ampTK Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Think Secret is reporting on the mother of all mac rumors, the iPhone. According to Ryan Kayz, senior editor, Apple and Cingular have signed a contract for the exclusivity of the phone, valid for half a year. The iPhone is still scheduled for an early 2007 launch (Macworld anyone?), meaning that other service providers will join the party around mid-07. Apple is in talks for similar deals around the world, but the source couldn't give more information. Think secret has previously reported that the phone will sport a candy-bar design, a 2.2 in screen, and a 3 Megapixel camera, and clearly iTunes and iSync integration. Read the article.

non sequitur Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Awww, How come cingular gets all the fun toys? C'mon, sprint! ooooh, sprint is never up there for new stuff except the espn phone. i dont think sprint markets to the young hip market much either... im on verizon, and my contract ended awhile ago. im no waiting for this if its a candybar, i cant stand those. im getting a krzr when they come out shortly. boo cingular!

K4bren Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 First off, I don't think they'd go with sprint because Sprint uses CDMA. Apple would definately want to to GSM. Secondly, I have no idea why they wanted to go with cingular. Apple should just sell it unlocked from the Apple Store and then you can put your own SIM card on it. I also doubt they'd go for Verizon, again CDMA. Apple's not the kind of company who would like CDMA in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandmanfvrga Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I hope it isn't like that damn picture. Frankly the phone needs to be just upright and no "clicking" out like that. Less movement means less stuff to wear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non sequitur Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i wouldnt even consider a candybar iPhone. yeah its apple, but candybars are horrible. sliders are decent(anyone see the new RIZR?) , but id much rather go for a clamshell. those are the best IMO.

jonz14 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 jeez how come cingular gets all the good phones? The Razr is the best thing at my carrier. I live in a rural community and there are only 2 carriers, US Cellular (which I have) and Alltell (which can't have enough reception to talk to somebody). I also hope that is not what the iPhone will look like, because it does not at all look like an Apple product, also I really wanted white. Also, not that I think Microsoft would copy or anything, but I also read there was a Zune phone in development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberracus Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Probably there wil be white and black models and the black ones will have bigger memory allways happen... Anyway i hope the iphone turns to be a zune killer... im waitng to buy an iphone at first sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh. Eh, as much as I love Apple, the "iPhone" isn't likely to appeal to me. I'm a RAZR freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZR Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I just hope it's nothing like that picture, and that the way the US Mobile networks work doesn't affect the quality of the european models, because let's be honest, if it was going to affect any mobile phone, it's going to be one designed by an American company. I bought a D600 earlier in the year, so I probably won't buy one unless it can do something very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 by the looks of it it looks almost exactly like verizon's Chocolate by LG. Linky -> http://www.verizonwireless.com/chocolate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I don't like the chocolate either. I don't see Apple going this route though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non sequitur Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 the chocolate is disgusting. LG is coming out with a clamshell GSM chocolate that looks pretty cool, though. i bought a KRZR from verizon, should be here tomorrow. link: http://www.verizonwireless.com/krzr/ (ooh, flash:)) the krzr is freakin sweet.

sandmanfvrga Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 If the phone didn't click out like that, it would be good but I have grown up and out of the cell phone gadgetry stage. My cousin keeps changing cause he sells them. Me? I got into a $50 prepaid Verizon phone and I am happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
