Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day
With the launch of Apple's brand-spanking-new 3G iPhone today, Engadget has a great review of the product and many of the prominent features. The review has quite a few good pictures and is not shy about technical details, but I guess they would know a fair bit about it, having ripped one apart yesterday. "The wireless industry is a notoriously tough nut to crack, and it's become pretty clear that the first iPhone wasn't about total domination so much as priming the market and making a good first impression with some very dissatisfied cellphone users. With the iPhone 3G, though, Apple's playing for keeps. Not only is this iPhone's Exchange enterprise support aiming straight for the heart of the business market, but the long-awaited 3rd party application support and App Store means it's no longer just a device, but a viable computing platform. And its 3G network compatibility finally makes the iPhone welcome the world over, especially after Cupertino decided to ditch its non-traditional carrier partnerships in favor of dropping the handset price dramatically. $200? We're still a little stunned." Update 17:17 GMT by SM: The guys over at Engadget also pointed out that Apple is having some severe problems with their iTunes servers and many customer are being sent home without their sync complete for new iPhones.
It's more expensive over the life of the contract than the previous model!
It's not just a plain cell phone!
It doesn't run Linux!

Trolls are like broken clocks. They show the truth two times a day. The rest of the day they talk nonsense.
Damn you Nokia! Or is it Motorola?
So play find the iPhone. You should be able to get in a good couple of rounds before it gets activated.
To make it interesting, start the game with copious amounts of vodka.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
I'll only get one if I can maintain my discounts as an AT&T Super mega ultra platinum AT&T contract only customer (you have to know someone, if you ask about it, they'll tell you it doesn't exist).

I was going to buy an iPhone 2 but my friend's mother's brother's cousin said that his kid knows someone who works for Apple and he said the iPhone 3 should be out by Christmas. So everyone buying the iPhone 2 is getting suckered.
I live in the United States where a lot of people try to appear to have money when they don't.
There, fixed that for you.
