meh… count me out.
Love it! Will be in the Q on launch day 🙂
Wow, it almost does what an N95 could do 3 years ago :p
thanks, for posting, that was useful …
‘looks a useful evolution / quality update, too … the noise cancellation could be helpful (we not infrequently find noise can ruin call clarity, with our iPhone 3Gs) … ditto the better screen (we sometimes watch TV, live & recorded, via WiFi & EyeTV from an Elgato dual-tuner stick, so the screen resolution improvement will be v.welcome – hopefully there’ll be a corresponding EyeTV update soon, to bring export formats into line …
LMAO at Nokia fan-boy Gary above !
This thing leads the world. Comparing it to some half-cocked, buggy as hell, battery eating, train wreck UI, 20th century hardware, makes you look pretty stupid.
guess the N8 / Symbian 3 will be the Nokia competitor to this new iPhone – due out third quarter, some places, they say – ‘though our experience with the E61/ Symbian 60 we had before iPhone wasn’t good (UI / features really working / updateability), so not sure …
Ordered mine at 10pm through a friend who works at one of the mobile operators.
Just as well really, I’ve just supplied him £1500 worth of surround sound speakers at cost.
I can’t see anything about AppleTV though, did I miss it or was it not there at all.
