Oh, it generated more than enough buzz, but it hasn't sustained that buzz, even with the release of the SDK. Part of this is due to AT&T's tight grip on the service plans. The 3rd-party apps coming out will keep the iPhone alive long enough for the nextgen USA release.

Yeah Ive an ipod touch but im holding off on the iphone until version 2. Theres rumors of internet explorer mobile being able to use flash and render pages exactly like the iphone in the future but that might not happen till windows mobile 7. If IEm can do that in the future id say the iPhone v2 could as well but it needs to get 3g too. Ill wait a little while after launch as well

There's been a bunch of rumors of a 3G iPhone in the coming months. They might just be trying to **** their inventory.

Yeah, sounds about right. Something is up, cause its cheaper to buy in the UK than it is in the US but a few months ago it was totally the other way around.

I currently have a LG Viewty instead of an IPhone and must say I much prefer it, It has a custom Flash OS which is quite nice and a few forums have managed to 'modify' the phone for custom flash apps and UI's etc. Plus its fully touch screen like the IPhone but with a 5 Meg Camera rather than the IPhones 2 Meg.

Maybe this is the reason behind the price cut by the carphone warehouse.

Look at the monthly payment on your ATT bill... iPhone is not a way to go until you have too much money to burn.

I saw that yesterday, but I just glanced at the title. I actually read the article now, and I was surprised to see them mention native support for Exchange.

There had been talk before they licensed it. Dont know if it will affect sales any more or less.
