i have heard with so many people trying to activate them it is taking some people hours to get them to activate, so hopefully that cools down in about a week. i have also heard that the AT&T edge wireless network for them is pretty slow and they could of gone with something faster like the G3 network or something like that. but the wifi is supposed to work well. im planning on buying one eventually once the bugs get worked out (if there are any) i really wish you could run some apps on it. like more widgets, yahoo messenger, MSN messenger, or IChat. right now you have to go through some website like meebo.com. hopefully that will change in the future.

other wise it looks great

They chose AT&T's EDGE because 3G is not as widely disbursed as EDGE is, covering nearly all of the continental USandA. Also, the fact that Apple is keeping a tight fist on the code is sad but expected in such a market where blackberries and Palms exist. So, Safari applets are the farthest it will get for now.

I want an iPhone :'(

And I heard that like, you don't need to go to an AT&T store tosubscribe to them, but if you get an iPhone and hook it up to your computer that you could subscribe instantly via computer without dealing with "You want this deal." "No I don't, give meh mah foogin' iPhone!" "But you definitely want this other deal, don't you?"

... I need to wait until the unlocking thing is confirmed before I buy one. I am not getting sucked into a 24 months contract.

1 week, but that's what they have found.

I'm sure Apple will fix the exploit pretty soon and I'm sure there will be more exploits down the road, and those too will be fixed, on and on and on... It's the same with any popular device. Luckily, I keep mine in Airplane Mode at all times! Eat that, cyber villains!

After having it now for a few weeks, I have to say it really is one of the coolest devices I've ever owned, mostly becasue of the UI and overall experience of using it. However, I really hope Apple opens it up a bit more down the road by adding more software features and mostly by giving us access to the file system and geek-type stuff. I wish it was a bit less toy and a bit more computer. That's something they could eaily fix, but I guess the question is if they want to.

I've been following the hacking wiki and it looks promising, but I'd greatly prefer an Apple-approved solution.
