Since most of us here live in Canada, we don't really get that much iPhone hype. But seeing a commerical on TV the other day, the iPhone releases tomorrow! And unfortunately, it will be a lot longer before it reaches Canada. But for those of us that need it, the iPhone, as Stephen Colbert said is a "God machine." Not only can you use it as a phone/camera, you can also use the internet, check your e-mail, listen to music/videos, and do a hell of a lot more. It's great that the most used devices have all been combined into one, and this will be the next best thing after the iPod. Speaking of which, it just makes me wonder what they will come up with for the next iPod. But...can't wait for the iPhone to come to Canada. Hell, I may just buy one off of eBay to be prepared...lol.

Would an ebay one work up here? I heard it worked off a network that was not yet available up here...

3000 for a phone.....

[captainkirk]

Not me.

I'd rather buy a phone with mp3 capabilities for $150 and not mortgage my house.

Jobs....truly amazing man.....

lmao you can probably manage to get an iMac and a macbook AND a cellphone at that price!!

I doubt it would work up here, but I'm sure the music/video, Wi-Fi internet capabilities still would. But, until they can get the proper networking for the actual phone to work in Canada, no it wouldn't work as a cell phone. This is the reason behind the long wait for Canada. Because, I believe the iPhone is made to run in a CDMA network (US), whereas in Canada...we don't use the same network.

Sweet.
merciful.
crap.

[Robongo454]

As for the prices, of course they will be up there right now. People have been waiting in lines at the Apple Store in the US for almost a week now to get their hands on this. And the ones that are going to get one, will most likely do the smart thing and sell it on eBay. Because I believe the retail is $499 for 4GB, and $699 for 8GB. I think. So sell it on eBay, where a businessman will pay 3000-5000 for this phone, and it will definitely make up for the lost time a person spent standing that long in line.

[CanucksHD]

its gonna be 500-600$

[Lager Hog]

I hope Apple releases a game console now.

[HockeyNut30]

The iPhone is indeed getting a lot of hype in America but the sad thing is that it's still a generation behind the phones in Japan.
