UK in US dollars.
